Dress for the music, weather and venue
When planning what to wear to a country music concert, consider these key factors:
Venue: Outdoor concerts allow for more casual and breathable outfits. Indoor venues may lean towards slightly more polished looks.
Weather: Check the forecast before the concert. Layer up to stay warm when the temperature drops and don’t forget a waterproof jacket to keep you dry if the weather turns!
Style: Country style combines Western staples with modern trends. Need some inspiration? Keep on scrolling...
Cowboy boots
Since ‘cowboycore’ dominated the fashion scene last year, the trend has showed no signs of stopping. No longer reserved for horseback riding, cowboy boots have emerged as a go-to for festivals and street style outfits alike. Paula Echevarría has some sleek, everyday options in her SS25 range, but if you’re looking to make a serious statement in the stands, go bold with our metallic options instead.
Cowboy hats
Let’s be real: no Western outfit is complete without a cowboy hat. This year, we’ve upgraded our collection with a variety of on-trend, affordable styles, made to be flaunted on your social media feed. Our top pick? The denim diamante cowboy hat. It’s the perfect mix of Y2K edge and country-cool that will effortlessly tie your look together.
Country music T-shirts
When in doubt, a graphic T-shirt will always help you nail the dress code. Shop our new lineup of music T-shirts, including Shania Twain, Johnny Cash and Post Malone, to rep your favourite country artist in style.
Western belts
Cowboy-inspired accessories are essential for taking your look to the next level. Case in point: a Western belt. With eye-catching disc details, embellishments and hole punches, our faux-leather options add rustic charm to every look. Need styling tips? Create a low-slung effect by draping it over a white boho skirt teamed with cowboy boots. Job done.
Denim dresses
Double denim? Always a vibe. But if you really want to steal the spotlight, reach for a denim dress instead. We’re talking mini lengths and mid-blue washes that add to the classic cowgirl aesthetic. The bodycon style adds a sleek, chic touch, but we also love the bubble hem dress for a fashion-forward take. The choice is yours...
Statement bags
Studded bags are everywhere right now; take this occasion as your cue to join the trend. The faux suede, the studded details — our grab bag is the perfect plus one for your look. It also features crossbody straps, an essential for hands-free dancing at the hoedown.
Cowboy jackets
For breezy days and chilly evenings, a cowboy jacket is the ultimate ‘throw on’ layer. Classic Western silhouettes like our fringe jacket, pair effortlessly with denim shorts for a rodeo-ready vibe. With an open front, cropped fit and floaty tassels, you’ll be serving up major main character energy in the crowds.
