Nashville Fashion: Bringing You The Scoop!
Our team is composed of lifelong residents of Nashville. Our newest member, Elia Esparza, spokesperson for Nashville Experience Tours, has been in the city for two years. She moved to Nashville to pursue singing and songwriting in our local scene. You may have seen her performing at vibey local spots like The Listening Room or Hampton Social. Elia embodies Nashville fashion from head to toe!
1. How would you describe Nashville style? What about it might surprise a first-time visitor?
While music holds our city together, Nashville style is where casual, glam, and Americana intersect. Wearing rhinestones on a night out isn’t unfamiliar here!
Most people may be shocked to realize you have the option of dressing up or down! Dinner and drinks can mean a band tee with flare jeans and Tecovas or a cocktail dress with heels if you’re feeling fancy! Nashville style brings new meaning to the phrase, “big city, small town.”
2. What is one style mistake not to make if you don't want to look like a tourist in Nashville?
Believe it or not, a cowboy hat! There’s a time and a place for it but wearing one everyday gives off tourist vibes.
3. Do you have any favorite shops in Nashville?
If you’re looking for a fanny pack, Stoney Clover Lane is a MUST! ABEDNEGO is great for classic styles and jewelry. If you’re looking for more elevated fashion and designer denim, try Emerson | Grace. My personal favorite is Hip Zipper Vintage in East Nashville! They’re my go-to for finding certain pieces!
Nashville Fashion Must Haves
1. Go-to pair of cowboy boots?
You shouldn’t pay more than $200 for a pair of boots down here! Nashville Boot Co. is a great place to shop for staple cowboy boots.
2. Go-to hat for your trip to Nashville?
Wide brim and trucker hats! Rustler Hat Co. is a great place to pop in for a custom wide brim hat for brunch or even a night out!
Magpies has a great collection of pastel trucker hats to add a pop of color to any casual outfit!
3. Go-to denim?
You can never go wrong with a classic denim jacket or flare jeans. Imogene and Willie are my go-to for denim in the city. My favorite pair from them is the super high rise catherine black selvage rinse.
4. One item to pack for every girls' trip?
Don’t forget your reusable water bottle or an umbrella! The weather in Nashville can change on a dime. Stay hydrated while you’re browsing through SoBro or having lunch in The Gulch.
5. What should be the top 5 fashion essentials when packing for a trip to Nashville?
Here’s my top five: Tecovas boots, Rustler hat, Your Best rhinestone belt, a Stoney Clover fanny pack, my white fringe denim jacket, and a few band tees!
And there you have it!
