Western Wear Must-Haves

Western-inspired trends ride in and out of fashion every few seasons, but lately it feels like we've reached peak #rodeocore. Between Beyoncé and the Beyhive's shimmering disco cowboy hats, Yellowstone fans' sartorial tributes to Beth Dutton and The Eras Tour-bound Swifties in giddy-up boots and milky white Stetsons — both nods to the singer's country roots — this summer Western wear was everywhere.

Including the big screen. The trend got the Hollywood treatment in Barbie, which has stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling wandering Los Angeles in coordinating Western-cut ensembles complete with cowboy hats, screaming pink bandanas and, in Robbie's case, wingtip stilettos. Consider us influenced.

That said, in our daily, non-concert bound lives, we'll be leaving behind the statement hats and neckties. Instead we'll mix the latest batch of Western-inspired shirts, belts, dresses, denim and outerwear from street styler favorites like Isabel Marant, Khaite and Rag & Bone in with our regular fall wardrobe.

You'll be surprised at the impact swapping out just one fall basic for a reimagined heritage piece can have on your overall aesthetic. It's all of the fun without the full cowboy commitment.

Scroll down to see which key Western wear pieces we're buying and how we'll be styling them this fall.

Fringed Jackets

They'll keep you warm as the temperatures cool off and bring the drama. Cropped or longline, suede or faux leather, with fringe, there's always a lot going on so keep the rest of your look clean, as in high-rise jeans or a high-waisted A-line skirt.

High-cut, straight-legged or with a bit of flare, raw, rodeo-ready denim goes with just about anything. But we like it best with a collared shirt or distressed band tee.
