‘ve worn a lot of sparkly outfits over the years to concerts and Las Vegas, so I had plenty of items to choose from! Whether you’re seeing Kelsea Ballerini – or a different artist – I hope my roundup of pictures and inspo gives you some country concert outfit ideas!

I love seeing my favorite artists in concert, and having my friends or my mom and sister there singing and dancing with me, makes it even better. Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, and Megan Moroney are just a few concerts I’ve been to with my friends recently! And I was so excited to score tickets to Kelsea Ballerini with my best friend! We went to the Chicago show for her Patterns Tour on January 23rd 2025 and it was the best time. Kelsea said there was a glitter theme so we immediately got to planning and researching Kelsea Ballerini concert outfits.

Glitter and Glam Country Concert Outfit Ideas: Kelsea Ballerini’s Patterns Tour

I’ve worn a lot of sparkly outfits over the years to concerts and Las Vegas, so I had plenty of items to choose from! I also ordered a few new things just to experiment at home and see what looked best. Whether you’re seeing Kelsea Ballerini – or a different artist – I hope my roundup of pictures and inspo gives you some country concert outfit ideas!

My Recent Concert Looks

I go to a lot of concerts so I’ve acquired quite the glitzy wardrobe over the years! A lot of the time, I can re-wear items to other concerts or trips so I find looking at old pictures and outfits to be very inspiring when I have a concert coming up. Clearly, I buy a lot of silver and black items! This actually works out quite well for me though because I can really interchange and mix up a lot of items to create new looks.

Understanding Kelsea Ballerini’s Style on the Patterns Tour

We love a concert and we love a theme! Dressing the part when you go to a concert is all part of the fun and for the Patterns Tour fashion, the theme is definitely glitter. Kelsea’s country chic to modern glam fashion evolution is very evident in this tour’s theme. Her tour aesthetics is all things glitter and glam and I loved every bit of it. The glittery theme really connects with the patterns, colors and vibe of the whole concert. Glitter concert outfits is just so fun and I was really eager to mirror the Kelsea Ballerini style.

Top Country Concert Outfit Ideas Inspired by Kelsea Ballerini

I went through my closet in search of glitter concert outfit ideas. I pulled out lots of items – sequin shorts, a western belt, a glitter bodysuit – anything that inspired me. I also did some shopping online for a sequin dress and glittery set just to see if I liked those options too! There a few ways to go about picking Kelsea Ballerini tour outfits, and these general ideas felt like the most stylish and fun.

After looking through my options, I knew I’d need a jacket because winter in Chicago is COLD. I was also really enjoying the knee high boots and tights look. I just couldn’t decide between shorts, a skirt, or dress!

Outfit Idea 1: Sequin Dress + Leather Jacket + Cowboy Boots

An over-sized leather jacket with a cute little dress and tall boots felt so fun and perfect for the patterns tour. This option was my top choice because I had all of the items except I wanted a new sequin dress! I ordered black and silver to see what I liked most. These dresses from Princess Polly were the perfect length for me – I’m 5 foot – so if you’re shorter like me, you might want to try them out. I also added tights for an extra layer of warmth but if you’re going to see her in the summer, it might be too warm for this added layer.

Outfit Idea 2: Sequin Shorts + Simple Bodysuit

This look is very bold and fun – plus how many places can you wear glittery short shorts? These bottoms are so bold already, you don’t need to pair it with anything too crazy. I styled it with a simple long sleeve bodysuit from Amazon, but you could also wear something less warm with it if you’re attending a summer concert. I would’ve worn this with an over-sized jacket as well. I reached the same dilemma yet again – silver or black?

Outfit Idea 3: Metallic Mini Skirt + Black Top

This metallic skirt is a fun glitzy option with a little less sparkle than the others. This option works well with a lot of tops but I tried a bandana top with sequin details and a simple bodysuit. While I liked these options, I was leaning towards the sequin dress or skirt at this point.

Outfit Idea 4: Glitter Denim Jacket + Sequined Boots

This option is so sparkly and fun – perfect for country fans. You could pair this look with jeans or a dress! Fun accessories like a hair bow is always a fun touch too. Amazon has the cutest pair of tall glittery cowgirl boots.

Outfit Idea 5: Metallic Fringe Top + High-Waisted Shorts

This look combines country flair with a touch of glam and I’m all here for it. You could add a cowgirl hat for extra flair or even glittering earrings and layered necklaces. This look is a little more spring/summery than the other options but you could still layer this look if you need to.

Outfit Idea 6: Glittery Bodysuit + Western Belt

Bold, sparkly and concert-ready. This is such a girly country moment and it’d be so cute with my heart shaped western belt. I would add cowboy boots or studded heels with this look, and definitely an over-sized leather jacket if you’re going in the colder months. This look definitely channels Kelsea’s bold, confident energy.

Outfit Idea 7: Sparkly Sequin Skirt + Crop Top

This is a very feminine, flirty and fun look. A little sparkly sequin skirt with a crop top is so simple but fun. You could wear just a solid colored crop top or one with simple text that has a lyric, her album, or something else related. You could pair this look with casual country-inspired footwear like country boots. This is a summery look, perfect for making a statement at the concert. But you can still add a jacket if you need to!

These are the options I considered for Kelsea Ballerini’s concert:

I actually wore this look on the left to a Megan Moroney concert recently, and this glittery set on the right felt better suited for a dinner while I’m in Chicago.

What I Wore to Kelsea Ballerini’s Pattern Tour:

There were so many fun Patterns Tour concert looks, but I went with the first option! I loved the all black moment and it was perfect for the Kelsea Ballerini show. I’ll definitely be using one of the other glitter outfits for country concerts in the future!

How to Incorporate Glitter Into Your Concert Wardrobe

Don’t Overdo It:

Balancing glitter with subtle country elements is what it’s all about! Typically, your outfit only needs one big sparkly element. For example, the glittery star of the show could be your dress, your cowboy boots, your shorts, etc. But you shouldn’t have competing glitter – such as a black sequin top with a silver sequin skirt. However, if it’s a sequin matching set, they can definitely be worn together!

You can add additional sparkle through jewelry, hair gems, bows, etc. As long as they’re more subtle.

Pairing Glitter with Denim:

Combining traditional country elements like denim with modern glam is a perfect take for a country concert like this. If you’re feeling a little unsure about how to wear glitter and intertwine it with your country concert style, the pictures and ideas above should help a little!

Accessories that Pop:

Glitter accessories are just the cherry on top when putting together sparkling country outfits. You can try glitter boots, statement earrings, and sparkly bags. Even hair jewels and hair accessories can make all the difference!

Fun Style Inspiration:

What To Wear To Stay Comfortable During a Kelsea Ballerini Concert

Footwear Tips

Concerts are long and comfort is key! Sneakers and cowboy boots are typically quite comfortable options – however, if you haven’t broken the boots in yet, be sure to wear thick socks or bandages to prevent blisters. You can also wear wedge heels or a lower heel if you’d like, but I’d leave the tall heels at home! You could always take pictures at home in less sensible heels too hehe. If it’s a really hot summer night, I recommend bring flip flops or flats in your purse too! Amazon sells foldable purse flats linked here.

Laying for Comfort

Depending on what time of year it is when you’re attending a concert, you should plan on the weather – especially if it’s an outdoor venue. For example, I just went to the concert in Chicago in January, so I wore tights, an oversized jacket, tall boots, and thicker socks for warmth! Even though it was indoors, I knew I couldn’t wear just a strapless dress to the concert. The layers definitely helped keep me warm going to and from the show! I almost wore a cardigan under the jacket for another layer of warmth but I was warm enough without it. I wore simple tights, but you could even wear thermal tights!

Staying Cool

Sometimes concerts get very hot – especially if you’re attending a summer show or in the pit section of a venue. I’ve been to a couple of really hot outdoor shows, specifically Taylor Swift in LA. My best advice would be to hydrate before and during, bring a handheld fan, and hair tie or hair clip if your hair adds excess heat to the equation! If you’re wearing cowboy boots, I recommend bringing flip flops to change into – if you have assigned seats. I did this once and it was so worth it!

In conclusion, there are so many Kelsea Ballerini concert outfit possibilities and it’s so fun to wear glittery things! You can truly express yourself and try new things when putting together glittery concert outfits. I can’t wait to see what you put together for your Patterns Tour concert looks!
