So my husband just got us tickets to go see Arcade Fire :) The "dress code" is formal or costume...he got us GA pit tickets, so I don't want anything too uncomfortable...any suggestions??

Is this a sit down or stand up type show? I have only heard one or two arcade fire songs so I'm not sure how rowdy of a show it could be lol. Even if you do have seats (but I'm assuming probably not because in my experience pit is usually standing room only) you'll probably want to wear comfortable shoes. Even if there are seats people will only usually use them in between sets. When the band comes on everyone is probably going to stand. So above all I would wear something comfortable. And if you're going to be in a crowd and think it might get a little rowdy/that people will be moving/dancing, etc. I would go one step further and make sure whatever shoes you choose don't come off. I've seen so many girls lose shoes because they're loose fitting and when people start moving they come right off and are lost. And even if it's cold outside when you're standing inside a crowd with people moving around its going to be HOT. I always had this problem when going to shows in the winter. It would be freezing outside waiting in line but we would only be wearing one thin jacket because we would be in the crowd and it would get so hot. On that note also don't wear anything that you don't want to sweat in or possibly get ripped or torn. Again, I'm not sure of the genre/crowd type so this may be overkill lol. I like pop punk a lot so the shows I've gone to can get pretty rough and crazy.

I like the second pic you posted symone :) I probably should've given more details...the concert will be in April (got a while to plan). it's going to be in Austin at the 360 Amphitheater...Texas weather is unpredictable so temp can be anywhere from 70-100 in April.

Thanks for the advice Caitlin :) yeah it's standing...I prefer seats but my husband loves to be in GA...I don't think it'll get too rowdy but I'm sure people will be jumping and dancing.

I would wear a comfortable outfit, but jazz it up a bit. Like wear a sequin top or dress and do some crazy, insane makeup or face painting! Or maybe even a mask. After reading about the dress code, they said they didn't want people in like work attire or anything, like a lot of people showing up in business wear or kinda stuffy "formal" outfits and that wasn't their intention.
I would totally do like a cool fantasy makeup inspired look or make a mask out of makeup and wear feathers or flowers in my hair or something. I'd probably wear a pair of black jeans or leather pants (shorts or skirt if its warm) and a nice black top with some AWESOME statement jewelry! Or else I would wear a cool patterned top. Definitely wear comfortable shoes-I would go with a flat boot/bootie or something that is comfortable to stand for hours in. I'll draw out some quick sketches with ideas later =)

Natalie thanks so much! Great ideas! :) Love the flower and make up idea :) As far as shoes I have to find the most comfortable heels I can find...I'm short which is why I prefer seats, but we're planning on getting in line early so we can be up front :)

I'm glad to help! Definitely get some wedges or a chunky heel, especially since you'll be there early (and standing for even longer). I'm not terribly short (5'5"), but whenever I'd go to shows, where ever I stood, me and my shorter friends could usually see everything on raised staged and tall people are usually super friendly and accomodating if they're in front of someone much shorter than them and will gladly stand behind your group. But anyways, I would totally buy a shoe that straps onto your feet or a bootie with a heel so you don't slip out of them when dancing or shuffling through the crowd to get in and out of the venue or to the bathroom or bar... that's always when I almost lose a shoe, its not when I'm dancing, but when I'm squeezing my way to the bathroom or everyone is filing out of the venue.
