Planning what to wear in nashville is just as hard as planning the trip itself (in my opinion, it is even harder).
This isn’t like packing for a regular trip where you already know what to pack for.
For example, if you are packing for a summer vacation, you already know to pack beachwear, dinner dresses, brunch outfits, and comfortable looks for city walks or tourist exploration.
But when it comes to Nashville, the style is a little different, actually, it is a lot more different.
As we all know, Nashville is known as the country music capital of the world, so the style is bold, edgy, and unapologetic. And that combination can be one of the hardest to pull off.
But don’t worry, I’m here for you.
So today, I’m talking about what to wear in Nashville, how to actually style your outfits so you look the part in the most stylish way possible, and of course, I will also be sharing some outfit ideas you can simply copy instead of stressing over what to pack.
Whatever your reason for going to Nashville, whether it is for a rodeo, a family gathering, a concert, or St. Patrick’s Day, there is something on this list for you to wear and absolutely slay.
Let’s get started.

As a minimalist girl, the idea of bold and edgy outfits can sound like a nightmare. But here is how to keep your outfit simple while still looking like a Nashville baddie.
Start with a long-sleeve mini dress and pair it with a boho waist belt.
Then add a cowboy hat (you can’t skip this) and a shoulder bag. It is simple, chic, and a classy way to style your country look without all the extra drama.
Another way to style this outfit is to wear a lace romper with a chain belt, instead of a chunky one.
Why?
Because when there is already a lot of detailing in the clothing piece, you don’t want to overwhelm the outfit with a heavy belt.
Then add your cowboy hat and some minimal jewelry to complete the look.

For a rustic, classic outfit, start by pairing a crochet tie-front cardigan with denim shorts.
Since most of the colors are dull-toned, you will want to add a pop of brightness and freshness by wearing green boots.
Actually, they don’t have to be green; just make sure they are a bold, bright color. That is what makes this outfit stand out.
Another way I like to style this outfit is with a lace cardigan, paired with either a denim mini skirt.
Or, if I want to take it up a notch, a leopard-print micro short (girl, you have to try the leopard shorts) and knee-high boots.
To complete the look, I add a shoulder bag, droopy earrings, and sunglasses.
This is my go-to when I want to make a bold, in fact loud fashion statement. It is an absolute slay.
