Style Guide: What to Wear in Nashville in the Summer

July 20, 2020

This post about what to wear in Nashville in the summer contains affiliate links.

Nashville has 12 seasons

Winter, Fool’s Spring, Second Winter, Spring of Deception, Third Winter, The Pollening, Actual Spring, Summer, Hell’s Front Porch, False Fall, Second Summer, and Actual Fall. Nashville right now is on Hell’s Front Porch. It’s miserable just to step outside! I get asked a lot about what tourists should wear when visiting Music City. I have a few tips on how to dress like a Nashville local, but today am sharing what to wear in Nashville in the summer.

Style Guide: What to Wear in Nashville in the Summer

If You Can, Wear a Dress

Take it from me, denim shorts seem like a great idea but they’re not a good call. I live in loose, flows dresses this time of year because air circulates a little bit better and if you get a breeze, it’ll be nice and cool.

Wear Pieces That Are Loose and Comfortable

There’s nothing worse than wearing a skin-tight dress when it’s 90+ degrees and the dress showing sweat. Keep it as loose and comfortable as possible!

Wear Lighter Colors

I wear black a lot during the summer because it doesn’t show sweat but wearing lighter colors is cooler. And wear lighter fabrics like linen!

Wear A Hat

I’m a big hat person (as we all know) during the summer, I live in boater hats. They’re a lighter material than my felt hats and help hide my face from the sun.

In conclusion...

If there's anything I recommend it's to bring simple, lightweight dresses and accessories with straw hats and jewelry. If your feet swell in the heat, then loose sandals are great but if you're doing a lot of walking around, then tennis shoes are your best bet!

What's most important is to have fun on your trip! Drink lots of water, apply sunscreen, and seek the shade. Nashville is hot right now but there are lots of great places to eat, drink, and enjoy the city!

    All I seem to be able to wear are dresses or something loose fitting. Hell’s front porch also reaches all the way here to TX unfortunately.
