Western Vibes
Western spirit, modern point of view — that's the mood this fall, and we're styling it three completely different ways. Think fringe and satin for evening, corduroy and snakeskin for rodeo-ready daytime, and denim-on-denim for something a little more laid-back. However you wear it, cowboy boots are non-negotiable this season.
Country Charm
For an evening take on western style, a rich brown satin fringe midi dress from Alice & Olivia does all the heavy lifting — dramatic, asymmetric, and finished with movement-catching fringe at the hem. Layer a soft cream cardigan from DÔEN over top for cooler nights, and finish with suede boots from Isabel Marant (available in a tan chain-detail ankle style or a classic brown cowboy silhouette). An embroidered butterfly clutch from Olivia Dar, a horseshoe pendant necklace from EF Collection, and beaded bracelets from Marit Rae round out the details.
Rodeo Ready
This look leans fully into western tradition, reimagined for daytime. A rust corduroy shirt dress from Veronica Beard is fitted and polished, paired with snake-print cowboy boots from Isabel Marant and a wide-brim black hat from Van Palma. Layer on a two-tone chain necklace from Romi, gold claw earrings and a sculptural cuff from Jenny Bird, and finish with a brown snake-print shoulder bag from Clare V — proof that "rodeo ready" can still feel polished.
Western Plains
For the most relaxed take on the trend, a classic denim shirt from TWP pairs with black wide-leg jeans from Nili Lotan for an easy denim-on-denim moment. A brown bandana scarf from Jumper 1234 adds a graphic finishing touch, while ribbed tanks from Citizens (in black or cream) work as an easy base layer underneath. A silver concho belt and leather clutch from Nili Lotan bring the western detailing home, and the boots do double duty here too — suede from Isabel Marant or sleek black leather from Zadig & Voltaire.
Why Western, Why Now
Western style has staying power because it's built on pieces that already feel like wardrobe staples — denim, suede, fringe, a great boot. This season's edit just leans into that DNA a little harder, whether you're going full fringe-and-satin for a night out or keeping it simple with denim and a great pair of boots.
