Seems everyone is going country. From Beyoncé to Taylor Swift more artists are embracing country music than ever before. While we’re not huge connoisseurs of the genre, we do like some of the fashion trends they attract. 

Attending a country concert allows you to immerse yourself in the country lifestyle and showcase your unique fashion sense. Whether you're a seasoned concert-goer or a first-timer, dressing the part can enhance your overall experience. This guide will help you create great outfits for your next country concert, so you can look stylish and feel comfortable.

Classic Denim

No country concert outfit is complete without denim. This timeless fabric is a staple in any cowgirl's wardrobe and provides a perfect blend of comfort and style. Whether you opt for jeans, shorts, or a denim jacket, you'll be right on trend.

• Denim Shorts: For warmer weather, denim shorts are a great alternative. They keep you cool while giving off a laid-back vibe. You can purchase stylish denim shorts from retailers like American Eagle and Free People.

• Skinny Jeans: A pair of well-fitted skinny jeans is a versatile choice. Pair them with a cute top and cowboy boots for a classic look. Brands like Levi's and Wrangler offer high-quality jeans that you can find at Macy's and Nordstrom.

• Denim Jacket: A denim jacket adds a layer of warmth for cooler evenings and complements any outfit. Look for jackets with unique details like embroidery or patches. You can find trendy options at Zara and H&M.

Flirty Dresses

Flirty, flowy dresses are perfect for a country concert. They are easy to wear and move in, allowing you to dance the night away. Look for dresses with fun prints, lace details, or ruffles to add a touch of femininity to your outfit.

• Lace Dresses: Lace adds a touch of elegance to any outfit. A lace dress with cowboy boots strikes the perfect balance between dressy and casual. Check out Forever 21 and Express for affordable lace dresses.

• Floral Dresses: Floral patterns are always in style for country concerts. A flowery dress paired with cowboy boots creates a charming look. You can find beautiful floral dresses at Anthropologie and ASOS.

• Off-the-Shoulder Dresses: Show off your shoulders with an off-the-shoulder dress. This style is trendy and keeps you cool during hot summer concerts. Shop for these dresses at boutiques like Lulus and Revolve.

Cowboy Boots

No country concert outfit is complete without a pair of cowboy boots. These iconic shoes are not only stylish but also practical for outdoor events. They provide comfort and support, allowing you to stand and dance for hours.

Classic Leather Boots: Traditional leather cowboy boots are a must-have. They come in various colors and designs, so you can choose a pair that matches your style. Don’t be shy about adding your personal flair. Brands like Ariat and Justin Boots offer high-quality options available at Boot Barn, Amazon and Zappos.

Western Accessories

Accessories play a crucial role in completing your country concert outfit. From hats to jewelry, the right accessories can elevate your look and showcase your personal style.

• Add some color and style to your outfit with statement jewelry like turquoise necklaces, chunky bracelets, and large hoop earrings. Shop for statement jewelry at Charming Charlie and BaubleBar.

• Cowboy Hat: A cowboy hat is a quintessential accessory for a country concert. It provides shade and adds an authentic touch to your outfit. Look for hats made from straw or felt, depending on the weather. You can find stylish cowboy hats at Stetson and Boot Barn.

Belts: A stylish belt can cinch your waist and add detail to your look. Look for belts with unique buckles or embellishments. You can find a variety of belts at Target and Buckle.

Comfortable Tops

When it comes to tops, comfort is key. You'll want to choose pieces that are breathable and allow for easy movement. However, comfort doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style.

• Graphic Tees: Show off your personality with a fun graphic tee. Pair it with jeans or shorts for a casual, laid-back look. You can find graphic tees at Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic.

• Plaid Shirts: Plaid shirts are a classic choice for a country concert. They feel comfortable and stylish, and you can wear them tied around the waist or buttoned up. Check out Old Navy and J.Crew for a range of plaid shirt options.

• Tank Tops: For hot summer concerts, tank tops are a great choice. Look for ones with interesting details like lace or embroidery. Shop for cute tank tops at Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister.

Layering Pieces

Even in the summer, temperatures can drop in the evening, so it's a good idea to bring a layering piece to stay warm.

• Hoodies: For a more casual look, a hoodie is a comfortable option. Choose one with a fun graphic or logo to add some personality. Check out American Apparel and H&M for trendy hoodies.

• Cardigans: You can easily carry a lightweight cardigan and throw it on when it gets chilly. Look for ones in neutral colors that will match any outfit. You can find stylish cardigans at Gap and Banana Republic.

• Vests: A denim or suede vest can add a stylish layer without being too heavy. Pair it with a dress or a plaid shirt for a cool, layered look. You can find vests at Lucky Brand and Free People.
