Cowboy outfits do not only match those who are from the countryside or those who are into experimenting with their sense of style, this outfit can also match the eclectic and edgy hipsters. Western outfits can be revamped so that they will match the enclaves and the unique art of hipsters.
You can start off with a long-sleeved shirt made out of denim and slim-fitting pants. You can even add a twist to it by adding prints all over your outfit that symbolize the Old West, you can add on your hat or your pants and it is up to you where you want to position it. Either way, it will look amazing. For those who are looking for outfits that will match the hipster style, you don’t have to look much further.

You can search for outfits in shops like Rockmount and you can just purchase cowboy boots, a pair of faded or denim blue jeans, shirts with panels to give off an overall Western look, contrast piping, snap pockets, and embroidery that could match them all. The embroidery could be anything that gives off a Western feel.
Contemporary Cowgirl
You can also go straight to a couture cowgirl outfit and rock that chic Western dress if you do not wish to start off with a country cowgirl outfit. There are Western-inspired dresses, T-shirts with graphics, slim-fit ladies’ shirts that are button-up, and boho bags that are fringed. Couture or Contemporary cowgirl outfits give off a ready-to-wear look and makes you ready for the runway.
You can also add rhinestones and splatter them all over your outfit, or you can go with studs, Aztec prints, fringing, or whatever is the new trend. This is the opportunity to mix the old and the new.
The Working Class
For those who work in ranches or the countryside and are already rocking the Western look, you can still achieve fashionable and functional Western style. There are outfits that can be bought in stores like Wrangler and Dickies and they are all designed for heavy-duty movements and heavy usage.
Their fabric can withstand the changes in the weather and it is easy to clean, their rivets have stress points that do not hinder your movements, and them last all day long, so you can still wear them even after work. There are boots made by Justin and Ariat that are durable and are made for sensibility and style. Not only do they protect your feet all day, but they can also provide traction and stability.
For the Party Lovers
For those who frequent Western-themed parties, the first thing that you need to do is to raid your closet since most likely, everything that you need is already there. What you will need is a top that is button-down, and jeans that are made out of denim or you can also go with a denim skirt and leather cowboy boots and you’re good to go.
The next things that you would need to consider are the color and the patterns, plaid tops give off a Western feel, and colors like green, rust, brown, and anything of dark color gives off a Western vibe. Lastly, you can complete your Western outfit by throwing in some accessories like a bandana that you can tie around your wrist or neck or you can also use it as a headband. You can also accessorize your boots or your cowboy hat to add more color to your outfit.
