I Just Got Back From Country Music's Biggest Festival—Here's Everything I Wore
If you had told me in 2023 that 2024 would be the year I attend my first festival, I wouldn't have believed you. As someone who isn't into tons of walking or big crowds, I have always thought that festivals just weren't for me. On the other hand, as a fashion person, I have always wanted to take a stab at coming up with festival outfits of my own. I love country music, and ever since Beyoncé dropped Cowboy Carter, my Spotify playlist has been almost exclusively country music lately. So why not? Let's go to Stagecoach. This year, the festival was bigger than ever before with major sponsors like Tecovas (my personal favorite Cowboy boot brand) making this year's festival the biggest it's ever been. I ended up snagging a pair of boots from the brand to wear throughout the weekend, and I wasn't the only one who got the Tecovas memo. As I wandered the festival, I saw someone wearing a pair every couple of feet.
Since this festival was my first, I knew I had to bring it with the looks and spent hours looking for inspiration and planning to make sure my outfits this year were top-tier.
Keep scrolling to see the three outfits I ended up taking with me to Stagecoach 2024.
For the first day of Stagecoach, I wanted to go for a softer, sweeter Southern belle inspired outfit with this frilly white set from For Love and Lemons—an eyelet corset top with a red gingham bow on the front and oh-so-trendy bloomer shorts. To complete the vibe I was going for, I reached for this straw Brixton hat. For accessories, I wanted to tie in the red of the gingham bow, so I reached for my Prize Red earrings from Heaven Mayhem. Of course, I topped the look off with my Tecovas, which became the only boots I wore during the festival.

I hate to pick favorites when it comes to my outfits, but this one was the obvious winner. I knew when I was planning my looks for Stagecoach that I wanted to go for a glam cowgirl look for one day, and when I saw this Gucci x Palace bra top, I knew I had found the piece to base my outfit around. With Jéan came to the rescue with this miniskirt that paired perfectly and was super comfortable to wear all day long. The chocolate-brown hat really tied this whole outfit together. I have to admit I'm obsessed with this one.

On my last day of the festival, it was time for something a little more laid-back that still had a trendy vibe to it. This Texas T-shirt from Ardene was the perfect casual but still country option paired with the trendier micro shorts from Retrofête to keep the festival vibe going. For me, the real star of this outfit is the red Dior Saddle Bag. It doesn't get more "fashion person takes country festival" than this purse.
