Concert outfits can be difficult to choose, especially when a tour is just starting out. Over time, fans establish their own traditions and trends based on the tour’s aesthetic. For example, Taylor Swift fans made, wore and traded friendship bracelets at The Eras Tour and a majority of Harry Styles fans wore feather boas to Love on Tour. Time will tell what iconic fashion trend GUTS World Tour will be known for, but there are distinct fashion trends that Rodrigo’s fans are already following to embrace the developing GUTS World Tour aesthetic.
The Instagram posts below show fans that looked stunning in their super-cute and trendy GUTS World Tour concert outfits!
butterflies & bows
Butterfly imagery has been frequently used in the branding of Rodrigo’s debut album Sour and in her past merch designs. Butterfly clips are a great accessory to make an outfit or a hairstyle feel complete. They are a cute way to discreetly incorporate Rodrigo’s brand into any outfit that one is planning to wear to GUTS World Tour.
The coquette aesthetic, specifically ribbon bows, has been trending for the past few months. Ribbons are versatile and can be used as hair accessories, necklaces, and accents on outfits. Rodrigo has even partaken in the bow trend on the red carpet for her Disney+ documentary driving home 2 u. Therefore, bows are a great way to match Rodrigo’s aesthetic and to add a coquette touch to any outfit.
Leather boots
A majority of fans have been spotted at GUTS World Tour wearing leather boots. A Tik-Tok video posted by user @jaymendes shows the popularity of this fashion trend in a comical way.
Fans have been seen wearing knee high boots, calf length boots and different variations of Doc Martens to Rodrigo’s shows. A reliable pair of leather boots are a fashion necessity that some people may already have in their closets. They can be a great addition to any concert outfit to achieve an effortlessly edgy look.
FIshnet stockings
Fishnet tights are a staple in grunge aesthetic outfits. They come in a variety of styles ranging from classic fishnets to fishnets with heart designs on stockings. Wearing fishnets underneath both mini dresses and mini-skirts elevates the outfit. Choosing a cute pair of stockings that aligns with one’s personal aesthetic is a great way to spice up and personalize an outfit.
HEart necklaces
Rodrigo’s music video for the hit song “bad idea right?” encapsulates the singer’s aesthetic for her sophomore album. In this video she is wearing a white long sleeve crop-top, a silver sequin mini-skirt and a red heart statement necklace. The heart necklace Rodrigo wore in the video was widely loved by her fanbase which led Rodrigo to release the necklace as exclusive Spotify Wrapped merch.
A fun approach to a GUTS World Tour outfit is to recreate Rodrigo’s look from the music video with one’s own personal twist. Wearing a heart necklace is yet another great way to discreetly incorporate a Rodrigo reference into a concert outfit.
Leather & Frills
Pairing leather and frills together perfectly encapsulates Rodrigo’s aesthetic. The contrast between the grunginess of leather and the softness of frilly fabrics aligns with the duality in Rodrigo’s music. Her songs contain emotionally vulnerable lyrics paired with a 2000s pop-rock sound.
Wearing a leather jacket, leather boots, leather skirts or leather pants are all great pieces to incorporate when representing the grunginess in Rodrigo’s discography. Pairing those articles of clothing with a frilly fabric that is a light or pastel color is an accurate representation of the softness in Rodrigo’s discography. Purple, blue, pink, and silver all seem to be commonly used colors in Rodrigo’s branding as well as popularly worn colors by Rodrigo’s fanbase.
Achieving this look pays homage to the iconic cheerleader outfit in Rodrigo’s “good 4 u” music video. The preppy uniform is paired with sleek leather gloves which resonates with the idea of combining two polar-opposite aesthetics.
Ultimately, what one chooses to wear is not the most important part of attending GUTS World Tour. It is infinitely more important for fans to be true to their personal aesthetic, to feel confident, and to have fun rocking out with Rodrigo.
