This year marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic Guitar Pull and we know you want to look your best. With two big nights packed full of live performances, it’s the perfect opportunity to dust off your cowboy boots and show off your best country-inspired looks. Whether you’re a fan of classic Western wear or enjoy experimenting with more modern trends, dressing up for the occasion is a must. From denim and fringe to statement boots and bold accessories, our fashion guide has all the inspiration you need to create the perfect concert look. 

Classic Tops

Classic Denim and Western Shirts

No country-inspired outfit is complete without a touch of denim and a hint of Western flair. Denim jeans, skirts, and shorts are the perfect base to build your look. Comfortable and practical, these staples give a nod to the rugged and timeless appeal of cowboy culture. Whether you choose high-rise skinny jeans, a classic bootcut, or a trendy wide-leg style, you’ll find plenty of high-quality options from well-loved brands like Levi’s, Wrangler, and Madewell. Pair your favorite denim with a Western-style shirt for an effortless, yet polished look. Think plaid patterns, chambray, or even solid colors featuring iconic pearl snap buttons for a ranch-style look. Ladies can dress things up by tucking a fitted Western shirt into a high-waisted skirt. Guys can channel some serious country vibes by pairing a Western shirt with dark wash jeans and adding a rugged letter belt for a bit of extra edge. Don’t be afraid to go bold with embroidered details and contrast stitching.

Footwear

All About the Boots 

Cowboy boots are a country concert essential. From traditional leather styles to modern takes that include embroidered, distressed, bedazzled, and heeled versions, there’s a boot for every vibe. Brands like Ariat, Lucchese, and Frye offer plenty of style and comfort, making them fan favorites for long nights filled with music and dancing.  To pick out the perfect pair of timeless boots, consider heel height and toe shape. A lower heel will keep your feet happy while dancing around or pointed toe can make your legs look longer when paired with skirts or dresses. For an edgier look, try pairing ankle boots with skinny jeans. Men can pair their favorite pair of boots with a classic pair of bootcut jeans and a matching belt for a cohesive and polished look. Good cowboy boots are built to last, so consider browsing vintage options for a touch of authenticity. 

Country Fringe

Fringe Frenzy

Want to add a bit of flair to your country concert outfit? Fringe is the way to go. It’s playful, and eye-catching, and instantly turns a basic look into a head-turning ensemble. Whether you’re rocking a jacket, vest, or skirt, fringe adds that perfect touch of movement and texture, making it a fun option as you dance the night away at Guitar Pull. To keep your outfit well-balanced, choose one standout piece, like a fringed jacket or suede skirt from Free People. Then, make it the star of your outfit by pairing it with simple, complementary textures like denim jeans or a soft chambray shirt. For a more modern twist, ladies can layer a fringe vest over a solid tank top or a sleek bodysuit. For a masculine take on this trend, look for suede or leather fringe cowboy jackets from trusted brands like Stetson. 

Feminine Classic Country Style

Western Dresses and Skirts 

For a feminine twist on classic country style, Western-inspired dresses and skirts are the way to go. From flirty wrap dresses to flowy maxi styles and casual shirt dresses, these silhouettes are perfect for creating a chic yet relaxed look for the Guitar Pull. Opt for lightweight fabrics and earthy tones to keep things on-trend or make a statement with bold paisley, floral, or plaid prints.  If you’d rather go the skirt route, look for Western options with high slits, fringe details, and unique accents. Pair your skirt with a simple tee, classic denim jacket, or concho belt to pull everything together. For a bohemian-inspired Western style, check out flowy skirts from brands like Spell & The Gypsy. If you’re looking for something modern with a bit of rustic charm, browse shops like Reformation and Urban Outfitters.

Accessories

Hats, Bandanas, and Statement Jewelry

Top off your look with some bold accessories. Start with a cowboy hat, the crown jewel of any country-inspired outfit. Felt hats from brands like Stetson offer a classic vibe perfect for cooler evenings, while straw hats are lightweight and breathable for warmer weather. Pay attention to the brim size, too. A wider brim is great for making a statement, while a smaller one adds a modern twist.  Add a pop of color with a bandana. Tie it around your neck, wrap it in your hair, or even loop it around your bag handle to add a little personality. For a bit of sparkle, toss on some statement jewelry. Think chunky turquoise rings, layered necklaces, and fringe earrings. Men can also rock a bandana or add some extra flair with a bold belt buckle.
