In this article, I’ve gathered all 14 alternative or indie conert outfit ideas from casual to dressy together with some styling tips here and there.

1. ALT fashion: Graphic tee
Characterized by non-mainstream edgy styles, graphic tee is always the key when it comes to ALT fashion.
To really scream the edgy vibes, think the abstract or street art tees that look really one of a kind.
If you want to turn your graphic tee to a crop top, wear a sport bra underneath and tuck it underneath just work wonders!
Together with the black leather belt and pointy boots, this is how you rock an alternative concert in a casual yet stylish way.
And for the ladies who love oversized tee, this one below is just super cute (yet savage).
A blended alien and smily face with the quote “You do you”?
Just shut up and take my money.
2. Alternative concert outfit ideas for petite girls
As a 5″3 girl myself, I test it countlessly that dress the whole body in similar shade can really elongate your figure visually and make you appear to be taller.
Vice versa, if you wear too many color in the same outfit, your body will be divided into different blocks and draw eyes horizontally – which is not forgiving.
And can we take a moment appreciate her style? This side braided pink hair look is everything.
3. What to wear to an alternative concert? Layer up
If you’ve been to some alternative concert, you can tell some people layer up the tops like this.
As a safe bet, layer up the two tops in the similar color scheme.
Like this girl above layer her black and white graphic tee with a long sleeve high neck top – so it looks like a set.
Of course, you can layer up in all different colors and patterns! After all, in the ALT world, you dress what you want.
Be a free spirit people!
Another aesthetic combo, a white long sleeve top with black lace cami.
