Q&A for How to Look and Act Country (For Girls)

Of course not! Every country girl is different, you can listen to whatever you like. It's important to be yourself no matter what.

There is no "one size fits all" type of country girl. Some like makeup and shopping, some don't. If you like those things, it's fine. Be yourself.

Spend time around southern people, and practice in your room. Sometimes you can sneak it in if you're out shopping or at a restaurant. You can talk to people you don't know or with people you feel comfortable with in a southern accent to see their reaction.

Many do, but it's not completely necessary. It's more important to have the cowgirl look, personality, manners, and hobbies.

Living on a farm is not necessary. Just do what you can and be yourself. Wearing jeans, camouflage, plain t-shirts, flannels, and boots can all help you pull off a country look. Participating in some of the sports country people enjoy, such as football, hunting, fishing, and mudding will help. If you are going to act country, you can't be afraid to get dirty and do some work.

Be yourself, your accent and citizenship do not matter. Follow the tips for dressing, and try some of the sports recommended. There is no country girl that is the same as another. Some adore camouflage, and some wear it when it is needed. Some do not listen to anything but country music, and some listen to all sorts of music. Just be yourself, and don't be afraid to work hard and get dirty.

You could do that, or you could wear a belt. Jeans are a good idea with plaid shirts.

Yes. They both love the outdoors, fishing, sports, getting dirty, etc. A lot of country girls are tomboys.

You can basically do anything with your hair, from a simple ponytail to braids, or even some cute waterfall curls. It's up to you and depends on the occasion or activity.

No, cowgirls come in all different shades and skin tones; a tan is not necessary.

Yes! You can wear any shirt you like. You could wear a camo hoodie or a soft brown leather jacket with tassels for special occasions! Remember turquoise jewelry and hats!

Remember you don't have to prove yourself to them if you know in your heart that you are country. But if you want to, invite them to a sleepover, or to hang out at your house and say, "Sorry I need you to hold on a bit, I need to do some chores before we talk." This way they might understand that you are a country girl. You don't have to fit the stereotypical "country girl" outfit to be a real farm girl!

Anything to get your hair out of your face. For a more stylish look, do a French braid. A quick hair fix is a ponytail or high bun.

I'm sorry to say this but you can't just "start being country". It is something you are either born into, or something you are subjected to. If you are going for just the style, then don't overdo it, it might make you look like a poser. Always be honest about your identity and don't call yourself a country girl if you are not one. For the stereotypical "country girl" look, you could wear any patterned shirt, but the colors should not be harsh. For that I suggest a flower shirt with lighter colors. For the pants, any blue denim jeans will work. And last but not least, the shoes. Cowgirls boots are amazing, but any sandals or sneakers should be okay.

Yes. Country girls can play any sport they like.

They can range from $2 to $20 at your local thrift store. You can also look into buying some used ones online.

Go to a local rodeo and learn how everything works. Volunteer at a farm or work at a local barn sanctuary or vet's office to learn about animals. Learn how to cook and bake. Being country is not about an accent and clothes. It's about being connected with the earth and going back to your roots.

Yes! Consider wearing pink flannel over a regular top. Wear boots with a higher heel, but don't be afraid to get messy!

You do not need an accent to be a country girl. Most Midwesterners don't have heavy accents. It's OK to move from the city to the south, but try not to fake an accent. You'll be seen as a poser. Just let the culture and traditions come to you. Don't force it.

that is perfectly fine! Some country girls do enjoy using makeup. Just make sure to take care of your skin and nails. You don't have to have a deep skincare routine. Just wash your face with warm water every night, and then rinse with cold water. Do the same in the morning. Consider using witch hazel toner on your face after washing it. Make sure to clean the dirt from your nails and trim them nicely.

No, you don't have to like it, but you may have to deal with it. Country living offers more opportunities to get dirty than city life does.

No, you can be a country girl wherever you live. Country girls are more common in southern states, but you can be anywhere and be a country girl.

No, you don't have to be straight to be a country girl. Your sexuality doesn't matter.

No. If you're not from the south, then you will most likely not have a country accent. You definitely don’t have to have an accent to be country. I’ve been listening to those folks all my life and do not have a country accent. It would seem tacky and weird if you have a country accent and you just started trying to be country. Southern folk will laugh at you if you try to fake an accent.

Mostly that is best for older folk. Maybe not your best friend, or mom, or grandma though. Call older folk at the grocery store or people you don’t know as well sir or ma’am.

A low pony tail with a trucker hat is a good idea. Consider straightening it and maybe doing a half up half down look.

Don’t wear a plaid shirt every day, and you don’t have to wear a belt with a big buckle. Just take some of the article's suggestions rather than all, and wear what you're comfortable in.

Of course you can. You can even be from the city but have love for the countryside. Take on hobbies that make you feel more connected to that lifestyle and hang out around this kind of people, and before you know it, you are living like a country gal! You don’t have to be born into it to be a part of it.
