The countdown is officially on for Olivia Dean’s upcoming UK tour, and while you’re scrambling to grab tickets, we know another big question is lurking: what are you going to wear? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’ve been streaming Olivia since her Growth EP or brainstorming ahead of The Art of Loving album gets released late September, we’ve put together outfit ideas inspired by each era of her artistry. We’ve also got everything you need to know about the upcoming show dates, because boy, did they send the internet into a frenzy.
The Art of Loving Tour
Olivia Dean is the girl who’s gone from BRIT Award nominations to sold-out shows, and this announcement marks her biggest tour yet. She’ll kick things off at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on April 22nd (two nights, because one just isn’t enough), head to Manchester’s Co-op Live for another two-night stay, and wrap the UK run with not one, not two, but four massive shows at London’s The O2. Yes, Olivia Dean is officially arena status! The news comes right before the release of her highly anticipated new album, The Art of Loving, on September 26th. If you were lucky enough to see Olivia in her early days, this is your bragging rights moment.
The Art of Loving Tour Aesthetic
For the fans ready for Olivia’s newest chapter full of independence.
The singles we’ve already been enjoying from The Art of Loving are dreamy, romantic, and effortlessly chic … so your fit should channel that same energy. Think soft, flowy fabrics like chiffon or satin, pastel or monochrome tones, and delicate details. A maxi dress is the perfect way to go. Flowy enough to dance your heart out in, and elegant enough to be the ‘Lady Lady’ of the room.
The Messy Album Fit
For the fans who love soulful storytelling with a side of chaos.
The first color that comes to mind when we think of the Messy era is purple. Maybe it’s that bold album artwork with Olivia smiling, kinda blurry, against a rich purple backdrop, with slicked-back hair and dazzling earrings. Hair and color combo? Sorted! To channel this era, picture bold, fearless silhouettes, artistic makeup, and a dash of playful flair. Embrace your Messy side and choose something comfortable enough to dance in all night long.
The Growth Era Fit
For the fans who fell for Olivia’s introspective side.
The Growth EP radiates calm energy and soulful reflection, so your outfit should feel effortless and cool. Two must-haves: flowers and braids (trust us, it just works). To modernize this vibe, pair wide-leg trousers with a silky blouse or a crisp button-down. It’s all about comfort meeting class, you’ll look chic but still feel relaxed enough to groove with the music. Because trust us, with Olivia’s live vocals and aura, it’ll be impossible to sit still.
The If You Know What I Mean EP Fit
For the fans who love a playful twist.
This project carries a vintage, soulful energy with nods to classic genres Olivia adores, making it the perfect era to experiment with your look. Inspired by the bold text design on the EP artwork, a graphic tee paired with distressed jeans and some retro sunnies is the move. Add chunky boots or sneakers for a carefree finish. Basically, it’s giving ‘Be My Own Boyfriend‘ energy. That is playful, confident, and totally crowd-ready.
No matter which Olivia Dean era speaks to you, the golden rule is to dress for joy. We’re so ready for the new era that is The Art of Loving and already running laps knowing we will get to experience the album live, not even a year after its release!
