From Cowgirl Hats to Cow Print, the Wild West Is Taking Over Our Closets
Beyonce called it: get ready to saddle-up with this trendy Western-inspired fashion.
The Western trend has been circulating in fashion since 2017, with collections from Anna Sui, Coach, and Rodarte featuring Nudie suit-inspired details. Then, Calvin Klein presented a color-blocked version of the cowboy look for Spring/Summer 2018. The following year, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" brought the country spirit into the mainstream, and his infectious Western rap was at the top of the charts. Since then, the cowboy trend has been in full-force, from Kim Kardashian wearing chaps to Lil Nax X's hot pink cowboy look for the 2020 Grammys. Plus, more recently, Beyoncé has fully embraced the Western fashion trend. She even has an album called Cowboy Carter coming out on March 29.
Fringe details, black and brown cow print, colorful prairie dresses, and pointy boots are all distinctive features that characterize the essence of Western style. Unsurprisingly, the Internet has been obsessing over cowboy-inspired style, as designers and brands have brought back classical Western elements into the fashion world by giving them a modern touch with new leathers, suedes, and refreshed silhouettes.
Get ready to giddy-up on this trend with these Western-inspired looks and pieces.
