If there’s one thing I’m always dreaming up, it’s the perfect outfit for a fun event. And with so many amazing country tours happening, finding that perfect look is on my mind!
I’ve heard from so many of you that it can be a little daunting finding what to wear when you’re over 40. But hear me out, it doesn’t have to be!
I’m sharing my favorite ideas that combine comfort and fashion, so you can feel amazing all night long.
1. Distressed Denim & Straw Hat
I am just obsessed with those carefree farmgirl vibes, and this look is the perfect way to get there. Start with some distressed denim shorts and tuck in a gray graphic tee or tank.
A brown leather belt with a really cool statement buckle is a must.
To complete the whole vibe, you can’t go wrong with brown cowboy boots and a woven or straw cowboy hat for that perfect downhome feel.
A black fringe crossbody bag is the final touch that makes this outfit a total home run.
2. Colorful Patterned Dress & Boots
If you’re hoping for something a little more eye-catching, this is the look for you. Go for a colorful patterned dress, maybe with some retro florals or even a fun abstract geometric design.
I love finding one with long sleeves and a cute ruffle detail to really amp up the girly vibes. Then, just ground the whole look with some beige suede knee-high boots.
The neutral color is key because it lets the dress be the star of the show.
3. Denim Skirt & Double-Breasted Blazer
Who decided denim was only for jeans and shorts? A long denim skirt is such a chic statement piece, especially when it has distressed details, a slit, or a cute A-line shape.
My favorite way to style it is by balancing the skirt with a double-breasted blazer. Having that structured layering piece is just everything.
Just finish the outfit with some white western boots and a neutral hat and you’re good to go.
4. Black Cowboy Hat & Fringed Bag
For a super easy, go-to look that channels your inner boho cowgirl, this combo is a failsafe.
Start with a classic black cowboy hat, a fitted dark tank top or tee, and some denim shorts. I love adding a fun turquoise statement necklace for a pop of color.
Finish things off with cream cowboy boots and a black fringed crossbody bag.
The hat and fringed bag are what give it those major Western vibes, while the necklace and shorts keep it feeling so youthful and trendy.
5. Dark Button-Down Dress & Boots
A dark button-down dress is such a timeless choice, and honestly, it looks amazing on women of all ages. My tip is to pick one with a flattering fit and a stretchy fabric so you can move around comfortably.
You can totally dress it up with black tights and some ornate cowboy boots. I’m talking about the ones with really intricate stitching or some cool embellishments.
Complete the whole outfit with an elegant dark hat, like a fedora or a wide-brim style. It gives off such refined, sophisticated vibes that are perfect for a concert or even a date night.
6. Camo Tank & Cowboy Boots
You can give camo prints a super feminine twist, and it’s actually pretty simple. Just pair a camo print tank with some dark skinny jeans.
I think black or inky blue washes work really well here.
Then, complete the look with a pair of brown traditional cowboy boots. It’s such a cool and unexpected combo!
7. Graphic Tee, Shorts & Woven Bag
Denim shorts with fringe accessories are an absolute must for a country concert. To balance out the shorts, wear them with a loose graphic tee or a flowing sleeveless blouse.
Here’s a pro tip: go for a pair of knee-high cowboy boots instead of short ankle boots. It creates the illusion of longer legs, and who doesn’t love that?
Accessorize with a Southwestern-inspired woven crossbody bag to finish it all off.
8. Light Denim Jacket & LBD
Another denim look that I think is so easy is pairing a light wash denim jacket with a little black dress. I just love this combination.
The denim jacket keeps it casual enough for a concert, but the lace dress makes it feel so feminine and chic.
Finish it off with some beige cowboy boots. I’ve found that lighter tan or cognac shades really complement the denim jacket beautifully.
9. Red Loose Top & White Boots
You can make a really cheerful style statement with a flowy, bright red loose top or blouse paired with some distressed denim shorts. The red just instantly livens up the entire outfit.
To add some contrast, I’d throw on some classic white cowboy boots. It keeps the look feeling youthful and fun! And as a finishing touch, this outfit would be so cute with a pearl necklace.
10. Floral Ruffle Dress & Ankle Boots
Florals are such a classic pattern, and they’re really perfect for any age. I’d look for a midi or maxi length floral dress that has some feminine details, like ruffles, puff sleeves, or tiered skirts.
To make it feel more casual for a concert, you can layer some black leggings underneath. Then, just finish off the girly look with a pair of brown ankle boots. So cute!
11. Loose Plaid Shirt & Boots
Nothing screams country quite like plaid! A loose-fitting plaid shirt with a timeless pattern looks so on theme, it’s perfect.
Personally, I prefer an A-line cut with buttons up the front. You can keep it casual by pairing it with knee-high boots and a matching neutral hat. An effortless and adorable look!
12. Rust Top & White Boots
Concerts in warmer weather just call for brighter colors. A rust or burnt orange sleeveless top looks so lively and ready for summer.
I’d pair it with some dark leggings or even black faux leather leggings to balance out that bright top.
Then, you can finish the look with white ankle cowboy boots and a crisp white hat for a little Western inspiration. This color combo just screams sunshine and good times!
13. Fringe Black Mini Dress
A black mini dress is always chic, but the secret is finding one with some fringe details. Pair it with knee-high or over-the-knee white boots to really elongate your legs.
Top it off with a wide-brimmed black hat for a touch of that Western inspiration. It’s a total showstopper!
14. Burgundy Floral Midi Dress
A floral midi dress in a rich color like burgundy or wine red looks so elegant right away. You get bonus points if it has a figure-flattering wrap silhouette with a cinched waist.
I’d pair this dress with tan ankle boots instead of taller cowboy boots to keep the proportions balanced. Then, top it with a chic wide-brim fedora hat in a coordinating neutral color.
15. Pleated Mini Dress & Boots
For those concerts where you have reserved seating, you can try a more elevated skirt option. A black sleeveless mini dress looks incredibly chic. I love it paired with white ankle cowboy boots and a sparkly clutch purse.
This combination gives you a really put-together vibe while still being comfortable enough for the concert.
And there you have it! Those are 15 of my favorite chic country concert outfit ideas for women over 40.
Whether your personal style is trendy, boho, feminine, or more on the casual side, this list has a stylish option for literally every taste.
Just remember to focus on silhouettes that are age-appropriate and play with flattering fabrics and colors. But most importantly, wear what makes you feel confident and totally fabulous!
