How to Look Country

People used to associate the country look or style with being poor or ignorant but not anymore. More young country singers on the scene have caused country music to experience a renaissance. People now consider country hip and fashionable.

Instructions

1. Buy a pair of blue jeans, boots and a cowboy hat. These are must-haves for a country look. Checkered shirts are also characteristic of a country look.

2. Dress up your outfit with a Southwestern belt and a buckle. You may wear the belt with jeans, a blue jean skirt or over a cotton, over-sized shirt.

3. Look for Southwestern, country jewelry. This includes silver earrings, bracelets and necklaces. You can often find these accessories at rodeos and fairs.

4. Make sure that your purse also has a touch of country. Look for leather purses with a small buckle or some sort of metal ornament. You can also pin a country broche to your purse to add detail.

5. Use rollers to give your hair volume. It's important to have big hair to look country. However, if you're doing work around the house or working outside, braid your hair and wear ribbon bows. This will give you a genuine country look.

6. Wear make-up. Besides your lipstick, blush and eye shadow, you need mascara to lengthen your eyelashes. Don't forget the eyeliner. It will make your eyes look larger and add definition.

7. Learn to dance country. This is a must for when you attend gatherings.
