BECOMING A COUNTRY GIRL
Country fashion is comfortable, neat and stylish all rolled into one. Add in country grace and manners, and it's a style many are opting to adopt, showing off openly their love of and pride for all things country.
Part1Getting the country fashion style
Part1
- 1Find some "country looking" clothes. Wearing denim (jean material) is always good and slightly loose jeans. Most importantly, country girls like looking casual and comfy, and they don't wear really tight clothing.
- Choose plaid shirts. These can be sourced from anywhere, such Walmart, online, etc.
- Wear plain colored shirts, or shirts with minimal designs. Country girls don't go "all out" with wacky patterns.
- Another country thing is clothing from brands such as Cavenders, Sheplers, Wrangler, Cabelas, Rowdy Bell Co and more
- 2Try to get a pair of hard sole shoes. For example: cowgirl boots, they are always nice to have and get a pair of rubber boots in case you want to work outside.
- Take your shoes off when you have a chance; bare feet are also acceptable for the country style.
- 3Get utilitarian gear. Every country guy or girl owns camo for hunting. She also owns a pair of good boots, either for riding, show, work, or hunting.
- 4Look for country brands. At your local western store, they'll have brands like Dixie Girls and Guy Harvey. Be sure to buy both casual and show clothes, style very being country too! Be sure to find your signature look. Also you can visit cabelas.com countrygirlstore.com drysdales.com cavenders.com for more clothing options.
- 5Choose suitable accessories. Country girls are actually very girlish. When accessorizing, choose shiny things. Pink is also okay.
- 6For girls, country girls usually wear minimal make-up. Some concealer, powder, blush, lip balm, and one to two coats of mascara (if you already have dark eye lashes, skip the eye liner) is the most you'll need. Cover up is okay too if you really need it. Don't overdo it, or else you'll look too preppy and people will think you're a poser.
Part2Being country
Part2
- 1Be proud to be a country girl. When people say, "I hate the country," don't get flustered or upset, but be friendly and act nice, so others would have nothing to hold against you.
- 2Be thoughtful, kind and pleasant towards others. Personality matters. You don't need to have an accent to be country, but you need to act like you're southern. Be happy/bubbly (even if you're having a bad day) and smile at everyone. Use southern hospitality, and plenty of niceness.
- 3Use your manners. Always say "please" and "thank you". Always say "yes ma'am" or "no ma'am".
- 4Reach out to others. Country girls have big hearts. They love volunteering and helping their community. And they love their country.
- Feed the homeless. Take along your home grown and baked produce.
Part3Pursuing country activities
Part3
- 1Learn the country music. Every country girl loves to listen to and play country music.First of all,learning to play the guitar is the right way to play country music.
- 2Pursue activities and sports that country girls usually like. These include watching and playing football, fishing, and Mudding. This doesn't mean they can't be girlish though! Girlishness actually complements your country girl attitude.
- 3If you're old enough to drive, a truck or Jeep Wrangler is the most "country you can get," "jackin" it up too (getting lifts). i.e. Ford F150, GMC Sierra, Chevy S10, Bronco, Blazer.
- 4If you're in high-school, take shop and/or agriculture and FFA is a good club to join too. Also, if you're not in high school(or just don't want to join high school clubs, check out girl scouts or a 4H club in your area)
- 5Country people are also hard workers and love to get dirty. Go outside and mow the lawn or help your dad on the car etc.
- 6Learn to cook. The kitchen is the most sacred place in the house. Country folks love to cook from fried food, smoked food, breakfast, and dessert.
Part4Compassionate country
Part4
- 1Learn to love animals. Just about every country girl loves horses. Dogs and cats make good pets, in pairs or threes. If you've lots of space, consider fostering animals too.
- 2Treat your man right. If you want to date a country man, make sure you treat him great and with respect. But don't be his doormat. Never take any crap from him, and make sure he treats you with just as much respect. If he doesn't, he's not worth a girl like you.
