Let’s Talk Country Concert Outfits
I don’t know about you, but country concerts are my Super Bowl. I'd dare say even my Christmas. Whether I'm in the pit or up in the nosebleeds, every show or festival is an excuse to wear something that screams “I ain't no bandwagon fan.” Country music isn’t just something I listen to, in some cases it's the literal soundtrack of my life (talking to you Morgan!!)
If you’re already planning your 2026 concert lineup (same), I put this blog together to help you figure out your 'fits, whether you’re headed to a stadium tour a tailgate party, or a muddy festival field. I’ll show you exactly what I wear, how I style it, and why I created Sunlit Funlit - where fellow concert addicts could find original tees that speak louder than the lyrics they're screaming over the crowd.
In 2026, Concert Style = Personal Vibe
Concert fashion is getting way more fun. People aren’t just buying tour merch and calling it a day — they’re showing up in outfits that feel personal. For me, that means graphic tees with lyrics that make a statement, comfy pieces that still turn heads, and accessories that make people stop and ask, “where’d you get that?”
I’m loving the mix of glam cowgirl with casual oversized graphic tees and trucker hats. The biggest takeaway for 2026 is wearing something that shows your personality and holds meaning for you. And that's where lyric graphic tees come in.
My Go-To Sunlit Funlit Staples
Lyric Graphic Tees (AKA My Uniform)
I design these tees to feel like an inside joke between fans. I’m talking deep cuts, not the radio singles. A lyric that, if someone sees it, they know you’re one of us.
A few favs:
-
“Ms. Never Do No Wrong” — because same.
-
“Somebody Save Me” — a whole mood.
-
“A Heart on the Run” — for the songs that still make you cry a little between whiskey shots.
Pair these with a leather skirt, cutoff shorts, or go commando in an oversized version. You literally can’t go wrong lol.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts (...for the pit line before dawn)
If I’m going to an outdoor evening show, or I need to be in line before the sun comes up, I always bring one of my graphic hoodies. Even if it’s 80 degrees at doors, it gets cold fast after sunset - especially in the winter. I either wear it oversized, or tie it around my waist like my 15-year-old 90s kid look. For festivals, that bad boy goes in a locker until the sun goes down. (they make great blankets for sitting on damp grass too).
Hats & Extras (For the Trucker Hat Lovers)
As much as I love the trucker hat look, I wasn't blessed with the right shaped head so I end up looking like I should have a go fund me account for my medical expenses. But I am so jealous of those who can pull off the look, especially with bubble braids or a low pony. It for those girls I make my trucker hats for, and y'all seem to really love them! I've received so many great reviews and feedback on my I'm The Problem hat and (shockingly) my Miami hats. That song got so much hate at first!
What I’d Wear Based on Where You’re Sitting
Pit Girl Look
Ain't gonna lie, I'm too old for the nosebleeds these days so you'll typically find me on the floor or in the pit. You know what they say - once you go pit... ? It's such a different experience. You’re there early, you’re on your feet all night, you're there to be SEEN. ..And there’s a chance Morgan might lock eyes with you and pull you up on stage and want to marry you... so of course that's where you'll find me. LOL.
For a summer concert I go crop tee, broken-in boots, layered jewelry, and maybe a flannel tied around my waist. I keep my hair simple and makeup photo-ready. Winter you'll find me in denim, either jeans with a graphic tee or a jumpsuit, and of course a lyric hoodie in hand.
“More Than My Hometown" might be playing, but your outfit’s screaming “take me home with you.”
Tailgate Queen or Lawn Lounger
If you’re in it for the all-day festival, go comfort-meets-style. I’ll wear an oversized graphic tee, tucked into the bra for a cropped look, with some denim cutoff shorts or a skort and of course some broken in boots. Throw a blanket down, pop a cold High Noon, and vibe. You’re still serving — just without the blisters.
Nosebleed Babe
Some of the best nights I ever had growing up were in the very top row with my favorite people. Something about that birds eye view, the acoustics, I thought it was the best seat in the house - and most affordable! Of course your look still matters. Fitted graphic tee tied off, trucker hat, holey jeans, and comfy kicks (or boots with insoles — let’s be real). Just because you're up high doesn’t mean you don’t look 🔥.
Can’t-Miss Add-Ons I Swear By
-
Clear Bag (it’s the rule almost everywhere now, I wear a small messenger bag or a clear backpack depending on the show)
-
Portable Charger (concert service = trash, but I need juice for pics and videos)
-
Lip Gloss & Setting Spray (my holy grail combo)
-
Handheld Portable Fan (I brought one to see Morgan Wallen in Miami and was very popular in the pit!)
- Shoe Inserts!! (save your soles!)
Final Thoughts from Me to You
At the end of the day, it isn't just about clothes. It’s about showing up as the girl who loves this music, who doesn’t just know the words, but feels them. That’s what Sunlit Funlit is all about. Every tee I make is personal. Every hoodie is something I’d wear. And every lyric I print has meant something to me.
So if you’re planning your 2026 fits, let me help. You don’t need to look like everyone else - just wear something that feels like you. I promise you’ll feel more connected, more confident, and more concert-core than ever.
Head over to sunlitfunlit.com and check out what’s new — and don’t forget to tag me in your outfits @sunlitfunlit so I can hype you up. I’ll see you at the show, that's me in the pit probably screaming the same song as you.
