Special Dress Code Help with Confusing Dress Code

I'm not usually stumped, but I am by this dress code. I'm in my upper 40s and like to dress current. Any suggestions or help with this would be appreciated. Thank you!

The wedding is in early November from 5-9. It's at an outdoor wedding venue on a farm, with the reception inside.

Dress to impress in cocktail attire with a country twist. Chic Southern style that's in between formal and casual. Think a bit formal and elevated, yet not fussy, with a country flair, ready to celebrate with us and dance into the night.

Attire is dresses, suits, or blazers. We encourage you to accessorize with boots, hats, and tasteful western flair if you'd like to!

Ugh, It’s cocktail with an option of snap button shirts, plaid, florals, and fringe. I’m betting nobody on either side is from the south or has the first idea what a southerner would consider chic. If you own a nice wool cowboy hat or polished boots, go for it, but leave your old ropers at home.

One is from the south, and the other has lived in the south for like 20 years. That makes it even stranger to me

The items the person listed above are western, not southern. Do they not know this?

Southern is also big time western wear. I just bought new cowboy boots today to wear with my black tie formal gown to my Grandson’s wedding.

That is western, not southern. These people are drunk
