13 Country Concert Outfit Ideas for Beyoncé’s Inevitable “Cowboy Carter” Tour

We’ve said it before: 2024 is shaping up to be the Year of Yeehaw. Suddenly people who’ve never watched CMT a day in their lives have found themselves searching “country concert outfit ideas” and adding cowboy boots to their shopping cart.

As with most things, we can thank Beyoncé, currently in her Cowboy Carter era, for this trend. The singer’s embrace of fringe and bolo ties has hit the mainstream—but she’s not the only sign that country music is having something of a renaissance. Lana Del Rey is venturing into the genre for her next album, Kacey Musgraves’s latest is climbing the charts, and newer artists like Lainey Wilson, Noah Kahan, and Shaboozey are gaining popularity with their fresh perspectives.

Soon these artists will all be on tour and you’ll find yourself wondering how to channel Western vibes without looking too much like an extra on the Yellowstone set. Our advice? Choose a hallmark—like rhinestones, bandanas, or double denim—and then pair it with something unexpected such as an oversized T-shirt dress or a crisp button-down.

We looked to street style for the best country concert outfit ideas, and even shopped the looks for you. Yeehaw.

Cowboy boots + denim shorts + graphic tee

The ultimate cowgirl uniform, made more interesting with a pair of eye-catching boots.

Bodysuit + metallic miniskirt + rhinestone cowboy hat

Beyoncé may have adopted the disco cowgirl aesthetic (i.e., metallic silver everything + cowboy hat) for her Renaissance era, but the style still applies now that we’re squarely in Cowboy Carter times.

Crochet crop top + high-waist jeans

Go to any country music festival—or hit the streets of Nashville—and you’ll likely see a lot of 1970s boho influences, like crochet and prairie skirts. Keep it modern with the currently on-trend gray jeans and comfortable Dr. Martens.

Denim jacket + maxiskirt

The key to a good Canadian tuxedo? Pair your denim jacket with a skirt (or jeans) in a different wash. For a fun styling hack, layer a button-down dress underneath.

Animal-print jeans + faux fur jacket

One point in favor of Western style? It’s so easy to dress comfortably. We like this combo of leopard jeans and cozy coat.

Fringed jacket + shorts + Western boots

We like to think Johnny Cash—the Man in Black, was the inspo for this look.

Tank top + midiskirt + cowboy boots

Take it from experience: Summer country music concerts are best enjoyed with sweatproof tank tops and lightweight skirts that hold up well in the heat.

Denim dress + white shirt

A denim dress alone is a cute outfit idea…but a denim dress with a shirt layered underneath? Genius in its simplicity.

Prairie dress + butterfly jewelry

Alexa, play “Butterflies” by Kacey Musgraves. This maxidress works for all seasons—just add a cardigan on top for colder temps.

Snakeskin pants + embellished vest

Lainey Wilson is known for her signature bell bottoms. Copy the look for yourself with snakeskin pants and a denim, suede, or faux leather vest.

Puff-sleeve dress + ankle boots

Honestly, just invest in a pair of western-inspired booties now. They work for almost all festival outfits, country or not.

Oversized T-shirt dress + boots

So easy! Just walk into any Austin vintage shop and you’ll find at least 10 variations of this look.

Leather vest + jean shorts

Another simple pairing that works so well for summer festival season: vest, shorts, bodysuit. And no effort needed to personalize—you can swap the shorts for a denim skirt, add cute cowgirl boots, do a long-sleeve top in colder weather, etc.
