Cowboy Boots with Shorts and Tunic
Hilary Duff went casual but fashionable for a day out shopping in LA. She had her upper decently covered by wearing a green tunic top over shorts, which was good to not distract the eyes away from her boots and her legs. Maintain the vibe of your look through a printed shopper bag.
Cowboy Boots with a Sundress
Taylor Swift does a great job in changing her image from a dainty girly chic into an edgy rocker. But even before she posed for a big brand with her new personality, she already had that little edgy side. She´s spotted for how many times in a cowboy boots and she mostly wear it with a dress.
A pair of boots is capable of bringing a dress out of its elements. It creates a cowboy-meets-girl feel. Choose a sundress in a single solid color and with only very details. Your boots are already a statement so you need not a loud dress.

This is by far the easiest way to wear cowboy boots, to pair them with faded skinny jeans because you can quickly tuck in the jeans in yout boots. Alice Greczyn wore her printed and ultra-attention grabbing cowboy boots with a faded gray tight jeans and a simple black top. The idea is to showcase your cowboy boots by wearing them with some low-key pieces. You can also add a leather jacket and an oversized bag to tone down the county-appeal.
Cowboy boots with Tights and Tribal Print
Nicole Ritchie did a variation to her famous tribal-bohemian style by opting for this pair of patent cowboy boots. she paired it with a tribal print jumper layered over by a lavender long cardigan and, well, black tights.
Notice how the tights transition the prints to her boots. The rule of thumb in choosing the perfect cowboy boots for a tribal print is going for a plain, non-embellished pair of boots to tone down the print. In order to achieve a lengthen your legs, match the color of your tights to your cowboy boots. Mimic that casual Hollywood glam, add a fedora.
Few things to note about Cowboy Boots
- Create only casual looks – cowboy boots are meant to complete a chic and casual ensemble. Don´t wear it with a black evening gown. Taylor Swift may have gotten away wearing cowboys with a black mini evening wear to the red carpet, but it doesn´t mean it´s not a fashion faux pas.
- Don´t wear a costume – Avoid matching cowboy pieces, e.g. cowboy boots, cowboy hat and cowboy jumper. Use cowboy boots only to add county-chic and to accent a modern casual outfit.
So tell me girls, do you occasionally wear a county look? How do you style a pair of cowboy boots?
