What to wear to When We Were Young: Las Vegas sits at 26°C (79°F) by day and 14°C (57°F) at night in October, on arena grounds, with a low chance of rain. That means a light base with one warm layer you can carry, cushioned trainers or a low boot, and a bag small enough for the gate rules. The crowd leans punk, alt and goth, so anything that survives the day reads as right.
This is the 2027 outfit guide for When We Were Young. The festival runs in October in Las Vegas, United States, and the conditions barely move year to year: 26°C (79°F) by day, 14°C (57°F) at night, low rain risk on arena grounds. What changes is what the crowd is wearing.
Boots have quietly won. Cowboy, combat and rain boots now outnumber trainers at almost every large festival, because they solve the ground problem without looking like gear. Here that plays out mostly in the layer you carry rather than the one you start in.
