I’ll never forget the first time I saw the Zac Brown Band perform live.
It was an outdoor summer concert and I was so excited to sing along to all their hit songs.
But when I got there, I realized I definitely didn’t dress appropriately for a long day in the sun jamming to country music.
I was wearing jeans and a nice blouse – not exactly comfy concert attire.
So I learned the hard way that comfort and practicality should be top priorities when figuring out what to wear to a ZBB show.
If you’ll be catching one of their shows this tour, here are my top tips for cute yet casual concert outfits.
The 2 most important things are comfort and shoes that can handle standing all day.
