" Austin City Limits kicks off tomorrow, which means that hordes of folks\u00A0will descend upon Texas to see everyone from A$AP Rocky and Drake to the Foo Fighters and The Strokes. Though there are performances\u00A0throughout the week, the main events are on the weekends: October 2-4 and 9-11. Chances are, if you&amp;#039;re making the trek to the Lone Star State, it&amp;#039;s going to be for one of those three-day stints.\u00A0 So, for those about to rock, we salute you. We&amp;#039;ve also got a little advice on what clothes\u00A0to bring on\u00A0your trip. Here&amp;#039;s what to pack (and wear) for a few days at Zilker Park, a few nights at Emo&amp;#039;s and Stubb&amp;#039;s, and everything in between.\u00A0 Two Pairs of Jeans  You&amp;#039;re there for a music festival, not work, so you can leave the chinos and trousers behind and opt instead for\u00A0jeans. Go for dark denim, either indigo or black. All the better to hide the beer that someone will inevitably spill on you. Speaking of spills, be sure to bring two pairs so you have a backup.\u00A0 Overdyed black jeans ($220) by Acne Studios, mrporter.com; Indigo Petit New Standard jeans ($185) by A.P.C., endclothing.co.uk Three T-Shirts  It&amp;#039;s still hot in Austin, so a tee is a good bet to stay cool. Plus, it&amp;#039;s easy and unpretentious (unlike all those guys muttering about how the material from the band&amp;#039;s first EP is so much better than their album). A mix of colors and fits will help you vary your look throughout the weekend.\u00A0 Premium crew ($22) by Everlane, everlane.com; Crew slub tee ($24) by Buck Mason, buckmason.com; Mercer tee ($79) by John Elliott + Co., johnelliott.co Two Shirts  A man cannot wear T-shirts all the time. Well, OK, he could, but he shouldn&amp;#039;t. For those days or evenings\u00A0when you&amp;#039;d like a little more structure in your life, it&amp;#039;s good to have\u00A0a couple of classic button-fronts on hand. Try for one in chambray, maybe even with western detailing\u00A0(this is\u00A0Austin, after all), and one with a pattern so you can change it up as needed.

A lightweight denim jacket is a great option to stave off the evening chill, and it&amp;#039;s casual enough that you won&amp;#039;t look out of place during your late-night bar hopping. Try for something a little lighter, so it doesn&amp;#039;t match too closely with your jeans. (And avoid anyone holding red wine.)

You might not feel like you can pull off a leather jacket, but there&amp;#039;s perhaps no better venue for it than a city packed to the gills with men and women who consider it part of their uniform. You&amp;#039;ll fit right in.\u00A0 Leather biker jacket ($750) by Club Monaco x Golden Bear, mrporter.com A Pair of Boots  Dusty fields during the day, dirty bar floors at night\u2014you&amp;#039;ve got to protect your feet. Boots are more in\u00A0line with the whole rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll vibe of ACL than, say, sneakers. Plus, when they&amp;#039;ve got thick rubber soles like the\u00A0ones here, they&amp;#039;re just as comfortable.\u00A0 Desert\u00A0boots ($130) by Clarks, clarksusa.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
