Bruno Mars in Vancouver: 5 outfit ideas for the concerts at B.C. Place

Bruno Mars is bringing The Romantic Tour to B.C. Place for five nights of concerts this month.

The 16-time Grammy winning music superstar will appear onstage Oct. 14, 16, 17, 20 and 21. If you’re going to attend one of the concerts, you may be asking yourself the all-important question: What am I going to wear?

Online, fans have been leaning in to the romantic theme, sporting lots of red as well as sweet details like frills and lace. To help streamline your pre-show style, we’ve rounded up five stylish finds to consider wearing to watch the Uptown Funk singer live in Vancouver:

Seeing as red is a popular pick for this Mars tour, it’s a good place to start for your upcoming event look. This Jana Crepe Mini Dress from the Montreal-headquartered brand Dynamite features a curve-hugging fit and an eye-catching off the shoulder neckline. The style earns serious bonus points for the fact that it’s made from a comfortable stretch material, which means you’ll feel good in it all night long, whether on your feet dancing or seated in your stadium chair.

There’s one universal fact when it comes to big stadium style: sparkles are always a good idea. And the upcoming Mars shows are no exception. From the Calgary-based brand Kate Hewko, this Statement Sequin Bomber Jacket is an easy one-and-done topper to throw on for your concert look. Available in a few shades, we’re into this brown option, which plays into one of the hottest colour trends of the season.

If your everyday style is more laid-back, you may want to consider opting for a garment that can work for the concert, and for day-to-day wear afterward. A pair of red jeans, like these Reformation Cary Low Rise Slouchy Wide Leg Jeans, are a perfect pick. Featuring a relaxed fit in the seasonal shade Lipstick, they’ll look red-hot at the show while also presenting a fun way to spice up your weekly pant rotation.

It wouldn’t be a Mars concert outfit without some seriously good gold jewelry. After all, the 24K Magic singer is the king of cool accessories. To match his penchant for gold pieces, consider picking up a bold accessory pick like these Leah Alexandra Nodo Earrings. The Vancouver-based jewelry brand’s design, which is a bestseller for the brand, sees 14-karat gold plated brass woven into a textured knot that’s inspired by the Italian word for knot, nodo.

Last but definitely not least, consider stepping out to the Mars concert in Vancouver with a cool pair of cowboy boots. Western-inspired themes run throughout several of Mars’ looks. In fact, the superstar singer also had a cowboy hat collaboration collection with hat-maker Stetson. Tick both the red hue trend and the Western nod with these Corral Women’s Embroidered Studded Snip Toe Cowgirl Boots, available at Canadian Western wear retailer Lammle’s. The heeled boots feature a pointed toe and dazzling details such as stitching and studs. Pair them with a simple pair of jeans and a tank top, or an easy poplin dress, and you’re ready to party, Just the Way You Are.
