CMA Fest 2025 Outfit Recap: Denim, Boots and Western Sass in Full Swing
The CMA Fest 2025 came in hot—like, boots-melting-on-the-pavement hot—and the country music festival outfits were just as fire. Set in the beating heart of country music, Nashville, this four-day celebration is more than just a lineup of chart-toppers and honky-tonk good times. It’s also the ultimate Western fashion runway, where cowgirls and cowboys from all corners of the world show up and show off.
And let’s be real—next to meeting your favorite artist or dancing on Broadway ’til 2 a.m., the BEST part of CMA Fest?
The outfits. Always the outfits.
💃 CMA Outfit Essentials: The Real MVPs of the Festival
Every diehard country fan knows there are a few ride-or-die wardrobe staples that always make the cut:
-
Denim (and we mean everywhere)
-
Band tees (hello, nostalgia!)
-
Cowboy boots (obviously)
-
Fringe, rhinestones & bold accessories
- Gingham (recent trend)
But it’s not what you wear—it’s how you put it all together that turns heads and gets you compliments in line at the beer tent.
🪶 Western Fashion Trends We Spotted at CMA Fest 2025
✨Denim Everything
From high-rise flares to cutoff vests, denim ruled Broadway. We saw rhinestone-studded jackets, screen-printed shorts, and even denim corsets. Yes girl, denim corsets. You’ll find our own spin on the trend with Working Bull’s denim picks, built tough but made to shine.
🎤 The Band Tee Revival
Whether it was vintage Alan Jackson or a fresh Lainey Wilson tour shirt, band tees were everywhere—and every single one told a story. Pair one with leather shorts and tall boots, and you’re giving “front row energy.”
👢 Boots Made for Stompin’
You know it’s a true country music festival outfit when the boots speak louder than words. Sparkly, suede, stitched, or snake-print—it was all there! Mind you, I quiet like a bit of outfit colour matching in a boot!!!! Probably because it means more boots =)
💎 Rhinestones & Fringe Galore
This year, the motto was clear: more is more. Fringe flew on vests, jackets, and even handbags, while rhinestones caught every last drop of sunset glow. Lucky for you, we’ve got plenty of fringe-worthy finds right here at Working Bull.
🤠 The Classic Hat & Statement Belt Combo
No outfit is complete without a cowboy hat and an oversized buckle that could double as body armor. Western fashion trend tip: Don’t overthink it. A bold hat and a belt can take a basic outfit from meh to CMA headliner.
🎶 Why CMA Fest Fashion Matters
Country music is about stories—and so is your outfit. That band tee? That’s your anthem. Those boots? Your personality. That rhinestone jacket? Your “I showed up to sparkle” moment. What you wear says something—about where you’ve been, what you love, and who you’re cheering for.
So whether you’re planning next year’s CMA road trip or just want to bring a little Nashville to your everyday wardrobe, we’ve got you covered.
