Your personal gig dress code

[DrumPhil]

Typical for me is black jeans, black shoes, and some kind of colored casual button-down shirt. If the gig is a little more casual I’ll switch to a Hawaiian/floral print or other casual short sleeve button-down shirt. If it’s dressier gig, the clothes get dressier. The nature of the gig dictates the uniform, but you’ll never see me on stage looking ragged.

In Florida most drummers get a pass and can wear shorts on regular outdoor gigs.

I have never played in a band where I had to "dress up". So... tennis shoes for sure (big tennis fan and player so I "feel" those shoes ) , black button down shirt that is microfiber, something that soaks up the sweat, and black shorts 100%. Ever since the bass pedal beater got stuck in the cuff of my jeans, no more long pants for me

Don’t be afraid to dress up a little bit your a rock star

Joe Farnsworth is my dress code idol.

Joe is total class and a fine player

- no shirts with other bands names on them
- no shorts
- take off that baseball hat

Not if I'm having a bad hair day.

I may do all three of those tonight, as it will be a little on the warmer side down here.

Black sneakers or my brown Chelsea work boots, blue jeans, and either a shirt with something funny on it, or a button-up western shirt if the weather is cool enough. This is for majority of gigs but we'll dress up more if it's a wedding or other more formal event.

I figured I'd see typical British disdain for "trainers" and "short pants" here, but I had no idea anyone but my dad hated ballcaps as much as some here seem to.

Also, good luck to anyone who doesn't wear shorts to a 3-hour outdoor midday summer hard rock gig in the USA's south, when you've got to save enough gas in the tank for three more sets later that night. #swampcrotch

Brits love seeing short pants on the right people; it's short trousers that they don't like

It's been about a decade since I finally hung up the tuxedo. Can't say I miss it. Finally threw it away not long ago when I tried it on and there was at least three inches between the buttons and buttonholes. Since giving up playing "for real" I haven't done anything that required more than jeans and a t-shirt.

I make sure I wear underware..

Oops.

 

[Squirrel Man]

A wide spectrum of opinions here.

I think it really depends on what you're playing. No jeans/shorts if you're playing classical jazz or a wedding, totally understandable but if I'm in an AC/DC cover band sorry, I'm not wearing a tux.

I have to admit I like my boys being free once in awhile .

 

[DBT]

If I have to wear a tux or suit my minimum is $650 wink wink and even that would be a no go .
