What to wear to No Doubt Concert

Do you have any lamb tops? How about one of the boho tops you bought this spring?

No LAMB tops and the BOHO tops where NOHO when I tried them on.

I sat lawn at summerfest last week (for bon jovi) and seriously, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe No Doubt will be different, but everyone I saw either looked skanky (super short skirts with tall heels) or really casual. I wore cropped jeans, chucks, a tank top and a short sleeved cardi. I wasn't really pleased with it (we were running late and I didn't have time to change) but once I got there and saw how everyone else was dressed, I felt fine. If you want to be a bit dressier, I think you'd be fine with nice jeans, comfy shoes, and a top with some cute detail. You could also wear a dress with flats or wedges, or shorts with a cute button down top.

I love this free people top - not sure if it's what you're looking for but I needed an excuse to post it :)

I agree with TST. I was thinking some kind of hippy top.

if it were me, I would wear something like (only with jeans):

that's honestly along the lines of what I would wear. I think it's sexy, tough, and comfortable for the conditions smile

So last minute I'm going to SummerFest in Milwaukee to see No Doubt. We'll be sitting in lawn seats......I want to look jeans casual cute. The weather has been mild so I'll need to layer. Suggestions please!!!

For lawn seats, comfort is key. I think the jeans casual cute is the way to go. People were dressed much more casually than I expected when I saw ND last month. I thought the place was going to be crawling with Gwen-costumed girls, but there weren't too many. Saw a couple mild pompadour-ponytails though.

Anyway, I just wore a modern-cut, vneck, loose tshirt in black (Gap cuff-sleve summer t)with jeans and a pair of black sandals with a small heel. I added some big earrings and fun makeup for oomph.

A structured, lightweight cropped jacket would be cool over a fun tank w/ jeans and appropriate accessories. Maybe something with a slight military edge?

The pic below is not close to what I had in mind, but just another idea.

Funny! I'm glad you were able to find some pics.

Jeans and a cute top with a sweater or jacket sounds like the best option. I've been to events at the Summerfest grounds and it's always cooler up there, especially at night.

I'm completely jealous. I'm betting it's going to be a great show! Have a great time!
