Question Posted Wednesday November 8 2006, 6:17 pm
So, next week i'm going to a Reel Big Fish concert with the guy I like. I'm just now getting into ska music, and I want to fit in with this guy and his friends. What clothes do I wear that won't make me look like an idiot? Because even though now I'm listening to this music that I'm starting to love, I have no idea what the "look" is supposed to be. Basically I want to look like I have a clue what's going on.

There is some symbolism in the checkered pattern, mostly a reference to "two-tone" ska, which promotes racial tolerance and harmony. For the most part, there is no one way to dress for a ska show. Just dress comfortably, and be prepared to be hot from skanking/dancing around or being around people who are. Have fun! [ Orpheus's advice column | Ask Orpheus A Question ]
