Olivia Rodrigo is finally heading out on the road again to play her new album around the globe for the Guts world tour, which kicked off in Palm Springs on Feb. 23. Whether or not you’ve scored your tickets yet (which if you haven’t, you should get on that stat), if you’re planning on joining the crowd, pumping your fist and screaming “get him back!”, then the outfit-planning starts now.

Rodrigo released her second studio album Guts last fall, which served as a follow-up to her critically acclaimed first record, Sour. Full of punk-tinged bangers and heart-wrenching lyrics (“Only 19, but I fear they already got the best parts of me”), the pop-rock sensibilities that made the 21-year old’s album such a smash have found their way into the styles we’re already seeing from show-goers on tour.

Even with just a few shows so far, the the #gutstour tag on TikTok has already surpassed over 500M views, and we’re already seeing wardrobe pieces like plaid pleated skirts, platform Doc Martens, and Y2K butterfly hair clips as core staples of the Guts tour “fit”. If you want to capture that Rodrigo style, lean into the early 2000s (think of those dElia*s catalogs references from her official merch store!). Not your style? Go for the softer, more refined TikTok trends we’ve seen Rodrigo rocking lately, such as coquette and rose appliqués. You could even pull from the limited-edition line of Olivia Rodrigo x Rolling Stone merch to celebrate her Rolling Stone cover (wink, wink).

Olivia Rodrigo ‘Guts’ Tour — What to Wear

To help you out, we’ve scoured through the internet and found the best Guts concert outfit ideas and head-turned looks inspired by Rodrigo herself, from sequin mini dresses to throwback denim handbags. Blow every bloodsucker in your section away and release your inner teen angst, because these are looks you’ll want to wear long after the concert is over.

All-American Bitch (Pretty in Purple)

With two albums under her belt, one thing about Rodrigo is obvious: the girl is in her purple era. Even if you won’t want to go full monochrome like we’ve seen some fans do, we recommend adding some violet or lavender accessories or single pieces as a reference to the Guts album. Whether it’s a mauve pleated miniskirt or purple Chuck Taylor high-tops, your Guts Tour outfit will fit right in (it never hurts to add a pop of color to your everyday wardrobe, anyways).

Ballad of a Homeschool Girl (Prep With An Edge)

While you may have felt like everything you did in high school was tragic, pull out the preppier side of your wardrobe for that anti-homeschool girl look, and be bold enough to stray into the pop punk side. Think Avril Lavigne meets uniform dress code with undone neckties, loafers, and plaid mini skirts for the Guts Tour this spring. These additions to your wardrobe will be perfect when autumn comes back around again, too.

Bad Idea, Right? (Pop-Punk Vibes)

If want to channel all the rage of missed teenage dreams, acne, and exes, go badass; we’re talking oversized graphic tees, Dr. Martens, ripped fishnets or baggy cargo pants. It’s a little rock & roll, a little punk, and it’ll be a great look for any other music festivals or concerts where you want to give off more ”sk8r girl” than “lacy”.

Pretty Isn’t Pretty (Balletcore Coquette-ish)

Just because Rodrigo’s style includes heavy pop-punk influences doesn’t mean she hasn’t dabbled in softer, more femme-feeling fashion. If balletcore was the “it” look last year, this year you’ll be seeing more coquette vibes from concert-goers, the slightly more sophisticated alternative. Think more along the lines of pearl accessories and pink ribbons than wrap skirts — to achieve this look, focus on bows, lace, and leg warmers to complete your concert fit.

Teenage Dream (Sparkles Galore)

Pull cues from Rodrigo herself, since plenty of her best red carpet moments have featured sequins, and she’s continued to rock out with sparkly miniskirts as part of her tour wardrobe. Something like a sequin dress or top will totally make you feel like a total teenage dream on concert night (and it’ll make it easy to repurpose those glittery chrome pieces you got last year for the Eras or Renaissance tours). If you really want to go all out, you can even add some Nineties-style gems to your locks with this hair jeweler.

Vampire (Red, White, and Black)

If you want to really stand out from the crowd, take a inspiration from Rodrigo’s own wardrobe. It won’t make you a bloodsucker to copy her overall style, which tends to evoke a lot of nostalgia for 2010s fits — like her go-to Adidas Sambas and Converse sneakers, baby doll tees, or a pleated red mini skirt like the one she wore during her VMAs performance. Although it’s a bit of a departure from her Y2K aesthetic roots, it’s a nice way to keep the homage soft and minimal for your concert outfit.

Get Him Back (Y2K Throwback)

Rodrigo’s sound is influenced by the early 2000’s, so it only makes sense to go full Y2K for the Guts Tour. Reach for bright statement pieces (like novelty necklaces or shades) in colors like cotton candy pink, bright blue, and lime green. Low-rise jeans and camis are also totally appropriate here, and for accessories, finish it all off with some quintessential butterfly clips for a real throwback.
