I'll admit it: I'm a bit obsessive about my band tees. Whenever I buy a T-shirt at a concert venue, I always get two so that I can wear one freely and keep the other one in pristine condition for posterity. In my defense, my favorite artists are all septugenarians—hello, Paul McCartney and Neil Young—so who knows how many more shows they'll do!
I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the sweet, sweet return of concert season. In the meantime, I'm living vicariously through all of my favorite band tees. For some outfit styling ideas, I dug through the Instagrams of everyone from L.A. girl Jen Azoulay to London-based influencer Celeste Vignois, and I definitely struck gold. Scroll down for some ideas on how to wear band tees and shop my favorite ones right now.
