The vibe of Ed’s concerts, and his own style is more casual than glamorous. Accordingly, I’ve picked out a look that’s breezy, keeping in mind Mumbai’s hot and humid weather too. I picked a blue dress because one of my most favourite songs by Sheeran, How would you feel, is from the Divide (÷) album which has a blue cover. I’ve paired the dress with sneakers for comfort, as I will be spending more than half a day on my feet!

Denim’s the word
Viddhi Giri, 23, fashion influencer

For me, concert looks must combine style with ease and comfort. That’s why, I gravitate towards denim cut-off shorts, which are comfortable, convenient and chic. I will pair them with a white bikini top, a pair of statement earrings and a jute bag, for a breezy summery look.

Summer cool
Shaunik Khosla, 32, entrepreneur

A crisp, white button-up shirt lets me beat the heat at concerts and have the time of my life. I have paired my shirt with striped cotton shorts [comfort again!] and trendy sneakers to dance the night away.

Simplicity rocks
Tanishq Purohit, 20, mass media student

From what I’ve observed, Ed always chooses to be in comfortable clothing. For most of his performances, he prefers a black T-shirt with black cargo pants, and comfortable but smart shoes. I’m drawing inspiration from his concert style as I appreciate the combination of chic simplicity and comfort.

Fusion is fun
Nandini Ramnath, 22, marketing professional

I remember Ed Sheeran mentioning in an interview that he sees all his songs in colour. That has inspired me to go big and bold with the colour of my outfit. I’ve chosen to draw from the song Blue, with a lightweight chiffon saree, a comfortable cotton tube top, and sneakers that will let me move with ease. To me, this is the perfect fusion of my personal style and my take on Sheeran’s music.

>> Stick to blacks, navy blues, greys and whites
>> For a dressier look, wear a shirt with a waistcoat and smart pants
