So three of the WWIWT amigos are heading down to Cork for the weekend for a bit of boozing, boogying and boarding (eh surfing, but wanted to get the third B in there somehow…) 2Many DJ’s are playing in The Savoy on Friday night so we thought we would make a weekend of it. Anywho, owing to a serious lack of funds, among other reasons, I haven’t been to a gig in yonks – so have been wracking my brain thinking of what I should wear to the gig?
What does one wear to a night of sweaty fist pumping, frivolous drunken dancing and banging tunes?
The Boyos Themselves
Geek Chic NOT ALLOWED
Obviously the first thing to consider is clothing that will hide the sweatiness – light coloured sleeves are a no-no (sweaty pits howareya?) – although I suppose sleeves in general aren’t really that handy or practical are they?
Heels are another thing that I wouldn’t bother with for the night. No way do I want sore feet interrupting me getting my groove on, ya dig? So flats it is. Personally I like good pair of Converse for comfort and style, but whatever ya prefer I spose. At least you know with Cons that when, not if, someone jumps on your foot while hyperactively dancing, it’s not going to hurt too much.
Blingtastic jewellery is always a must at these things – rings, necklaces, earrings – pile them all on! A little jingle-jangle at a gig is good, but remember: nothing too restricting. You need flexibility for the Robot.
Kanye: Style Inspiration? (Suitable hold-alls a must for a gig right?)
Kanye: Style Inspiration? (Silly runners - definite kudos)
Nathan Barley: Style Inspiration? (Irony. Wear it)
You also can’t go too fancy – if you’re going to freak at someone spilling a drop of beer on it don’t wear it.
Hats are out, some funny fecker will rob that off your head in a flash. And yes I am that funny fecker…
So basically you want to be cool in both senses of the word, but be careful: too cool and you’ll end up looking like your trying to be a “cool kid” and that’s just Not Cool. If you’ve seen “Being A Dickheads Cool” on you tube you’ll know what I mean. Wearer of FAKE glasses I’m looking at you!
Skins. Too cool. Therefore not cool enough
Naked Skins. Still not cool
And guys just a note; if you are the type of person who thinks its just so frickin HILARIOUS to wear an all-in-one gimp suit, or whatever they’re called, be warned I WILL punch you in the face if I see you. And yes we can see your package. And no it’s not that impressive.
Salt 'N Pepper: Style Inspiration? (NO HATS Sillies!)
JLS: Style Inspiration? (NEVER)
So to sum up, I will not be wearing sleeves, heels, a gimp suit, a hat, fake glasses or anything too “cool” – So I know what I won’t be wearing…but I still don’t know what to wear…
What would you guys wear?
