"Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past several years, you probably know by now that we’re in the throes of a wave of Western fashion. Cowboy boots, “coastal cowgirl” TikTok trends—cowboy-inspired fashion has been taking over both streetwear and runways for several seasons now. Between the arrival of Beyonce’s eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, and those photos of Bella Hadid, it’s safe to say that cowboy-core is far from over—in fact, it may be only getting started.
While Western fashion is currently trending, many of the pieces that it incorporates are innately pretty classic. Denim, bold stitching, suede, and leather—they’re about as timeless as they come. As we gear up to listen to Texas Hold ‘Em on repeat, we’re prepared to enter our cowgirl era with reckless abandon. Here’s how to nail the trend this season:
Western Fashion Trends to Try
Denim on Denim
A no-fail way to capture the very essence of Western fashion? Denim-on-denim. With top options like button-ups, corsets, and vests, a Canadian tuxedo is a way to have fun and inject your personality into your style. Finish your look off with a Western-inspired belt or boots to amp up the cowboy-core even higher.
Lots of Fringe
It’s official: Fringe has entered the scene. The detail was seen all over street style shots from last month’s New York Fashion Week, and it’s hard to resist the playful, flouncy vibe that it captures. Suede fringe details on jackets, tops, and bags give a chic, modern take on Western dressing.
Studded Details
With the rise—and subsequent sell-out–of the Khaite Benny Belt, it became clear that studs are going to be an inescapable micro-trend of 2024. Opting for a studded or grommet-adorned accessory is an easy way to inject a bit of Western wear into your existing wardrobe.
