7 Ways To Rock Your Cowboy Boots This Summer

Let’s face it: the cowboy and western trends are here to stay. Thanks to several trends in recent seasons and several high-profile projects (ahem- Beyonce), it seems like everyone is looking for their inner cowgirl or cowboy. While there are plenty of ways to channel the Wild West in your wardrobe, the easiest and most stylish is undoubtedly the cowboy boot. The cowboy boot is the quintessential Western piece that can easily function outside the aesthetic. Whether you’re headed to a country concert or want to add something fun and quirky to your footwear rotation, you can’t go wrong with cowboy boots. Even though these boots have become a staple in recent seasons, knowing how to style them can still be challenging. Below are a few ways our favorite content creators and all-around fashion girlies have styled them, which have had us adding a pair to our cart.

With A Mini Dress

If you’re rocking a pair of cowboy boots this summer, you’ll need a matching mini dress to go along with them. A cute mini dress will add a feminine touch to your cowboy boots and let you fully show off your shoes. If you’re opting for a powerful pair of red cowboy boots, pick a softer color of dress that’ll make your shoes pop even more. For a sleeker look, choose a matching tone as your mini dress to ensure everything is cohesive and stylish.

Add A Blazer

Just because you’re wearing cowboy boots doesn’t mean you can’t rock a little business casual. If you’re not looking to dive into the Western trend, you can modernize your look with a simple blazer. Opt for a neutral blazer that matches the rest of your outfit, letting your boots do all the talking. If you’re headed into the office, opt for wide-leg trousers and a blazer for an office-ready outfit that won’t break the dress code. 

Moto-Cowgirl Chic

Just because you’re wearing a cowboy-inspired look doesn’t mean you can’t dabble in another aesthetic. Add an edgier and grungier piece, like a motorcycle jacket, to help balance the cowboy boots. If the weather is too warm, opt for another piece of grunge-like metal accessory or darker hues that will help add some rock-chic to your Western style. 

Classic Blue Jeans

Although we could examine every trend, there’s nothing more classic and safe than a pair of classic blue jeans. Whether straight or wide-leg jeans, the simple mix of denim with cowboy boots is a match that can’t be beaten. This pairing allows you to style your new boots easily and ensures a versatile base with almost any closet top.

Cozy Cardigan

Even with the temperatures rising, there are still some nights when you could use a lightweight sweater. For those summer nights when you need extra layers, opt for a cozy, chunky cardigan to make your cowboy boots feel more at home. Adding volume, texture, and layers to your look gives you a more well-rounded outfit formula that will keep you warm and stylish the entire season.

Maxi Skirt Freedom

Just as with denim jeans, the maxi skirt is another favorite for Western lovers. A flowy, lace midi or maxi skirt will pair perfectly with your cowboy boots, allowing you to show them off. Mixing a bohemian and western aesthetic, these two pieces are perfectly equipped to balance a rugged and feminine look. 

Pop of Country Color

While many items pair perfectly with cowboy boots, picking the right pair is also important. If you’re over the neutral and minimalist trend, opt for something more maximalist with a strong pop of color. While red is typically considered a bold and vibrant hue, it’s a typical tone for cowboy boots. Opt for something out of the box with a pink or blue that stands out.
