Get Dressed! We’re Going To the Janet Jackson: Together Again Tour

Janet Jackson is a multi-hyphenated talent who is synonymous with style and performance—whether it was when she first began appearing alongside her brothers in the family tv series “The Jacksons” in the mid-late ‘70s, or currently, as she sets across the country for her Together Again tour. Ultimately, the Janet Jackson: Together Again tour is Jackson’s return to the stage, and so far, Jackson has proved that her return was worth the wait. It kicked off in Hollywood, Florida earlier in the month and focuses upon the biggest hits of her 40+ year spanning career that has churned out beloved classics like “Nasty,” “Together Again,” “All for You,” “If,” and many more.

So, as I began to think about what I would wear to my show to see the legendary Ms. Jackson, I started to think, what should you wear to your show? Reiterating the above, Jackson will be performing some of her biggest hits from her music eras, so I thought, why not celebrate the eras through clothing?

I mean, when you think about it, Jackson is a fashion icon in her own right. Let’s be honest. The sharp all-black power suiting moment from her 1986 best-seller “Control”—which was very indicative of the times and parallels Jackson making her own name and presence in the music industry on her own terms, to the ground-breaking, influential open-buttoned jeans on her “janet.” album, to her bright, vibrant red tresses and suit, new-age fashion moments during her “The Velvet Rope” era, to her edgy, chunky boot and bootcut jean “dancer-chic” outfits during the “All For You” tour and album run, to futuristic silhouettes for the “Discipline” LP and videos, Jackson proves that she knows how to craft distinguishable and memorable album eras that lend themselves to the attire she adorns herself in. And, while she is most known for her music, her astounding stamina as a top-tier showman, and her eccentric style choices, she also knows how to turn heads on red carpets and premieres and further bolsters her reputation.

Below, you’ll find a few looks inspired by Jackson and her record-breaking, legendary music career. Some looks are for those who want a bolder look when attending a concert, and others are more tamed for those who prefer comfort instead of flashiness. What’s more, you’ll find platform boots (a staple, in my opinion, when it comes to Janet and her sartorial tastes), and you’ll find a tuxedo tube top that feels very sophisticated while getting in all of your “Control” cosplay ideas without the heat of a billowing suit.

So, whether you’re looking for your outfit for the Janet Jackson: Together Again tour, you already know what you’re wearing, or you want to see some ideas of Jackson’s fashion legacy reinterpreted, then look no further—we have you covered with seven looks that you should wear to the “Janet Jackson: Together Again” tour. In conclusion, some of my favorite albums from Janet include “The Velvet Rope,” “All for You,” and “Control.” What are yours? Let us know in the comments!
