Belted linen dress with ruffled hem

Wearing a linen dress with a ruffled hem perfectly embodies the Western trend. It combines rustic charm with feminine flair, channeling Western vibes through natural textures, a defined waist cinched with a belt, and playful ruffles reminiscent of prairie-style fashion.

Flannel button shirt and denim shorts

For a more classic interpretation of the Western trend, try a flannel button shirt paired with denim shorts. The flannel shirt’s benefit is its durability, making it a wardrobe staple for many, and the denim shorts offer the physical benefit of being hard-wearing and easy to style. 

Ivory lace fit and flare short dress

There’s something about ivory lace fabric that’s reminiscent of vintage prairie dresses! Have this delicate fabric in a fit-and-flare short dress and you’ll see how it truly embraces the classic Western feel, while the lace details add a touch of romantic nostalgia.

Cowboy hat

What else is even more “Western” that the iconic cowboy hat? Even a simple button shirt and denim jeans ensemble can be put to the next level with the Western touch of this edgy, cowboy hat!

Fitted denim shirt and denim micro shorts

Another stylish Western-themed summer outfit would be a denim on denim ensemble. The rugged denim texture brings more depth to your Western outfit, especially if you accessorize it with a big buckle leather belt and cowboy hat.

Suede vest and fringe denim skirt

Another way to rock the Western trend this summer is by pairing a suede vest with a fringe denim skirt. The suede vest adds texture and depth to your outfit while giving you an hourglass figure, and the fringe skirt effectively injects a sense of fun and flair while displaying your legs.

Belted floral dress

Here’s another feminine take on the Western trend – the belted floral dress. The belt serves a purpose of cinching the waist, giving a flattering frame. The floral print adds a summer-like touch to the outfit, making it vibrant and season-appropriate. 

High-rise flared jeans

High-rise flared jeans have transcended seasons and generations – the high-rise design tucks in the waist, creating a pleasing silhouette, while the flare cut adds a fun and stylish twist to traditional jeans. They also elongate your legs, giving you a statuesque appearance.

Denim overalls and boots

The beauty of denim overalls lies in their advantage of using hard-wearing fabric that withstands daily wear and tear and frames the body in a flattering silhouette that enhances natural curves. Paired with boots, this outfit radiates a rugged vibe that’s perfect for a sunny summer day. 

Printed short sleeve blouse and skinny jeans

Don a Western trend ensemble by pairing your skinny jeans with a vibrant blouse that features a Southwestern-inspired pattern. The mix of structured jeans and a casual, printed top gives you that laid-back yet stylish aesthetic of Western fashion.

Classic white button down shirt

Neatness and refinement define a classic white button-down shirt; it’s a staple in the Western trend, this piece offers the physical benefit of a slimming effect, thanks to its structured, streamlined cut. Its crisp, clean aesthetic also adds a hint of freshness to any ensemble.

Denim vest and white denim skirt

A denim vest, with its sturdiness and structured design, provides an edge by giving an extra layer of warmth without sacrificing style. The white denim skirt creates an outfit that is casually chic and functional, while the skirt’s light hue and fitted cut enhance the body’s natural shape.

Statement buckle leather belt

Having a statement buckle leather belt is more than just owning a functional item; it’s a fashion statement. The buckle’s intricate designs and the belt’s rich, supple leather provide a tactile experience that’s visually appealing, and it also cinches the waist, creating an hourglass figure.

White ankle boots

Pretty much any flowy dress can have that Western touch if you pair it with stunning leather boots! To give the traditional brown leather cowboy boots a modern twist, try white ankle boots instead!

Sleeveless floral mini dress

Going for a sleeveless floral mini dress is a refreshing take on the Western trend. Its lightweight fabric is perfect for summer temperatures, its floral pattern adds a feminine touch, the sleeveless design allows for maximum movement, and the mini length showcases your legs.

Tie-front blouse and denim maxi skirt

The tie-front design of the blouse adds a fun, youthful twist to the traditional blouse, while the denim skirt provides a sturdy and durable option for your summer outings. The combination offers a well-balanced look that’s both stylish and practical. 

Knee-high leather boots

Go for a pair of knee-high leather boots and embrace the Western trend with their classic design and rugged feel, echoing cowboy style. Paired with a short floral dress, they simply add edge to your feminine outfit.

Suede fringe top

If you want to be a showstopper in the Western trend, wear a suede fringe top. With its soft, luxurious fabric, it offers a unique tactile experience that’s both comforting and indulgent, and the fringe adds a fun, dynamic element to the outfit, moving fluidly with your body. 

Kimono cardigan and fringe tall boots

One of the most distinctive features of the Western-style is its fusion of culture and tradition – a Kimono cardigan is the perfect blend of East meets West. The flowing silhouette of the exotic kimono cardigan offers a flattering fit, while the fringe boots add a playful element. 

Fringe bralette

A fringe bralette features The long, flowing tassels that hang from the bottom of a fringe bralette embody the Wild West’s iconic fringe detailing, which is why it’s a piece that truly speaks for the Western trend. Wear it with denim shorts and you’re ready to flaunt you Western look!

Stretchy denim skirt and knee-high brown boots

A stretchy denim skirt is not only comfortable but also wonderfully versatile; just pair it with knee-high brown boots for an effortless and chic look. The stretchy material of the skirt hugs your curves, outlining your figure, while the knee-high boots add height and elongate your legs.

Matching denim shirt and jeans

This is another way to flaunt a monochromatic look the Western way! Denim-on-denim is undeniably stylish and you can try opting for the same color or wash to give your overall look a more cohesive structure.

Mini denim skirt

Mini denim skirts are great for showcasing your legs and they also work so well with tall cowboy boots. You can wear it with a fitted tank top if you’re looking for a Western-style outfit for the warmer days by the end of the summer season.

Brown button shirt with rolled sleeves

Rolling up the sleeves of your shirt gives a Western-style rugged feel that can also add more depth and edge to your basic top. Plus, the soft brown color adds to the earthy look of your ensemble – goes very well with a cowboy hat, for sure!
