They’re designed for different hair types, making them an easy way to add a playful finishing touch without spending big.

Concert merchandise doesn’t have to cost upwards of $70 to earn a place in your wardrobe. This Hilary Duff graphic T-shirt from BIG W is priced at just $15, making it an affordable option for fans planning their concert outfits.

Featuring a relaxed fit, crew neckline and graphic portrait, the tee has an easygoing feel that works well with high-waisted denim, a mini skirt or tailored trousers. Add chunky sneakers, a shoulder bag and a pair of statement earrings to give the look a little extra personality.

For anyone searching for what to wear to Hilary Duff, this is a simple way to show your appreciation for the pop star without blowing your concert budget before you’ve even arrived at the venue.

Best for: Zara Larsson and festival-inspired beauty

If there’s one beauty accessory that deserves a place in your concert makeup bag, it’s face gems. The colourful embellishments have become a go-to for adding sparkle to a look, particularly when the occasion calls for something a little more playful than everyday makeup.

This Amazon Australia set includes facial gem stickers and a selection of decorative shapes, including stars, moons and diamond-style embellishments. Wear them around the outer corners of your eyes, scatter a few across your cheekbones or add them to your hair for extra impact.

For a Zara Larsson-inspired beauty look, pair the gems with shimmering eyeshadow, glossy lips and plenty of highlighter. At $12.99, they’re an affordable way to experiment with concert makeup without committing to an entirely new beauty routine.

Best for: A last-minute concert manicure

A fresh ‘fanicure’ can pull an entire concert outfit together, but finding time for a salon appointment before a big show isn’t always easy.

These blue French tip press-on nails from Nail Concrete feature delicate floral details for a playful, feminine finish. The kit includes 32 nails across 16 sizes, with glue for a longer-lasting application or sticky tabs for a shorter-term option.

The brand states that the nails can offer up to three weeks of wear with glue, or around 24 hours with sticky tabs, depending on application and wear. They’re designed to be applied in approximately 10 minutes, making them a convenient option for anyone getting ready at the last minute.

The blue floral design is a sweet alternative to a classic French manicure, especially when paired with denim, silver jewellery, or a glittery concert outfit, and it really captures Zara Larsson’s aesthetic.

Why settle for an ordinary denim skirt when you can customise it for your favourite artist? These rhinestone butterfly appliqué patches from Amazon Australia offer an easy way to add sparkle to clothing and accessories.

The butterfly-shaped designs are made to bring a decorative, light-catching finish to your outfit. Use them to personalise denim jackets, jeans or other suitable fabric pieces, following the product’s application instructions.

They’re a fun option for anyone who wants to create a more individual concert look, especially if you’re working with pieces already sitting in your wardrobe. Just check the fabric’s suitability before applying the patches, and follow the manufacturer’s heat-setting directions.

The result is a personalised outfit that feels more memorable than buying an entirely new look for one night.

Best for: Harry Styles concerts

Sometimes the best concert outfit starts with a T-shirt that feels as personal as the music itself. This Kiss Disco design from Day of The Moon offers a fan-made alternative to standard concert merchandise, with a playful aesthetic that fits neatly into a Harry Styles-inspired wardrobe.

Style it with vintage-wash jeans, a pair of colourful sneakers and layered jewellery for an outfit that feels relaxed without looking like an afterthought. If you prefer a more dressed-up approach, try it with a sequin mini skirt.

For $55, it’s a more considered purchase than an inexpensive accessory, but one that could earn repeat wear well beyond concert season.

Best for: Comfortable concert outfits

Anyone who’s spent hours standing in a concert crowd knows that footwear can make or break the night. A great outfit matters, but so does being able to dance, move around and make it through the encore without regretting your shoe choice.

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 sneakers offer a fashion-forward alternative to basic trainers, with a streamlined silhouette that works with everything from baggy jeans to mini skirts and tailored shorts.

For $220, they’re an investment compared with the budget-friendly accessories on this list, but their everyday styling potential makes them worth considering if you’re looking for shoes that can move between concerts and your regular wardrobe.

Wear them with a fan T-shirt for a relaxed gig outfit or use them to add a sporty edge to a more dressed-up look.

Either way, they’re a practical option for anyone who wants to prioritise comfort without sacrificing personal style.

Best for: A statement accessory that lasts beyond concert season

For anyone looking to take their concert styling into luxury territory, these Swarovski cat-eye sunglasses are a serious statement piece.

Inspired by the brand’s Millenia jewellery family, the design features purple lenses and octagon-cut crystals along the brow line and temples. The result is colourful, eye-catching eyewear that can add a little drama to even the simplest outfit.

For $740, they’re certainly a splurge, but their appeal extends beyond a single show. Pair them with a white T-shirt and denim during the day, or bring them out with a coordinated outfit when you want your accessories to do the talking.

While they’re not an essential concert purchase, they’re an option for anyone who loves statement accessories and wants something that can be worn long after the final encore.

What to wear to Zara Larsson, Hilary Duff and Harry Styles

The best concert outfit is one that reflects both your personal style and the artist you’re seeing.

For Zara Larsson, think face gems, glittery butterfly clips and shimmering makeup.

For Hilary Duff, lean into Y2K nostalgia with graphic tees, denim and playful accessories.

And for Harry Styles, experiment with colourful fan T-shirts, layered jewellery and vintage-inspired styling.

The trick is to mix affordable accessories with pieces you’ll wear again. A $12.99 set of face gems can transform an outfit, while a well-chosen pair of sneakers can become a staple long after the concert dates have passed.

Concert season only comes around once a year, but the best pieces don’t have to be packed away when the music stops.
