Denim - The backbone of any country-inspired look

Nothing screams Western like denim. It’s versatile, durable, and the ultimate starting point for any country concert outfit.

How to Style It:

Try a denim corset top or a cropped denim vest to cinch the waist and add a fun, unexpected edge. Feeling bold? Go with cut-off denim shorts paired with patterned fishnets for that rockstar-meets-rodeo energy. Layer on a statement belt or a Western-style buckle to elevate the look.

  • Rainbow has budget-friendly denim staples like cut-off shorts and classic denim skirts that are perfect for layering.


Fringe + Suede - Bring the Drama and Texture

Fringe adds instant movement, while suede brings that soft, Western texture we all love. Together, they create a show-stopping look that turns heads.

How to Style It:

Fringe isn’t just for jackets anymore—think fringe dresses, skirts, or even fringe belts that move with you while you dance. Bonus points for pairing a fringe mini skirt with over-the-knee boots for that “rodeo rebel” energy.

  • Kai Collective has faux suede layering skirts in rich, earthy tones that are perfect for the concert vibe.

Crochet + Lace - Comfortable, breathable and made for concerts

Nothing says boho-chic like crochet and lace. These materials are not only gorgeous but breathable—perfect for dancing in the crowd.

How to Style It:

Layer a crochet top over a bold bralette or even a sequin bandeau for a playful, peek-a-boo effect. Want something flowy? Pair a lace maxi dress with a wide Western belt and some cowboy boots to give it an edge. Feeling bold? Throw on a crochet mini dress over bike shorts for a flirty, festival-ready look.

Rhinestones + Sparkle - It’s Beyoncé, lovelies. Make sure she can see you

If there was ever a time to sparkle, it’s at a Beyoncé concert. More is more when it comes to rhinestones and sequins.

How to Style It:

Layer your sparkle in unexpected ways. Throw a rhinestone mesh top over a basic tank or style a sequin mini skirt with a distressed band tee for that glam-grunge vibe. And don’t forget the extras—face gems, body glitter, or even rhinestone-studded cowboy hats can level up your entire look.

Where to Shop:

  • Cider and Nasty Gal are your go-tos for rhinestone mesh tops, sequin skirts, and sparkly dresses.

  • Ashley Stewart offers thin glittery bodycon dresses and sequined blazers that hug curves perfectly.

Faux Leather - Edgy, cool and perfect for adding texture

If you want to bring a little edge to your concert look, faux leather is the way to go. It adds texture and makes any outfit instantly more badass.

How to Style It:

Mix hard and soft by pairing faux leather shorts with a sheer lace top or style a leather mini skirt with a fringe jacket. Want to go bold? Opt for bright faux leather in shades of red or metallics for a daring twist.

Cowgirl Boots - The foundation of every country-inspired look

No country concert look is complete without a killer pair of cowgirl boots. They’re stylish, functional, and a staple for any Western-inspired outfit.

How to Style It:

Step beyond the basic brown boot. Go for metallics, snakeskin prints, or even embroidered boots in bold colors. If you’re feeling extra, try cowboy boot-inspired heels for added height without losing that Western flair.

Where to Shop:

  • Torrid’s Festi line offers wide-calf embroidered boots and metallic styles that are perfect for dancing.

  • OnlyMaker has cowboy boots up to size 15 in a variety of bold colors and prints.

Cowgirl Hats + Accessories - Where the real fun begins

Accessories are where you can let your creativity shine. From bold hats to layered jewelry, this is where your outfit really comes to life.

How to Style It:

Stack your jewelry—think turquoise rings, layered chains, and concho belts. When it comes to hats, go beyond plain felt. Add a colorful bandana or bedazzle it yourself with some rhinestones for that extra glam.

Where to Shop:

  • Torrid and Ashley Stewart have bold belts that cinch your waist and tie the look together.

  • Free People offers unique, boho-inspired necklaces that complement a Western vibe.

  • For hats, check out Rhinestone Cowgirl for bedazzled cowgirl hats, grab a personalized Cowboy Carter sash from Nina Lems Party, or go classic with the official Cowboy Carter hat from Beyoncé’s site.
