What to Wear in Nashville in Winter: 15 Perfect Outfit Ideas That’ll Keep You Chic & Cozy
So, you’re heading to Nashville in the winter? First off—lucky you. The food, the music, the energy… it’s unbeatable. But let’s talk real talk: Nashville winters are unpredictable. One minute you’re freezing your boots off, the next you’re sweating in your sweater while dancing to live music on Broadway.
That’s why packing (and styling) winter outfits for Nashville can feel like a whole fashion puzzle. You need looks that scream “cute tourist with great taste” but still keep you warm while wandering downtown or waiting in line for hot chicken.
The good news? With the right layering tricks and a little Nashville flair, you can pull together outfits that are stylish, comfy, and totally Instagram-worthy. Think cowboy boots meet cozy coats. Country-chic but make it fashion.
Here are 15 Nashville-approved winter outfits that’ll have you looking like you belong on stage at the Grand Ole Opry (without the stage fright).
1. Oversized Sweater + Skinny Jeans + Ankle Boots
Is it even winter if you’re not living in oversized knits? Nashville style is all about cozy-meets-cute, and an oversized sweater with skinny jeans is the uniform. Add ankle boots to give it that southern edge.
👉 Styling tip: Go for boots with a little western stitching if you want that subtle Nashville nod without going full rhinestone cowboy.
This look is perfect for casual brunches or walking around 12 South. Comfortable but chic.
2. Leather Jacket + Turtleneck + Black Jeans
If Broadway at night had a dress code, this would be it. A leather jacket layered over a fitted turtleneck and black jeans is effortlessly cool.
Add heeled boots or sleek sneakers and you’re giving “I’m here for the music, but I could also headline if needed.”
IMO, this is the look that makes you feel instantly confident—like, “yes bartender, I’ll take the mic.”
3. Midi Dress + Cowboy Boots + Fur Coat
Yes, Nashville in winter still calls for cowboy boots. The trick? Pair them with a long-sleeve midi dress and throw on a faux fur coat. It’s giving glam cowgirl, and honestly, it’s a vibe.
A little dramatic, sure. But Nashville is the land of sequins and stage lights—so why not?
4. Flannel Shirt + Puffer Vest + Jeans
If you’re exploring outdoors or doing a day trip, this combo is both warm and very “country casual.” A flannel shirtlayered under a puffer vest with jeans is peak cozy.
Finish with hiking boots or chunky sneakers. You’ll look like you’re straight out of a winter coffee commercial—but make it Nashville.
5. Sequin Top + Leather Pants + Blazer
Okay, listen—Nashville loves a little sparkle. A sequin top with leather pants and a tailored blazer is your go-to for a night out downtown.
Add pointy-toe boots or heels and you’re ready to dance all night. Because if you’re not shining under the neon lights, are you even in Nashville?
6. Cozy Cardigan + Slip Dress + Tall Boots
Balance soft with structured by layering a chunky cardigan over a slip dress. Add tall boots (flat or heeled) and suddenly you’re serving effortless Nashville chic.
This is perfect for dinner in The Gulch or strolling around boutique shops. Warm, stylish, and not too try-hard.
7. Plaid Skirt + Tights + Wool Coat
Nashville loves a little southern prep. A plaid skirt layered with opaque tights and topped with a wool coat feels polished but playful.
Pair it with loafers or ankle boots, and you’re giving “holiday card but make it cool.”
8. Longline Coat + Wide-Leg Jeans + Turtleneck
Nothing says stylish winter layering like a longline coat over a turtleneck and wide-leg jeans. Add chunky boots or sneakers to keep it casual.
This look works for sightseeing, coffee shops, and yes—photos in front of those famous Nashville murals.
9. Sweater Dress + Belt + Knee-High Boots
The sweater dress is basically winter’s answer to “I don’t know what to wear.” Add a belt at the waist and knee-high boots, and suddenly it looks like you planned your outfit.
Warm, comfy, and Instagram-ready. That’s the Nashville trifecta.
10. Denim Jacket + Hoodie + Leggings
For days when you’re keeping it casual, a denim jacket layered over a hoodie with leggings and sneakers is the move.
It’s giving laid-back street style while still keeping you warm. Perfect for exploring daytime markets or grabbing coffee.
11. Velvet Top + Black Skirt + Heeled Booties
Velvet in winter? Yes, please. Pair a velvet blouse with a black mini skirt (tights optional) and heeled booties.
The textures scream festive without looking over the top. This outfit works great for dinner out or catching live music at a cozy venue.
12. Trench Coat + Sweater + Straight-Leg Jeans
If you’re aiming for “classic with a Nashville twist,” go with a trench coat, crewneck sweater, and straight-leg jeans.
It’s one of those outfits that works day to night—and feels timeless. Add sneakers for daytime or ankle boots for evening.
13. Chunky Knit + Maxi Skirt + Combat Boots
Mix cozy with edgy by pairing a chunky knit sweater with a flowy maxi skirt and combat boots.
The skirt adds drama, while the boots keep it grounded (and practical for those uneven Nashville sidewalks).
This look is secretly super comfy, but everyone will think you spent hours planning it.
14. Puffer Coat + Beanie + Sneakers
Sometimes you just need to be warm. A puffer coat with a beanie and cool sneakers is practical but still stylish if you pick good colors.
Think sleek black or beige puffers, not the kind that makes you look like a marshmallow. Unless that’s the vibe—then go for it.
15. Statement Coat + All-Black Base
If you want to turn heads, this is the outfit. Start with an all-black base (turtleneck, jeans, boots), then throw on a statement coat—bright red, plaid, or patterned faux fur.
Instant drama. Instant chic. Nashville will notice.
Final Thoughts
So, what’s the takeaway? Nashville winter outfits are all about layering, comfort, and a little bit of sparkle. You don’t need to sacrifice warmth to look stylish, and you don’t need a cowboy hat to “fit in” (unless you want to, of course).
The magic combo is simple: cozy basics + a touch of Nashville flair. Whether it’s cowboy boots, sequins, or just a great coat, you’ll look perfectly on-theme without looking like you tried too hard.
Now, the real question—are you packing the sequin top or the oversized sweater first?
