"Three years ago, I heard Drivers License for the first time and immediately knew I had found a favorite new music artist—and I know I’m not the only one. After taking the world by storm and then releasing her sophomore album, GUTS, back in September, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Tour was subsequently announced, and thus began more Ticketmaster chaos. If you were lucky enough to score tickets, the only thing you have left to worry about is what to wear, and the answer is simple: a little glitter and a lot of grunge.
If you’ve found yourself panic-googling “cheap Mother’s Day gifts” at the eleventh hour, CVS has a lineup of under-$25 gifts that are thoughtful, cute, and look way more expensive than they actually are.
Since her rise to fame, Olivia Rodrigo has quickly solidified her status as a fashion icon. A lover of vintage clothing, thrifting, and a punk-rock aesthetic, Gen-Z songstress’s personal style has determined what concert-goers pull out of their closets to wear to the tour. From mini skirts and Converse to baby tees and Doc Marten platform boots, the Guts Tour is an excuse to dress like an angsty teen again.
Ready to scream love is embarrassing at the top of your lungs? Here’s what to wear while you do it.
Purple on purple
When in doubt, wear purple. Olivia Rodrigo solidified her status as a purple girlie with the release of her debut album, SOUR, in 2021. Since then, the purple parade has been non-stop (Guts incorporates purple on its cover, too). From her 2022 Met Gala look to the purple branding in her merch, tour visuals, and record releases, Olivia Rodrigo and the color purple go hand in hand. Grab your favorite purple top out of your closet and pair it with a mini skirt, or opt for a purple dress paired with your old Doc Martens. The Livies will love it.
A cheeky graphic tee
So far, it seems like the unofficial Guts Tour uniform is a graphic tee paired with a sparkly mini-skirt. Since one of Olivia’s costumes includes a tank that says “I’m just a girl,” she’s given fans the go-ahead to wear the cheekiest baby tee possible as your concert outfit. Olivia Rodrigo merch is also a stellar option—her website strays away from typical merch and opts for baby tees, cropped tanks, and even denim jackets instead.
Silver and sequins
It seems like every major tour we’ve reported on in the past couple of years involves wearing head-to-toe glitter—but hey, we’re not complaining. We’d ordinarily say sequins and pops of silver would help you stand out from the crowd, but at the Guts Tour, it’ll actually help you blend in. Bonus points if you opt for sparkly tights, bedazzled fishnets, and a healthy dose of body glitter.
Hot pants
When we said hot pants were back, we weren’t joking around. Throughout her tour, Olivia’s costumes almost exclusively involve sparkly tights layered under hot pants. A concert is an excuse to have some fun with your outfit, and we’d say there’s no better way to get out of your comfort zone than by wearing a pair of barely-there pants. But fret not: Layering tights underneath will ensure you’re still comfortable all night long.
A mini skirt
Odds are you have a mini skirt lying around in your closet, which means you already own half of a perfect Guts Tour outfit. With a tee and Converse, you have an Olivia-approved concert look. Just remember: The more micro the mini skirt, the better.
Leather and lace
Olivia Rodrigo exists where grunge and glam intersect. A leather-and-lace combo is a juxtaposition that Olivia (and Stevie Nicks) put their wholehearted stamp of approval on. Pair lacy tights with chunky leather boots, or opt for a sheer, lacy shirt layered underneath your favorite leather jacket.
