Whether it’s for a music festival or a one-off gig, it can be hard to know what to wear to a country concert. Your first thought must be a cowboy hat, right?

If you’ve never been to a country concert, you might be feeling worried about sticking out from other fans. Do you plan on dancing your heart out and wearing big booties, fringes, or retro pants? Going for that country vibe and overdoing it might make you look like a cowboy parody, but not dressing up will make you feel like you’re missing out on that country spirit that the rest of the crowd are vibing on.

Luckily when it comes to country style, there are plenty of outfits to choose from, and it’s easy to find a style that suits your personality. From cowboy boots to blue jeans and western look jackets, our guide to the four best country concert outfits will help your look stay on key. Here’s how to put together the best country outfits for a concert!

What Is The Best Outfit To Wear To A Concert?

Girls can’t go wrong with denim shorts or denim skirts, while guys tend to opt for a stylish vest, a giant belt, along with the right essentials. For most of them, this comes down to a denim blue pair of jeans, some boohoo bracelets, a felt hat, and ankle boots. The end result is pretty personal and will vary from one person to the other, so aim for something that gives you confidence and allows you to move around for the entire night!

A denim shirt will be the most versatile and easily wearable piece in your country music concert wardrobe (it’s no secret that we love denim shirts). For the proper country concert look, go for a shirt in a light blue faded wash, to give it that lived-in feel. Open up the top few buttons, you don’t want to look stuffy, and layer it under a leather jacket. For a country concert, you’ll want to opt for a leather jacket in a western style, like this studded one from Asos. The end result pretty much depends on the venue.

A country music concert outfit doesn’t have to be all plaid shirts and ripped jeans. If you’re feeling a little adventurous and enjoy a more old-school western look, go for an embroidered black jacket when putting together your country outfit. Western jackets use brightly colored thread to depict flowers, skulls, and another iconography. Wear yours with bootcut jeans in either blue or dark black denim. These can be some of the best country concert outfit ideas to use as inspiration.

3. Heavy Duty Double Denim

If the thought of wearing double denim makes you want to run off and hide, you seriously need to read our guide on how to pull it off properly. The key to wearing double denim to a country music concert is to go for an ensemble in tough, heavy-duty denim. This will give your look an authentic country feel, and keep your concert outfit well structured. If you go for denim that’s too soft your concert outfit will look sloppy and definitely out of place on a ranch. Stick to dark blue jeans and a jacket, pairing two light colors is a double denim no-no and your country concert outfit will clash.

4. Plaid Shirt Over A White Top

We couldn’t talk about what to wear to a country concert and not include the trusty plaid shirt, could we? Go for a plaid shirt in a dark blue or red and be careful in your choice of T-shirts, it’s easy for guys to accidentally clash colors when it comes to layering up and it’s safest to wear a white base layer. Wear it with blue jeans and cowboy boots to look like you’re right at home at the country music concert. This is by far the easiest outfit to pull off and you will always look the part without having to make too much of an effort. We would recommend styling your ensemble with a few key accessories. Try out a simple silver necklace and a red bandana tied around your wrist. If you have tattoos on your forearms make sure to roll your sleeves up for a rock ‘n roll country look.
