'I went to the Oasis tour and here's what all the women were wearing'

I was lucky enough to get tickets to see Oasis play at Heaton Park in Manchester recently, and it was as incredible as all the fans are saying; if you've got tickets for an upcoming show, whether in Wembley, Edinburgh, Dublin or further afield – or are hoping to buy some last-minute ones – you're in for a real treat.

However, I ummed and ahhed about what I should wear to it for quite a while beforehand. It needed to be practical for the long day spent, in my case, outdoors, yet as someone who loves fashion, I still wanted to look cool.

Of course, you've really got to wear an item from the band's line of merchandise – almost everyone was wearing Oasis T-shirts and bucket hats, which can be bought in advance via the official Oasis store, or you'll be able to pick one up from vendors at or outside the venue. You'll also find loads of great options on the high street, including at Next, Debenhams and M&S.

As I attended Heaton Park, a fully open-air venue, wellies or boots and raincoats were definitely needed (I ordered this leopard print one from ASOS). If you're going to Wembley Stadium or one of the other sporting grounds, however, trainers would be perfectly acceptable; keep with the band's connection to Adidas with a pair of Spezials. Here's what else to pair your merch with...

What to wear to an Oasis gig A crossbody bag

Safe and easily accessible yet stylish, a crossbody bag is perfect for gigs as it leaves your hands free. I took my everyday Arket black crossbody bag, but the cult classic Uniqlo Round Mini Shoulder Bag, £14.90, is perfect for this – it's lightweight and comes in loads of colours now, including this 'Manchester City' baby blue.

Remember that any bag you bring needs to be under A4 in size (no backpacks), and they will be searched prior to entry.

Shorts or Adidas tracksuit bottoms

Even if the weather's not that hot where you'll be, at Heaton Park almost all of the women were wearing shorts rather than jeans or trousers; paired with a band T-shirt, I think it gives a rock 'n' roll, festival look. And if you're planning on sitting on anyone's shoulders, they're of course far more practical than a skirt.

Go for a pair of denim cut-offs like these classic Levi's 501s, from £42, or this black pair from Nobody's Child, now better than half price at £22, and still available in all sizes.

If you don't want to get your legs out then jeans are also perfectly acceptable, or go for a pair of Adidas tracksuit bottoms like these Firebird track pants, £60.

A bucket hat

If you're going to wear any sort of headwear, make it a bucket hat, in keeping with the band's famous 90s style – so many men and women were wearing them at Heaton Park. If you want to buy a non-Oasis one that you'll get more wear out of, I loved this grey leopard print Adidas one my friend was wearing (£30).

It's currently only available in one size though, so if you want more options, ASOS is a great place to look. This Adidas olive-coloured one is £23, while this £8 cream one is a great bargain option is you know you're not going to wear it much after the event.

How to buy Oasis tickets

While they operate in a grey area, the resale websites including viagogo, StubHub and Vivid Seats have the biggest collection of tickets available right now, beginning at prices from £350.

These websites give fans the chance to buy tickets up to the day of the concert in question. And ticket-buyers are protected by each website's guarantee, meaning they are promised either entry to the event with their ticket, or their money back.

Here are the links:

• VIAGOGO - Buy Oasis tickets here
• VIVID SEATS - Buy Oasis tickets here
• STUBHUB - Buy Oasis tickets here

Alternatively, the official retailers, Ticketmaster, Seat Unique and Twickets, are the only legitimate ways to buy tickets at this point in the tour. However, Ticketmaster and Twickets have not had any tickets come through for weeks.

With that said, Seat Unique still has VIP and hospitality tickets available right now. These tickets come complete with complimentary food, drinks, early access, after parties and more.
