Cowboy boots, fringe jackets, and bell bottoms with belt buckles are making their way back into style! Don’t be afraid to jump on the western fashion train and try it out for yourself.
If you’re new to western wear and want to start experimenting with the style, perhaps start with a more modern approach. Continue reading about how four popular western chic accessories can elevate your western wardrobe.
Brown Leather Purses
Besides denim, brown leather is a western staple. You won’t go to a rodeo without seeing one. Once you have your outfit put together, you can put on your brown leather purse.

Fringe Earrings
Fringe earrings have been around for years now, and they’re not only for western wear. Choose a fringe color that matches or complements your outfit: ivory, beige, royal blue, turquoise, cherry red, and pastel pink are great options. They’re the ideal statement earring for your western wardrobe.
Dainty vs. Bold Necklaces
Each necklace creates a balance in the outfit. While you might think that necklaces don’t have a big impact, they’re essential to an outfit’s composition.
Various styles of necklaces go better with different types of western tops. Bold tops with intricate patterns may need only a dainty necklace that sits just below the collarbone. A solid-colored top with few details may need a bold statement necklace to spice up the look.
Cowgirl Hats
Are you ready for the finishing touch? A cowgirl doesn’t go anywhere without her hat! If you’re trying to add a more modern spin on a traditional western accessory, try out a sleek white cowgirl hat. Perhaps you can find one with some jewels or a small pop of color. White is traditionally a modern color that you won’t see in most cowgirl hats.

Think about if the texture of the hat meshes well with your overall outfit. A more rustic outfit will pair better with a straw and crochet hat, while modern western wear meshes well with a felt hat.
The key to creating the perfect western wardrobe is to find affordable clothing items that look expensive. All you need to do is to take your time when shopping and choose the right pieces. And you should always love every item you buy, whether it’s an accessory or clothing item.
When you know how to style your western clothing and accessories, you’ll instantly elevate your wardrobe and look like a million bucks!
