How To Incorporate Western Fashion In Your Wardrobe

In the last few seasons, western or cowboy fashion has seen increased resurgence. Cowboy boots and peasant blouses have become a staple on the fashion scene. Calvin Klein, under the helm of Raf Simons, redefined what it meant to dress like a cowboy or girl. When his first collection with the brand, which consisted of denim shirts with contrasting pocket flaps and $1,400 silver-toed cowboy boots, dropped, it immediately sold out. So, if you are looking to update your wardrobe and give it a fresh new twist, you might want to incorporate some yeehaw. If $1,400 boots aren’t your thing, there are plenty of different options for you- ranging from silver western buckles to printed silk scarves to cowgirl inspired dresses.

Here is a list of few items that you can add to your wardrobe to inject some spirit of the wild, wild West.

1. Cowboy boots:
Don’t worry, you do not have to spend thousands of dollars to look like you belong in a ranch in the West. There are many brands that offer affordable cowboy boots, and there is nothing like a good pair of boots to add some edge to your outfit.

2. Belts:
Belts are one of the most versatile accessories. You can always pair a good belt with a silver western buckle with pants, skirts and dresses for a western nod to your look.

3. Scarves:
Nothing screams western like a beautiful printed silk scarf wrapped around your neck. Adding a scarf to a monotonous outfit will also elevate the look and give it an interesting twist.

4. Denim:
Denim is a wardrobe staple for almost everyone. Similarly, it has also been a part of the cowboy culture for hundreds of years. To achieve the perfect cowboy look, invest in a good pair of western-styled denims. High-waisted flared denims with a pair of cowboy boots never fails. 

5. Bags:
Suede and faux leather bags with fringe detailing are all the rage among western fashion enthusiasts. They are not just easy to find but also affordable. Add such a bag to your look and seamlessly channel your inner cowgirl without being OTT.
