Discover essential tips to make the most of the festival that will animate Rio over the next two weekends
THE Rock in Rio It’s not just about the music, it’s also a full-blown fashion show, with fans of pop divas, classic rockers and metalheads showing off their unique styles. But beyond expressing personality, comfort is key to enjoying the festival to the fullest.
Figures printed as Didi Wagner and the model Maria Klausmann share their tips to ensure you look amazing and functional.
Comfort with personality: the essential combination
Didi, a veteran of covering Rock in Rio and music events, shares her successful formula for the perfect look: comfort and style in equal measure.
“You’ll be on your feet for a long time, enjoying the shows and walking from stage to stage, so you need to be comfortable. I like light clothing, like shorts, skirts or leggings, and band-print T-shirts,” says Didi. In case of unpredictable weather, she suggests, “Bring a jacket for the evenings, and if there’s a chance of rain, a raincoat is essential.”
The model also recommends avoiding very heavy clothes that retain temperature: “Avoid clothes that get too hot and also clothes with sequins and glitter, which do not combine with heat and sweat. It is nice to leave aside high heels and large bags.”
Accessories: the magic touch
Accessories are the real heroes of any festival look. They elevate the look, without sacrificing comfort. Didi bets on practical and elegant pieces: “A good pair of sunglasses is essential, and a small bag, preferably a zip-up shoulder bag, ensures you only carry the essentials and have your hands free to have fun.”
The model emphasizes the power of accessories to create personality: “Different glasses, large earrings or even a bandana can transform your look. The secret is to be bold and have fun with your choices.”
What to leave at home
Freedom to dare is one of the hallmarks of Rock in Rio, but there are some precautions to take. Didi warns against uncomfortable shoes: “High heels are a trap. You will walk, jump and stand for hours. The shoes must be comfortable.”
Also avoid heavy, flowing fabrics that can become a problem in more practical moments, like going to the bathroom. The model agrees: “Sequins and glitter might not work in the heat and sweat. The goal is to feel good without compromising style.”
Rock Trends in 2024
Fashion at Rock in Rio is as varied as the musical styles that dominate the stages. Among the bets this year are styles such as oversize, with loose and comfortable pieces, old rock, where band t-shirts cannot be missing, as well as good old jeans and cowboys, for those who want to get into the country atmosphere that will stand out this year or simply invest in the look.
The presenter also points out that festival audiences tend to adapt their look to the prevailing music style of each day. “On rock days, band T-shirts and leather jackets dominate. On pop days, the atmosphere is more colorful, relaxed and full of splendor.”
Above all: be yourself
Whichever trend you choose to follow, the experts’ top tip is: stay true to your style. The model adds: “Comfortable boots are the best choice. And if you want to add a touch of glamour, metallic accessories are the perfect choice for the evening.” The former VJ concludes with a piece of advice worth its weight in gold: “Be yourself and choose something that makes you feel good. After all, Rock in Rio is about enjoying the moment in the best possible way.”
