Country Look Staples
Cowboy boots
Ever 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 looks alike. Cowboy boots aren’t the only way to tap into the country concert theme. Espadrilles in tan, sand or denim shades are fashionable alternatives to bring a softer, summer feel, while loafers add a polished edge. Prefer a little height? Chunky platform heels with buckles, studs or woven textures keep the look statement-making, while still nodding to the country dress code.
Cowboy hats
Let’s be real: no western look is complete without a cowboy hat. This year, we’ve upgraded our collection with a variety of on-trend styles, made to be flaunted on your social media feed.
Versatile Western Look Options
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, featuring Shania Twain, Johnny Cash and Post Malone, to rep your favorite country artist in style.
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 major main character energy in the crowds.
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 cowgirl aesthetic. Bodycon silhouettes add a sleek touch, but we also love bubble hem styles for a fashion-forward take.
Rodeo Accessories
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 and embellishments, our faux-leather options add rustic charm to every look. Want to create a low-slung effect? Drape it over a white boho skirt teamed with cowboy boots. Job done.
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.
Western Neckerchiefs
A neckerchief is the easiest way to add a western touch without going full cowboy. Tie it loosely around your neck over a graphic tee, denim jacket or checked shirt for that effortless country concert feel or wear it as a hair accessory for a relaxed, festival-ready look. Stick to classic hues like red, navy, cream and tan or opt for paisley prints to tap into the cowboy theme while keeping your look cool and casual.
Country-Inspired Looks Based On Artist
Post Malone
For a Post Malone-inspired country look, blend western staples with laid-back streetwear. Think relaxed denim or bootcut jeans paired with graphic tees, plaid shirts, suede-look jackets and subtle fringe details for that effortless cowboy-meets-cool-girl feel.
Shania Twain
Channel Shania Twain with full country glam. Denim on denim, animal prints and rhinestone details are your go-to for creating a bold look that feels fun, confident and concert-ready.
Dolly Parton
For Dolly Parton energy, more is more. Double down on sequins, rhinestones and anything sparkly to bring that iconic country-star shine to your look.
Megan Moroney
If you’re dressing with Megan Moroney in mind, lean into shades of pink. Soft denim, flowy dresses, cowboy boots and touches of blue work perfectly alongside floral prints, denim skirts, white tops and delicate jewelry.
The Shires
