I heard Drivers License for the first time three years ago 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 in September and then releasing her second album GUTS, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Tour was subsequently announced and thus began more Ticketmaster chaos. If you were lucky enough to score tickets, all you have to worry about is what to wear, and the answer is simple: a little glitter and a lot of grunge.
Since her rise to fame, Olivia Rodrigo has quickly cemented her status as a fashion icon. A lover of vintage clothing, thrifting and a punk rock aesthetic, the Gen Z singer’s personal style has dictated what concertgoers pull out of their closets and wear on tour. From miniskirts and Converse to baby T-shirts and Doc Marten platform boots, the Guts Tour is an excuse to dress like an angsty teenager again.
Are you ready to scream that you are embarrassed to love wholeheartedly? Here’s what you should wear.
Purple on purple
When in doubt, wear purple. Olivia Rodrigo cemented 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 also uses purple on his cover). From her 2022 Met Gala look to the purple branding in her merchandise, tour visuals, and record releases, Olivia Rodrigo and the color purple go hand in hand. Grab your favorite purple top from 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 looks like the unofficial Guts tour uniform is a graphic tee paired with a sparkly miniskirt. Since one of Olivia’s costumes includes a tank top that says “I’m just a girl,” she’s given her fans the green light to wear the cheekiest baby t-shirt possible as her concert outfit. Merch from Olivia Rodrigo is also a great option – her site deviates from typical merch and instead focuses on baby t-shirts, cropped tank tops and even denim jackets.
Silver and sequins
It seems like every major tour we’ve covered in the last few years has involved wearing head-to-toe glitter—but hey, we’re not complaining. Normally we would say that sequins and silver accents would help you stand out from the crowd, but on the Guts Tour they actually help you stand out visually. Bonus points if you opt for sparkly tights, sparkly fishnets, and a healthy dose of body glitter.

Hot pants
When we said hot pants were back, we weren’t kidding. During her tour, Olivia’s costume consists almost entirely of sparkly tights worn 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 barely-there pants. But don’t worry: wearing tights underneath will keep you comfortable all night long.
