Plus Size Concert Shirts
From LoveToKnow Plussize
Whether you are the most die-hard music fan or just a casual music lover, chances are at least one plus size concert shirt can be found in your closet. And if not, never fear, because these shirt styles have become something of a trend in mainstream fashion, even if you’ve never been to an actual concert.
Combining Music and Fashion
Concert shirts can be tricky to mix and match within your regular wardrobe. This is because most of these t-shirt styles tend to be edgy with big expressions, funky band photos or loud colors. These shirts are sold to ensure you remember the music and the experience long after you’ve left the venue. The way to make them work best within the realms of your closet is to choose styles that reflect the band, but are somewhat basic in nature. This means tees with profanity, obscene photos, etc. are probably a no-no because you definitely won’t be able to wear them much.
In fact, the only time it is acceptable to have a concert shirt with any of the above is if you are retaining it for memorabilia purposes and plan to stow it in your favorite keepsake box. Otherwise, keep it simple and balanced. If the shirt is splashed with big pictures of the musicians, choose a solid, muted color. The same rule applies if the shirt is full of various embellishments. If the details are intricate, then you choose a brightly-colored style.
How To Wear Plus Size Concert Shirts
Undoubtedly, concert shirts are meant to worn with an outfit that is both funky and edgy. It is therefore safe to assume you won’t be wearing your Fall Out Boy tee to work (unless you work in an extremely relaxed environment). Because of that fact, feel free to be creative with fashion when putting together an outfit around a concert shirt.
For example, if you’ve got a fabulous Jay-Z concert tee, try mixing it with a pair of plus size skinny jeans, the latest colorful Converse sneakers and a hooded jacket and diamond-studded newsboy cap. Or, if you want to dress it up some, pair a bold, black and white concert tee with a blazer, Western plus-size jeans and a pair of chunky, black motorcycle boots. Be sure to accessorize with lots of color. The possibilities are endless because you are not bound by professional dress codes, so don’t be afraid to try something new.
