Nashville Outfit Ideas That Are Literally So Cute
So you booked a trip to Nashville and have NO idea what to wear? I am here to help.
Since I made it basically my part-time job when I booked my trip to Nashville last year to find the cutest outfits possible, I am FULLY aware of what the cool girls are wearing for a night out on Broadway.
Nashville is extremely fun, especially if you love country music! So don’t be afraid to lean into the whole western and country vibe because I promise you everyone else there is too.
My experience in Nashville
I went with my girlfriends last year and we are all from New Jersey and we were a little fish out of water since we lean more “mob wife aesthetic” where we’re from, but it was fun dressing a little different than we normally do!
We definitely logged a lot of miles in our cowboy boots (so pick a comfy pair!) and although it wasn’t necessary (the vibes are pretty casual at most places there) we did typically change our outfits when transitioning from daytime to night. (On the nights we made it out, some of us are moms over here!)
But enough about us, let’s get into what fashion staples you should definitely pack if you’re headed to Nashville and then I’ll take you through 12 outfit ideas to inspire your pre-trip shopping.
4 Nashville Fashion Staples You Can Rely On
If you’re totally stumped, trying to keep it minimal and stretch what you already own to create outfits, then choosing a few of these staples and mixing them in with your existing wardrobe will give you automatic Nashville cool girl western vibes.
FASHION STAPLE 1: A Denim Dress
You really cannot go wrong with a denim dress! It’s the perfect base to style any way you feel comfortable, and it definitely gives western vibes if you pair it with cowboy boots or a cowboy hat. You could even add a little western belt or something.
And the best part is that a denim dress also just makes a great closet staple outside of Nashville as something you can wear regularly.
Some of my favorites:
FASHION STAPLE #2: Cowboy Boots
You probably didn’t need me to tell you this one, but here it is anyway! Yep cowboy boots! You can pretty much add it to any outfit and you’re instantly fitting in with the honky-tonk crowd. Pair it with a simple dress, a top and shorts, your favorite pair of jeans- the options are endless.
If you buy nothing else for your trip, a pair of cowboy boots should be making their way into your suitcase.

This one is just FUN. You don’t even have to go double metallic like this. I ended up wearing metallic pants out one night on my trip and it was just such a fun look! This look works well for bachelorette parties too.
White Lace Tank and Denim Shorts Outfit
Simple, yet effective. This is the vibe for daytime bar hopping in Nashville. Especially if you’re going when it’s hot out (we went in late April/ early May and it was HOT).
But it just goes to show you can take a simple look and with the right accessories it’s easily giving western.

Brown on Brown Denim Set Outfit
If you are going in the Fall months, then this look is the cutest thing ever. 50 shades of brown, but it has all the Nashville vibes especially when paired with the western boots and saddle bag.
Western Lace Dress and Cowboy Boots Outfit
This dress really just screams western vibes. The lace and the neckline do it for me. If you really want to up the ante though you can throw in the cowboy boots, western jewelry and western belt. But those are optional I think a dress like this can be styled simply and still work for Nashville.
White Peasant Top and Suede Brown Mini Skirt Outfit
Another very easy but country chic look. I like that the top and the skirt can easily be worn again and mixed and matched with other things in your closet too. So if you shop for these items specifically for the trip you can easily validate your purchase by telling yourself you’ll wear them again! You’re welcome.
Denim Jacket and White Mini Dress Outfit
I’m telling you, you really don’t have to reinvent the wheel here! It really can be as easy as putting together easy staples like a white mini dress and denim jacket! Throw in your western accessories of choice and you have the cutest outfit to pack for Nashville!
Bodycon Denim Dress Outfit
Insanely cute, a little sexy and perfectly Nashville. If this is your style, then you’re going to fit right in!
This style of bodycon just doesn’t work for my body type (check out my guide on how to dress for your body type if you want to learn more!) but omg it’s so cute I had to include it.
Matching Denim on Denim Vest and Shorts Outfit
Dare I say this is my favorite look out of all of these? This whole denim on denim trend this year really just makes me happy, and this outfit is so simple and I love that the top and bottom can be worn together but also styled with so many other things.
Denim Dress with Red Cowboy Boots Outfit
The pops of red with this denim dress are just beyond cute. I love swapping the typical cowboy hat for a trucker hat for a more laidback daytime look that still gives country vibes.
