Wondering what to wear to open mic night? You’ve come to the right place!
There’s something extra fun and intimate when you perform in front of a live audience.
That just allows you to bond with the crowd differently.
That said, performing on stage can be nerve-wracking, especially when you don’t feel comfortable in your outfit.
I got you.
Ahead, I’ve gathered 10 open mic performers’ real-life photos from head to toe to get you inspired along with some styling hacks -enjoy!
1. Feel the vibes
First thing first, let’s remember open mic is an informal event and the crowds are just total strangers.
That means? Nobody really cares what you are actually wearing!
By remembering that, it just lessens your stress and all you have to do is pick whatever you want!
A crop top, statement ripped jeans, and a high bun?
I’m sure she is singing some emotional songs.
When in doubt, pick the outfit that resonates so you can act more naturally.
Please introduce yourself to the audience
You may be sharing the stage with other performers tonight, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care about you.
Say your name during your set, and yell out a social media handle, if that’s your thing.
2. Band open mic night
For a rock and roll night, a graphic tee and eyelet belt are the failproof combo.
Just give me a mic, and I’ll rock it.

3. Stay one of a kind
Show your true self my loves!
I’m sure your energy can hype up the show.
4. A print maxi dress
Why a print maxi dress? It’s as flattering as it’s comfy – especially when you want to sit during the performance.
The print dress just vibes well especially when you are going to sing some romantic songs.
5. Button down & jeans
For gents, button-down and comfy jeans are the universally decent combo of all time.
For shoes, everything from loafers to tennis shoes to sneakers works fine depending on your style.
But no Birkenstock please.
6. Look put together in a peplum dress
For some ladies, I get it, you want a dress that makes you feel extra secure when you perform.
Well, you just can’t go wrong with the peplum dress.
Featuring the extra stripe of fabric gathered around the wrist, the fabric just camouflages the belly seamlessly and makes you feel extra forgiving.
Such a mood booster.
7. A classy peplum dress
If you want to upload the live footage on Facebook page or Instagram, it definitely worth the time to invest in a nice dress!
I mean, the video can go viral.
Who knows?!
8. Blazer looks good on you
This lady’s outfit is a 10/10.
Such an elegant color combo!
Seriously, with this outfit, I think I will remember her among all the performers.
9. When in doubt, wear red
If you don’t want to appear trying too hard, wear a casual look but in red!
Subconsciously we all know red symbolizes passion, love, and desire and it’s really a nice outfit color to consider!
10. Monochrome outfit for open mic
Guess what, not only does monochrome look stylish, but it also helps you appear to be taller and slimmer.
By teaming similar shades from head to toe, your figure is elongated visually!
Performing tip:
If that’s your first performance and you’re really nervous about the whole situation (especially if you have a panic attack easily), consider wearing sunnies!
I am dead serious.
Wear the sunnies as it’s part of your look and rock it.
That way, you will feel less overwhelmed by all the eye contact and you can focus on your singing.
You’re welcome, my friend.
