What do you Wear to the California Mid-State Fair?


The Mid-State Fair environment is a unique blend of local Paso Robles culture and California living packed into 12 days of awesome events. There are games, rides, unique foods and drinks, and showcase concerts every day.


This means your California Mid-State Fair outfits need to be comfy, versatile, and the cutest items in your wardrobe. Difficult - but doable without planning. If you want to make life easier and have more time for enjoying the fair though, it’s time to be a little strategic about what to wear in Paso Robles weather.


How to Dress for Summer in Paso Robles 


It would be simple to just say that the weather in Paso is HOT in July and leave it at that - but we’re here for cute outfits, not a weather advisory.


Not only that, San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast in general have very dynamic temperatures during the day, and it can get windy at night - so you need to plan accordingly.


The basic go-to for women’s fashion at the Mid-State Fair in 2023 is jeans and a tee - and we’re all about it. Simple, sexy, and ready for the weather.


Our favorite jeans right now are the Bleach Splash Button Fly Destroyed Skinny Jeans available at Opulence Boutique in San Luis Obispo. They’re simple, yet unique and made to be the base of a variety of outfits.


Pair them with something like this Nashville Music City Graphic Tee, and you have your first 2023 Mid-State Fair outfit covered!


But we all know that one basic outfit is not what we’re shooting for during Hot Girl Summer at the Mid-State Fair. We’re going for the Central Coast fashion trends that you can take wine tasting during the day and to a dive bar at night.


Women’s Fashion in San Luis Obispo County


San Luis Obispo County, Paso Robles, and the Mid-State Fair are home to what we like to call ‘Affordable Luxury’. These are the outfits that you can mix into a business casual day, but also if you want to add some accessories and nice heels, they make for a great wine-tasting outfit. Swap those heels for flats, and take in a concert at the MSF… and who knows after that?


If you want to shop Opulence’s Mid-State Fair collection in its entirety, you can find it here.


Warning: you might end up with too many awesome outfits - meaning you’ll have to go to the fair almost every day. Oh, no!
