15 Country Concert Outfit Ideas for Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour

We’ve said it before: We’re in the midst of 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—and it’ll only amplify once the Cowboy Carter tour starts this spring.

She’s not the only sign that country music is having something of a renaissance, though. Lana Del Rey is venturing into the genre for her next album and newer artists like Lainey Wilson, Noah Kahan, and Shaboozey are gaining popularity and Grammy noms with their fresh perspectives.

It’s time to start making preparations.

Once these artists are all on tour, 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. The more distressed the denim shorts—and the more vintage the tee—the better. We love the relaxed slouchy bag as an accessory for the pre-party; however, it may not pass stadium requirements, so consider a crossbody bag as an alternative if so.

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. Wear comfortable shoes—in a look like this, you’re guaranteed to be on your feet and dancing the night away.

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. A belt helps anchor the mismatched denim.

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 in colder temps. For spring and summer festival seasons, you can get the same effect with a vest with a bralette underneath.

Fringed jacket + shorts + Western boots

We like to think Johnny Cash, the Man in Black, was the inspo for this look. For the top, all you need is a simple black T-shirt, tank top, or bodysuit.

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. Keep them in light, monochromatic colors and let your boots do all the talking.

Fringe miniskirt + cow print boots

Cow print is a big trend at the moment, so you won’t be hard-pressed to find a pair of boots or heels that fit your style. In any other circumstance, pairing them with a fringed miniskirt might veer too far into costume territory. But at the Cowboy Carter tour? Leaning into the aesthetic is the whole point.
