Nothing makes me want to roll down my car windows and bump some country tunes at top volume like summertime does (*cue my awful southern accent singing "Fast Car" by Luke Combs*). There's just something about the warm weather, amiright? If you have tickets to a country festival or show this summer, or are debating buying some, let me help you with a guide for what to wear to a country concert with some affordable pieces that'll look *chefs kiss*.
What I love about country music concerts is that there's no pressure to go wild with your 'fit (although you totes can... and I sometimes do!). The unspoken dress code for any country concert is pretty simple: Wear something with a western vibe (think denim and some cowboy boots), and you're pretty much good to go. However, if you're anything like me and want to do a lil shopping for the occasion, I've curated the perfect list of country concert outfit essentials from jean shorts to mini dresses and western accessories.
No matter which artist you're headed to see this summer (or even if you're just gonna be two-steppin' around your room), you're bound to look and feel your best with these 15 key items, below.
IDK about you, but I'm always looking for a new pair of jean shorts. Not only are they a summer essential, they're also the perfect base piece for a concert look. Style these with a tank and some cowboy boots for a simple (yet effective!) look.
Cowboy boots are a staple for any and every country concert—so if you're in the market to get some, I'd highly recommend a pair of Tecovas! These boots are made from high quality materials that are sure to last you years... plus, they'll keep your feet comfortable all night.
A little white dress will keep you cool while still looking super cute. This one from Urban Outfitters is actually a romper, which is perfect for dancing. Style this dress with some cowboy boots to complete the look.
Similar to eyelet fabric, gingham print just immediately gives me country vibes. This top from Princess Polly would be a perfect statement piece for your OOTD with some jeans and some white high-top Converse.
If you want to add something fun to your concert look, try a belt like this one! This concho design (which comes from the Navajo people) is commonly seen in a lot of western accessories like bolo ties, necklaces, and even horse saddles, so it'll be the perfect addition to your ensemble.
Like I said before, you don't need to go all out for a country concert if you don't want to. Throw on this simple, comfy graphic tee from The Laundry Room and pair it with some jeans for a relaxed look that still gives ~country gal~ vibes.
Overalls are the ultimate comfy option. With all those pockets, you won't even have to worry about not having enough purse space in your stadium-approved bag! Wear these overalls with a tank underneath and don't forget the cowboy hat!
How chic is this beaut from House of Brims?! A sleek black cowboy hat will be the perfect element to top off your country 'fit.
If you're not a huge fan of cowboy boots, Chucks are the perfect alternative. They're a classic American shoe that is sure to keep you comfortable as you dance the night away.
A fun western vest will be just the item to make your country outfit pop! This one from Understated Leather is made of suede and has unique studs across the front. Need styling tips? Wear this over a bandeau top and pair it with denim shorts.
I recently attended a rodeo with my family (I considered it field research for this article!) and let me tell you—I saw so many people wearing cute denim mini dresses. This Good American style would be perfect with some fun cowboy boots!
Eyelet fabric gives strong country vibes. Style this skort with a graphic tee for a more relaxed feel or with a matching crochet top! And of course, don't forget the cowboy boots :)
One of the most annoying parts of going to a concert is worrying about what size bag to bring. It's true that some strict venues only allow clear bags or tiny little clutches but this Coach bag is relatively small (and perfectly on-theme for a country show) so it should work for most venues!
We've seen this bandana style top a lot over the past few years, but the lace and fringe details on the end of this strapless design from Edikted give this shirt a classic country feel. Grab a white skirt or jeans and metal belt to wear with it and you're set.
Your comfiest pair of jeans will be a key item for your concert wardrobe, especially if your show is at night and you're worried about getting cold. Wear these with a gingham top and some high-top Converse for a casual look.
