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 western fashion resurgence. We’ve had the “coastal cowgirl” era, Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter, and Bella Hadid living out all of our dreams with her own cowboy. Between all of these things, it’s safe to say that cowboy-core is far from over. In fact, it may be only getting started.
Many of our favorite stores’ fall collections leaned heavily into the western fashion aesthetic. Abercrombie released an entire “Pretty Western” collection, and Madewell’s fall arrivals are full of suede, cow print, and fringe. While this could be considered a “trend,” 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. Below, check out our tips for trying out the western fashion trend this fall and shop our favorite pieces.
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 in 2023, it became clear that studs are going to be an inescapable trend. Opting for a studded or grommet-adorned accessory is an easy way to inject a bit of western wear into your existing wardrobe.
Western Fashion Pieces to Add to Your Fall Wardrobe
You don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe to try out the western fashion trend this fall. Chances are, you already have a few staples in your closet—think denim, suede, and rich earth tones. Once you have your base down, simply add in a statement piece. A studded belt, a flowy western dress, or a great pair of cowboy boots is the perfect touch to live out your cowgirl dreams.
