Concert Etiquette for a Symphony

what to wear to a symphony orchestra

This is your go-to style guide for the perfect outfit for your next symphony orchestra date or event.

I absolutely love going to an orchestra, it may be because my love for instruments has stemmed from my education in classical music as a child.

However, I sometimes find it difficult to find the perfect outfit for a symphony concert and I’ve put together the perfect style guide so that you are dressed up and ready to enjoy a night filled with the most beautiful music and romance.

The one thing I think about when I imagine a symphony concert is a lavish affair of well-dressed people in a beautiful theatre or venue that’s reminiscent of a grandiose palace or opera. Now, this type of occasion needs a lavish outfit- but one that isn’t too over the top.

Midi Dresses

A midi dress is an excellent choice—its graceful silhouette provides a timeless, refined look that’s ideal for an evening filled with music. a midi dress will keep you looking chic without being too formal.

Feathers

Feathers can add a touch of whimsy and luxury, especially when incorporated subtly into your dress or accessories. Think soft feather trims on sleeves, hems, or even a feathered clutch.

Monochromatic Looks

If you prefer a more modern take, monochromatic looks offer a sleek, minimalist appeal. A well-tailored, all-black ensemble with high-waisted trousers paired with a fitted top can be just as stunning as any gown.
