Love cowboy boots but not sure if you can pull them off in a stylish way? There’s no reason why the rustic leather boot has to be sidelined for the prairie fields or cattle ranches. With various design options from rhinestones to pops of color, the cowboy boot can be just as versatile as a pair of heels or fashion sneakers to make your dress shine. Here are three easy ways to take the cowboy trend onto the streets.
Get Flowery
Pair some brown cowboy boots with a flowery, loose dress. You can go casual or dressed up, but the boots add a delightful accent to your ensemble. Floral and a boho chic look pair well with the rustic look of cowboy boots.
If you prefer to keep it simple, opt for neutral colored dresses like white or tan. If you want to avoid a prairie girl look, pick solid colors like navy blue or dark green — something that will accentuate the boots you’re wearing. If you have bedazzled boots or a pop of color on them, a solid color will surely bring those out, like a bold red to brighten your face.
If you’re feeling adventurous, the sky’s the limit! Try a brighter colored dress or a two-piece ensemble. Play with patterns and fabric. Don’t forget proportions though. A hemline that’s above the knee is optimal but don’t go too short. If you like surprises, you can hide your boots under a maxi dress and no one would be the wiser.
Office Sleek
Sometimes we want to bring a little bit of our fun selves to the office. Unlike flats and heels, cowboy boots are an unconventional choice for the office, but with a bit of styling finesse, you’ll be able to bring a little bit of your quirky personality to work with you.
Pair brown or black cowboy boots, like these Ariat boots, with a clean, crisp shirt dress. Add some professional looking accessories, like a solid belt (matching your boot color) and a smart looking watch with a thick, robust wristband. Voila! Professional with a twist of personality.
Casual Elegance
Sometimes we just want both simplicity and fun. A simple black dress is simple enough, but with a pair of cowboy boots, you’ve taken the elegance up a notch. While your friends fuss over their outfits, you’ll win the day with the “I woke up like this” look.
You might be tempted to add even more accessories to your ensemble. Don’t! Since simplicity is the game here, avoid statement necklaces and bold purses. The boots are the main star, and if you keep it simple, you’ll turn heads in no time.
At first glance, cowboy boots may seem tricky to wear with anything but denim and flannel. However, a quick search for style trends reveals that this footwear can make a bold statement when worn with a variety of dress styles.
