Montana might have a little breeze now and then, but most days are full of sunshine. With nothing but fresh air and jaw-dropping views, you need to match the same energy with your suitcase! When I assembled my Montana outfits, I packed for what I had planned: laid-back nature walks, afternoons on the lake, country concerts, small-town exploring, and, of course, a rodeo or two!
That means I wore lots of flowy skirts, cute boots, light layers for easy versatility, and a few western-inspired pieces that matched various styles effortlessly. But honestly, these Montana outfits are perfect no matter what your itinerary looks like. Whether you’re going horseback riding or on a local shopping spree, there’s an outfit here for every occasion.
And even better? Each outfit is cute, affordable, and practical—you’ll find yourself wearing each piece on repeat. Ready to elevate your vacation wardrobe and make packing easier? Let’s dive in!

Montana Outfits: Cute & Practical Outfits for Your Trip
For Montana style, you’ll really want to focus on easy layers and lightweight fabrics. And when you don’t play with color, play with different shapes or textures! Flowy maxi skirts, ruffle skorts, and soft knits pair effortlessly with denim or sleek crop tanks.
I’ve featured a few pairs of boots in this travel style guide, but you can easily bring one or two pairs—one ankle and one knee-high—to work with nearly every look. (Trust me, your suitcase will thank you later!). The ultimate goal? To look cute and feel great.

What to Wear in Montana
Light, Layered and Low-Key
If there’s one thing I’ll never get tired of, it’s a throw-on-and-go outfit. These are both pieces that you can toss on, easily style with a few accessories, and head out the door.
The top is a crochet material, but it’s extremely lightweight and breathable. You won’t have to worry about wearing it out in the Montana heat and feeling overwhelmed with fabric. And of course, denim shorts go with literally everything. I finished the look off with a pair of timeless brown boots, but honestly, any pair would do.
Laid-Back Layers and Elevated Detail
There’s nothing a little denim and maxi skirt combo can’t fix, no matter where you are! I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, you will never catch me skipping out on a good maxi skirt deal. They’re fun, versatile, and sure to elevate any look.
I’m also obsessed with the way that the halter gently flares, adding some extra dimension without sacrificing structure. I completed the look with a cute pair of quilted sandals, but you can wear anything from sneakers to heels and still look amazing.
Rodeo-Ready with Effortless Western Details
If you’re in Montana, especially for a country concert, this outfit has just the right balance of classic cowgirl and edge. The soft square neck tank is a travel staple—it’s fitted, flattering, and perfect for tucking into a cute high-waisted side slit denim mini skort.
Both pieces are versatile, making it easy to mix and match them to create several different looks with other pieces throughout your trip. The embroidered cowboy boots are the real star of the show, being equally cute and comfy! I added a fringe crossbody bag and metal concho chain belt to pull in all the western feels.
Want an extra style tip? If you are headed out for a country concert, accessorize with a cute cowboy hat. Bonus points if it has rhinestones (like the one I linked to) or some sort of embellishment to match your belt.
Country Charm Fit for a Farmer’s Market
I’m obsessed with how this duo balances bold and romantic. This strapless denim corset top adds a little structure, while the flowy chiffon pleated A-line maxi skirt creates a breezy silhouette. This look creates that perfect twirl-friendly Montana outfit that’s easy to move in.
To finish the look, I paired it with my favorite Free People western boots—they really are as good as everyone says. I know that they are a little pricier, but they’re worth it. And, that’s coming from ME, the one who loves (and will always recommend) a steal deal. So yeah, you need (and deserve) them.
Cute, Trendy, and Made for Dancing
This easy Montana Outfit is made for a country concert. The sheer lace mock top is a versatile piece that can pair with many looks, and layers well over a cute bralette. And for a last-minute pairing, comfy denim shorts will do just the trick!
If you’re creating a monochrome look, again, don’t be afraid to play with textures! It’s the secret ingredient for a visually appealing and eye-catching outfit. The boots I’m wearing in this picture have since sold out, but you can shop here for a near-identical pair. They effortlessly elevate the look and pull everything together with a fun, western vintage flair.
Femme and Flowy Layers
When I’m planning Montana outfits, layers and lace are key ingredients. I started this simple romantic look with a soft white cami mini dress. And let me tell you, it’s an absolute suitcase must-have since it’s super lightweight and comfy—perfect for hot and humid Montana nights.
Over top, I added a gorgeous white lace cover-up with delicate floral embroidery that practically floats as you walk. And yes, I said cover-up—you’d never know! That’s what makes fashion so fun. To amp up the country vibes, you can walk for hours in these chic and sturdy knee-high cowboy boots without killing your feet!
Montana Meets Cottagecore Vibes
Maxi skirts are flattering on anyone and everyone, and I’ll always stand by that. I’m also obsessed with pieces that feature a soft, feminine floral print—not too in-your-face but also not that barely-there pattern. This skirt gets some extra love for that double lining—it’s not sheer even in bright lighting.
It flows beautifully, whether you’re picking wildflowers or strolling to a cute café. The shirt I’m wearing has since sold out, but you can shop here for a super similar style. I love how the puff-sleeve detail balances the entire look with the perfect amount of structure.
BTW, this is also the perfect rodeo outfit! If this outing is on your itinerary and you need some stylish inspo, make sure to check out my post, “Rodeo Outfits from Amazon.”
Sunny Days with Soft Neutrals
The soft white square-neck tank is a wardrobe must. What doesn’t it go with, right? I tucked into a flowy tiered maxi skirt that swishes with every step. Oh, and did I mention that it has pockets?! As if it couldn’t get any better.
I grabbed my natural raffia platform sandals for some easy lift and a roomy woven tote that can fit all the essentials. This comfy Montana outfit can be worn all day and still look cute when the photo ops hit. It was perfect for strolling downtown.
Knits That Keep it Cool (Literally)
Causal and cozy outfits deserve love, too! I’m obsessed with how this affordable sweater short set looks chic and styled but feels like pajamas. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn it out for brunch one day, and then on my couch binge-watching my favorite show the next.
The side slits on the top create a flattering shape and the ribbed texture of this stretchy knit set is lightweight and breathable. With some comfy slip-on cork sandals that look like birks and a pair of sunnies, you’ve got a cute and comfy Montana outfit that’s perfect for morning strolls. (Or just sipping your coffee and admiring the view! You’re on vacay—you make the rules.)
Sporty, Chic, and Simple
This black and white Montana outfit is made for moving. I paired a soft ruched backless tube top (it has a built-in bra!) with a bodycon athletic skort that gives tenniscore without the actual need for cardio.
The classic high-top Converse and trendy shoulder bag creates an equally sleek and casual look that’ll have you ready for long walks and sightseeing. Plus, you can add on a few accessories and a change of shoes to completely change the vibe of the look.
