Go West - How to Rock This Trend Without Looking Like a Cowboy

Form the fashion runways to the streets across the world, western style is coming back, and it is easy to understand why. The garments are rough, functional and feature a unique aesthetic. While bolo ties and fringed jackets may be too much for some, the following western garments give a simple attempt into the style.

Boots

One of the key elements of the western style is a high-quality leather boot. When you think about the West, you think about a land filled with hard workers, a place where dreams are made and lost daily. That is why western boots have a hearty construction and utilitarian to be both durable and versatile. Modern western boots have become more refined and high-end models made from luxurious leathers made the perfect option for a daily wear in an urban setting.

Shirts

While a wide-brim hat may not fit your aesthetic, a Western shirt allows you to incorporate the look into your wardrobe more subtly. Western shirts are usually made from cotton with long sleeves to protect the user from the dangers on the range - sun, sand, cranky heifers and thorny shrubs. The half button shirt model is an iconic and practical look for anyone looking to achieve the style. The brand Ringers Western provide a range of these shirts in a variety of colours. The Ringers Western shirts feature a relaxed loose fit and are made from super soft mid-weight cotton and are constructed to last whatever the conditions.

Denim Jeans

You can try the Western style in a pair of slacks, but it won't look right. Denim jeans have always served the westerns well - they are durable and they protect the user from the elements. Wrangles and Levi Strauss are the popular brands, but there are hundreds of varieties today to choose from.

Denim Jacket

Practical and functional, a denim jacket will last you a lifetime. And they get better as the colour fades and creases fray. In the cooler months, a denim jacket can be the perfect layer under your coat and in the not-so-cold days, they can be simply thrown over a T-shirt or a western shirt. While the designs of denim jackets are relatively similar, brands like to tweak colours and washes, putting out garments that range from faded and worn to incredibly saturated.

Belt

A best is a must-have accessory - never leave the house without one. It should be made from leather and all the better if it's anchored by an eye-catching large buckle.
