It’s Festival Season! Here’s What to Wear to a Country Concert

Country concerts are all about the music. But let’s not sleep on your look!

Fashion choices for a country concert are a big deal, especially since you want to look super cute in your videos. The keys to a great outfit are style and comfort.

What good is on-brand ensemble if you can’t boot scootin’ boogie in it? Plus, you don’t want your feet hurting when there’s an encore and the possibility of a second encore.

Opt for clothing that is lightweight and gives you plenty of room to move in. No one wants to be tugging on their clothes all night or sitting on the sidelines because their shoe choice was more fashion than functional.

Also, be respectful of other fans. Hats should be a reasonable size so other fans can enjoy the show. Not to mention, you don’t want to constantly be adjusting your hat because the person next to you keeps bumping into it.

Ultimately, as important as your outfit is, being able to enjoy the show is the most important part.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite items to wear to a country concert that are both stylish and comfortable from head to toe. You’re sure to get some compliments with these.

What to Wear to a Country Concert?

Headwear

Cowboy hats are a given at a country concert! If you’re debating on whether or not to wear one, just go for it. Nine times out of 10, you’ll wish you wore one more than you will wish you didn’t.

And if you’re really wanting to take things up a notch, or if you and the girls are gearing up for a girls’ night out at the show, opt for these fun light-up hats that come with matching sunglasses. They come in assorted colors to not only match your outfit, but elevate it to the next level.

Of course, you can always choose a simple trucker hat. They’re totally in right now, and those with cute messages, song lyrics or designs are the cream of the crop.

This trucker hat is perfect for your concert and speaks to your love languages — cowboys and country music!

Jackets

A jacket is always a great way to share a little of your country-loving personality and Western fashion sense. And who doesn’t love fringe?

Find a jacket in a color that brings your entire look together with this fringe-tastic faux suede leather jacket.

Looking for something a little more edgy? How about this Raisin’ Hell jacket. It’s a great way to show off your personality and the perfect addition to your country concert look.

Shirts

Shirts that have a message are a sure-fire way to get your message across at a show. Graphic tees and those with clever sayings are always a win, like the “This Actually Is My First Rodeo” T-shirt below. It’s a fun play on the saying “This ain’t my first rodeo,” not to mention, it will be a fabulous gift for anyone who is going to their first concert or festival.

For those who love to go to shows for the music and not the content, this is for you. If you can’t stand seeing the stage through a sea of phones, we found your shirt! This is how you can get your message across without being confrontational.

Boots

Remember, shoes should be comfortable enough to wear all night long, and perhaps to an after party. These low-heel boots are a great option to keep your feet happy.

Plus, they come in a variety of colors, which will still allow you to make a show-stopping statement.

Looking for more razzle dazzle? Go for the rhinestones! But this higher heel could be problematic, so grab a few shoe inserts to save your feet.

Socks and Insoles

If you think you’ll be sitting at all during a country concert, think again. You’ll be on your feet dancing all night, which mean you better make sure your shoes are comfortable. A good sole insert is always a good idea to keep those feet happy from opener to encore.

Keeping the balls of the feet comfortable is key here, but a little arch support can go a long way.

And don’t forget about socks!

Even a good pair of boots can get uncomfortable without a good long sock. And since you’ve gotta put a sock on it, you might as well make it a cute one! These Cowboy Smiley socks are just too adorable to pass up.
