Western fashion trends have been taking over the runway in recent years with designers like Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Isabel Marant leading the way with overt western styling. While western clothing started out as strictly utilitarian for you know, actual cowboys, it’s become a mainstream way of dressing for everyday life and has infiltrated high fashion. While straw hats, bolo ties and country concerts may not be your thing, there are plenty of chic cowboy styles you can easily and effortlessly add to your everyday wardrobe. Here are some cowboy chic outfits to get in on the western runway trend and different ways to style western pieces with your favorite wardrobe staples.
DENIM JACKET
Wearing a denim jacket with jeans is such a classic look. But pairing a denim jacket with a frilly skirt and western boots is a chic pairing and way more unexpected. Adding a Dior saddle bag gives this look an extra western nod.
BLACK COWBOY BOOTS
Black cowboy boots (or cowgirl boots, if you prefer!) never have and never will go out of style! They are a classic pair of boots that look great with almost anything you style with it. Wear with jeans, a white button down shirt and a blazer for a super chic look.
COWBOY HAT
For an overt western vibe, add a classic cowboy hat to your everyday look. Whether you are heading to a music festival or just wandering the city streets it’s a chic way to participate in western style.
FRINGE JACKET
Add a leather or suede fringe jacket with denim and western-style boots for a cool take on western wear. This season there is no shortage of fringe and this Saint Laurent fringe leather jacket and this Isabel Marant brown suede style are two of my favorites.
WIDE-BRIMMED HAT
A wide-brimmed hat gives this all black look a cool city-meets-western vibe. Her fuzzy black trucker jacket is also denim-inspired lending an extra western touch to this look.
DENIM SKIRT
No western look is complete without denim and this denim midi skirt with a high slit is a sexy take on the style. Worn with knee-high textured boots, it’s a great way to add a little western flair to your look.
BOOTCUT JEANS
Bootcut jeans with western boots are the original and most classic cowboy look. And they are still a mainstay for any western style. Whether utilitarian or strictly fashion, this pairing will never go out of style. Tuck a denim shirt in and add a western belt for take your cowboy chic outfits to the next level.
LEATHER JACKET
A leather jacket is an essential piece for a chic everyday look. Add blue jeans and your favorite cowboy boots and you’ve got a chic western outfit without even trying.
DENIM SHORTS
This denim-on-denim look is chic, cool and classic all at the same time. Paired with a high pair of white boots and a bandana, her accessories take this look to a chic, western place.
OVERSIZED DENIM SHIRT
Cowboy chic outfits can be as easy as pairing two pieces together. Wear a denim shirt as a mini dress with knee-high black boots and you’ve got yourself an extremely sexy and cute western outfit.
DENIM JUMPSUIT
Western outfits can be as simple as a denim jumpsuit. This one looks chic in a dark rinse paired with simple brown suede western-style boots.
WESTERN BELTS
Belts with big belt buckles and western details have been one of the key pieces to a western style look. For a chic addition to your favorite classic denim jeans, wear a western style belt.
FLANNEL SHIRTS
Add plaid shirts to your outfit in a chic, unexpected way. I love how this look ties a flannel shirt around her waist to add color & a more playful pattern to her simple, western look. It ties her neutral color palette together perfectly.
