How to dress like a Cowgirl

Cowgirl aesthetics has been a thing in the western culture for generations, and it’s recently resurfaced on the fashion trend table. With this new trend, there are now more cowgirl outfit ideas than ever before!

Celebrities are not left out in this recent trend; the likes of Sydney Sweeney and Kendall Jenner were recently spotted sporting cowgirl outfits.

In this article, we’ll be discussing some innovative ideas for cowgirl outfits that will blend seamlessly into your wardrobe, while taking into consideration the different seasons of the year.

One good thing about this outfit style is that you can easily achieve it with just a few key pieces. But before we proceed into that, let’s take a look at what you should NOT wear as a modern day cowgirl.

What NOT to wear as a Cowgirl

If you want to effectively pull off the cowgirl look, here are a list of fashion items to avoid.

  • Avoid overly tight clothing. The whole idea of the cowboy/cowgirl vibe is firstly freedom of movement.
  • Avoid any clothing that is too girly or frilly.
  • Avoid casual fits such as ripped jeans or athleisure wear.
  • Avoid revealing clothes

Now that you’re familiar with what not to wear as a cowgirl, let’s move on to cowgirl outfit ideas.

There are a few stable pieces that must be a part of your outfit for it to give off the cowgirl vibes. Without them, your outfit would be considered a regular casual fit.

Let’s take a look at them.

Hats

This is the first, if not most important piece in the entire outfit. Aesthetics aside, these hats protect your face from the scorching sun, wind, and rain. They also symbolize strength and courage.

Although some make use of baseball hats, cowgirl hats pulls off the look better than baseball hats ever will, making you feel like a true cowgirl.

Boots

Cowgirl boots are another essential part of the cowgirl outfit.

For the longest time, these boots have been known to serve as protection for your feet and legs due to the work environment which is mostly stables.

However, as a modern-day cowgirl, who is probably just trying on this fit for the fun of it or because it’s trending, it’s also a beautiful accessory.

Cowgirl boots will elevate your outfit and give you the cowgirl vibe you’re looking for.

Flannel Shirts

Flannel shirts are yet another fashion piece you shouldn’t ignore when trying out cowgirl outfits. If this outfit style is your vibe and you want to keep it on for a while, then flannel shirts should be your bestie.

As a matter of fact, you should have them in different colors, don’t worry, there’s no such thing as ‘too much’ when it comes to flannel shirts.

Belts

Belts are another important part of the cowgirl outfit.

They play a big role in accessorizing your outfit. So, when shopping for your cowgirl fits, don’t forget to add a big bold belt (or two) to the list.

Cowgirl Outfit Ideas

Now I’d be classifying these outfits based on the time of the year, so you’d know which is weather appropriate at any given time.

Summer Cowgirl Outfit Ideas

Summer is the hottest season of the year and as such requires minimal clothing. It’s the season of the year you get to show more skin due to the hot weather.

Ensure you have your sunscreen and hat without you throughout the day to protect your skin from the harsh sunrays.

Here are some summer cowgirl outfit inspirations for you.

Spring Cowgirl Outfit Ideas

Even though the temperature may vary between balmy and frigid during spring, the weather is mostly warm and as such, lighter or more open outfits are encouraged.

For a spring cowgirl outfit inspo, grab a pair of denim jumpsuit, throw on your cowgirl hat and boots and you’re good to go!

Alternatively, try on a skirt and a top with the signature cowgirl hat, boots, and belt. I know revealing outfits are supposed to be a no-no over here but hey! this is the modernized version so why not.

Winter period is known to be precariously cold. It is the coldest season of the year, so you’re advised to cover up properly during this season.
