Rhinestone Cowboy
Glen Campbell not only made "rhinestone owboy" popular with his hit single back in the day, but he also made it a fashion trend. The sparkly cowboy suits with matching belts, hats and boots were quite popular among people like Johnny Cash and Gene Autry.
10-Gallon Hats
The 10-Gallon hat has been a necessity in the country world since the very beginning. George Strait won't even hit the stage without his, and Garth Brooks has even donned his on the red carpet!
The Man in Black
Johnny Cash made the "man in black" a look during his time in the industry, always wearing black-on-black attire. He even used that as the name of his album in 1971.
Rockabilly
Patsy Cline made this look one for the books, combining rock and roll with country into her on-stage fashion.
Embellished Belts
You'll rarely see a tried and true country singer—man or woman—without his or her statement piece: a gaudy belt. Trace Adkins is known to don a big ol' belt buckle, while Miranda Lambert wore a "Mrs. Shelton" belt for her "Little Red Wagon" music video.
Glitter & Big Hair
As Dolly Parton once famously said, "The higher the hair, the closer to God." The incredibly successful singer made the rhinestone cowgirls a thing with her over-the-top glittered looks and huge hair. To this day, she's renowned for the fashion she brought to country music.
Glitzy & Glamorous
Similar to Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn became known for her incredibly glamorous, princess-like gowns, which she's been wearing for decades, and she certainly needs to be commended for her dedication to the signature style.
Button Down Cowboy
Garth Brooks has made the button down, collared shirt and cowboy hat a statement at any of his concerts. Rarely is he seen performing in something other than his statement look!
Plaid Shirts
Whether you're an old-school cowboy like George Strait or a younger addition to the industry like Kip Moore, a plaid shirt is something you'll find in every country singer's closet. It's a staple piece!
Fashionably Country
Then there are those few cowboy rebels who sing country music, but don't dress like they do. Elvis Presley started the trend back in the day, donning more of a rocker look without the boots and hat. Today, Sam Hunt is all about making a fashion statement on stage with his skinny jeans and stylish tees.
Baseball Caps
While the 10-Gallon hats will forever remain a country music necessity, more and more singers have been donning baseball caps, too. Luke Bryan and Rodney Atkins are known for this.
Cut-Off Shirts
Just like baseball caps, cut-off shirts have become a newer fashion statement in country music. Kenny Chesney usually performs in a cut-off with a cowboy hat (or sometimes he just goes shirtless all together).
The All-American
Speaking of signature styles, Willie Nelson made the "all-American" look a big thing in the country world. From his braids to his bandannas, his rocker tees, sneakers and jeans, he definitely proved that not all country singers wear boots.
The Cowgirl Princess
Taylor Swift undoubtedly became the princess of country music when she joined the scene in 2006. Her go-to look of fairytale dresses accented with cowboy boots added to the title and turned the ensemble into a fashion trend among country music lovers!
Shania Twain's Daredevil Style
Some people created their own unique style. For example, the "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" singer became one of country's most rebellious ladies, pushing the boundaries with both her style of clothing and music that people now associate with her successful career.
Keith Urban's Hair
Remember when Keith Urban straightened and highlighted his hair, adding bangs and even a few layers? This cut didn't really go over all that well with country fans, but it did turn his look into a renowned style.
Faith Hill's Pixie Cut
The singer took the world by surprise when she cut off all her hair—in the best way possible. While country music was known for big curls and even bigger volume, Faith's pixie is now one of the most sought after hairstyles.
Carrie Underwood's Light-Up Dress
At the 2013 Grammy Awards, Carrie Underwood proved country music is just as performance-based as pop, rocking a light-up dress that featured digitized butterflies.
