Outdoor Concert Summer Staples
I LOVE music and nothing is better than a summer concert! When the sun is down and its still a little warm but not ungodly hot like it can sometimes get in the flyover states during the summer day time hours!
Now I love a good country concert and obviously a good country outfit to go with it but I get that’s not everyone’s style. So I’ve got a couple different recommendations depending on your music preference!
Country
Rockin’ Outfit
Serratelli Cattleman Wool Western Hat - Boot Barn
Boy Bye Blue Checkered Skort - PinkLily
Fringe Benefits High Neck Crop Top - Windsor
Water Bottle
Comfy Shoes
Poppy Boots By Dingo - Altar’d State
Cowboy boots are deceivingly comfortable! Spending the extra money to get a good pair is so worth it!
Flatmosphere 13 oz Water Bottle - Amazon
I don’t want to encourage smuggling of drinks into any concerts but this fits perfectly in bags and pockets!!

Hair & Makeup
For hair and makeup, I really don’t do anything differently EXCEPT I always use makeup setting spray. I am preferential to Morphe’s spray. It just keeps everything in place even through sweaty concerts.
For hair, I really don’t recommend extensions unless you’re going to put your hair up. I always feel like I am drowning in sweaty hair if I wear them down in the summertime.
If it’s an all day music festival REMEMBER SUNSCREEN! And reapply every couple of hours! I have featured a couple of my favorite sunscreens in the past but highly recommend Neutrogena Clear Face 50 SPF. It doesn’t clog my pours at all!
