Cowboy Western Wear - What You Should Know!

Living in a place like Dallas or Houston affords for some great fashion looks. Just walking down the street in one of these southern cities gives you a glimpse into real cowboy western wear. Leather boots, blue jeans and ten-gallon hats dot the landscape in Texas. If you love the look but you live farther north, you might think dressing like a cowboy or cowgirl is off limits. That’s really not the case as anyone can pull of the western wear look with the right clothes.

The staple of any look like this is the blue jeans. Most of us have at least one pair of jeans we absolutely adore. For the cowboy western wear look, you need a pair that is going to fit either over or in a pair of cowboy boots. Darker denim is better and back pockets are really a must. A leather belt also adds to the look and provides a nice accessory piece regardless of gender.

Even though a belt is enough for most outfits, there’s another dimension to wearing one with cowboy gear. The belt buckle is as much a part of the finished look as the jeans are. You should choose a western themed buckle that is small enough that it won’t pinch your stomach when you sit, but is big enough to be noticed. Having a few buckles on hand adds to the variety of your look.

Boots are always something a real cowboy wears. Most cowboys cover their boots with their jeans, but that’s not always the case with cowgirls. For a woman wanting to incorporate the cowboy western wear look into her wardrobe, the design on the boot should be carefully considered. Go shopping at a western wear store and try on a selection of different boots. If you can’t find a pair you like, inquire about having them custom made. You’d be surprised by how reasonable the cost is and a pair made just for you are going to fit and look fantastic.

Next is the shirt. If you are going for a traditional look, a plaid shirt fits the bill. The color scheme isn’t as important as the fit. You want it to fit properly across the shoulders as well as over the chest. For men, leaving a button or two open of their cowboy western wear shirt is preferable. Also, tuck your shirt in when you are getting dressed because you want to show-off that belt buckle you bought.

Last but obviously not least is the hat. What would a cowboy be without their hat? There are many different styles and types of cowboy hats available. The key to finding the right one is the size. You don’t want one that is too big or too small. If you visit a cowboy western wear store, they’ll measure your head and help you pick out a hat that is perfect for you. Once you do that your new look will be complete and you’ll be ready to wow the world.
