What do musicians wear?

Musicians wear various types of clothing depending on the venue, the kind of music, employer requirements, performance type, the instrument played, and their personality. Some employers and groups, such as orchestras and concert bands, require musicians wear black pants or skirts with white shirts, which provides a uniformed look so the audience can concentrate on the music. Other musicians choose to make their clothing part of the overall performance, with elaborate costume changes or matching outfits. Marching bands are known for their uniforms, which provide a fun and consistent look. Some musicians choose to perform in their street clothes.
