What do I wear to a gig now I'm no longer a teenager?
This story is part of the July 19 edition of Good Weekend. See all 16 stories. What do I wear to a gig now I'm not a teenager any more? There is, of course, no age limit on going to see your favourite band, whether it's Oasis, Cub Sport or Taylor Swift. The great divide begins inside the venue when you realise that you've timed out of the crop tops, sequinned miniskirts and pink, glitter cowboy hats dominating the mosh pit. Find safety in stylishly remixing all the going-out classics: fun T-shirts, cool denim, statement accessories and shoes that won't give you blisters from dancing and walking to the car park after the concert. You might be a mum, but leave the mom jeans at home on this occasion and demonstrate your familiarity with trends by stepping into a pair of figure-flattering flares or boot-cut jeans (if you really want to push the envelope, iron a seam down the front). Flares tap into the easy-going chic of Kate Hudson as Penny Lane in the 2000 movie Almost Famous, but without the groupie connotations. If everyone at the gig is too young to get the Almost Famous reference, they'll definitely remember Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl half-time performance back in February in those trend-sparking Celine bootleg jeans. If you can't find any vintage band tees from your younger days and would prefer to leave your One Direction relic in the bottom drawer, have some fun with a statement tee that expresses your values as well as a sense of humour. Then just swap your office blazer for a bomber jacket that can discreetly house a pair of earplugs as well as delivering a style encore at brunch on the weekend.

The show's early reception from audiences proved why it reached the No. 1 spot on OTT platforms in India, Canada, and the Middle East.

Their track, Let Me Go , featured in a visually captivating music video that became the talk of the town. Their recent track Unsick with Tyla Yaweh was filmed vibrantly in Mumbai.

These are the best plus-size Amazon pants for summer, according to someone who's tried a lot of them
When I was 12, I watched Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous," a movie that follows a young journalist who travels with a touring band, writing a profile on their triumphant rise to success. It was the first time I was exposed to journalism as a career and I was immediately sold on the busy lifestyle spent backstage, on set and always on the move. No one tells you the realities of journalism: that most days, you can find me in the office in front of my computer working on my next story. Because so much of my time is spent in an office, I was looking for a pair of lightweight pants summer that are affordable, comfortable and can easily go from office chic to evening wear. Amazon Canada has a really great selection of pants that can go from day to night, ranging in styles, colours and sizes. I'm a size 14/16 and I found lots of options for my daily life. Here's my honest review of what worked for me and what didn't. What I tried: Feiersi Women's Casual Wide Leg Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 15 colours Amazon reviews: 1,300+ Starting off strong with a favourite of mine, these wide-leg palazzo pants are exactly what I'm looking for in pants I can wear both to the office and an evening out. I love the fit of these; they hit all the right places and are super comfortable to sit and stand in. I sometimes find that the waistband on these kinds of pants can be a bit too snug or dig in, but these were perfect and felt true to size. The pants are made out of a rayon and polyester blend, but felt closer to a linen blend, which was a nice surprise. They're super lightweight but still look expensive despite their affordable price tag. The only downside is that they do need a steam before you can wear them, but that won't stop me from adding these into my rotation. What I tried: PRETTYGARDEN Women's Summer Work Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 8 colours Amazon reviews: 270+ Everyone needs a pair of black trousers that you can rely on in a pinch. These are a great option if you're looking for something affordable and reliable. These pants are flowy in all the right places, while still hugging your backside, creating a really great silhouette. They're true to size and come with a stretchy waistband, which is handy if you're between sizes. My only cons with these are that the material isn't super breathable and the length will be a problem if you're 5'9" and above. I'm 5'8" and these hit me perfectly at the ankle, so I will be adding these to my closet! What I tried: Qixing Women's Wide Leg Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 14 colours Amazon reviews: 300+ These blue and white patterned pants are a bit outside my comfort zone in terms of what I'd usually wear to the office, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like these. They are super lightweight and I love how flowy they are. You can dress them up with a white button down and dress them down with a t-shirt and the print is a nice change from the neutrals I usually wear to the office. My only qualm is that I wish the elastic waistband had a bit more give. It's not horrible but a bit more give would be appreciated, but given how well these fit and how comfortable they are, I can definitely see myself reaching for them more as the weather continues to warm up. What I tried: Willit Women's Work Pants Shop them in: Sizes XS-3XL and 14 colours Amazon reviews: 260+ I had high hopes for these black trousers after the luck I had with the other pair I wrote about earlier, but these ones were a dud for me. I managed to button these up, but just barely — as they do run small. I found the waistband to be very tight with not a lot of give, which isn't ideal for pants I was hoping to wear for an entire work day. Because these pants run small, they didn't fit properly and weren't the most flattering. If I ordered these again, I would definitely size up. What I tried: Famulily Womens Comfy Cotton Wide Leg Pants Shop them in: Sizes S-XXL and 5 colours Amazon reviews: 150+ Another pair outside my comfort zone! I don't own any other pants in this khaki colour, but I really like them. Again, these can be dressed up or down and are super comfortable and flowy. Bonus points for an elastic waistband with an adjustable string that can work for folks between sizes. I saw some reviews mentioning they were see-through, but I didn't have that problem. I did find them a bit short, they fall right where my ankles begin, so anyone taller than 5'8" might have a hard time with these. They also need a good steam before wearing out, I photographed myself in these straight out of the package and they were extremely wrinkly. I will be keeping these for casual office days and running errands. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the selection of work pants from Amazon. But there is one pair of pants that really stands out and has become a staple in my office wardrobe — and more than 1,000 Amazon reviewers agree with me. The Feiersi Women's Casual Wide Leg Pants are my top pick if you're looking to invest in one pair of go-to pants for the office. The lightweight material made them super comfortable to wear over long stretches of time, the waist fit perfectly, and they look expensive on a budget. That said, they do need to be steamed or ironed before you wear them, but a small price to pay for the perfect work pants. Coming in second place is the PRETTYGARDEN Women's Summer Work Pants, a great pair of staple black pants that look and feel great and can be relied on in a pinch. Third would be Famulily Women's Comfy Cotton Wide Leg Pants which are so lightweight and great for a casual day in the office but do require a thorough steaming before wear. In fourth place: Qixing Women's Wide Leg Pants. I love the pattern and colour selection of these, but the rigid waistband is a bit of a drawback for me. And finally, Willit Women's Work Pants look great and really snatch your waist, but when I'm at work, I want to be comfortable so I can actually focus on my job, so if I bought these again, I would size up.
