Proof that Cowboy Boots Are a Total Closet Staple

The South has contributed a lot of very important trends to the rest of country. What would America be without fashion statements like big hair, denim cutoffs and, most importantly, cowboy boots? Take it from us; anyone can rock these boots no matter their age, style or home state. Here are some ways you can incorporate cowboy boots into your wardrobe:

1. Blue jeans

Classic blue jeans are the natural pairing to go with such a classic boot. A crisp white top and matching tote, plus a pair of aviators, go well with this simple ensemble.

2. Neutrals

An outfit made up of neutrals doesn’t have to be boring. With a peachy tan dress, brown boots and a straw hat, this look is both cute and effortless. The simple gold necklace adds a finishing touch.

3. All black everything

For the edgier city girls who want to try out cowboy boots, an all black outfit is a good way to incorporate your own style into this look. The fringe cowboy boots are very rock and roll, and take the focal point of this outfit.

4. Denim mini skirt

This ’70s-inspired outfit features a denim mini skirt and a white off-the-shoulder blouse. A dark cowboy boot with blue design compliments the denim skirt as well as the dark blue purse.

5. Casual chambray

Chambray and green cargo always make a great combination. The colors in the outfit coordinate with the designs on the boots. A brown hat adds an indie touch to this Southern look.

6. White dress

This look is what we like to call “downtown meets down south.” The white dress allows the turquoise cowboy boots and stacked rings to really take center stage here.

7. Flannel

An oversized flannel and boyfriend jeans pairing is begging for some refined pieces to balance the vibe out. Some short cowboy boots are a chic alternative to the standard options and a ribbon tied around your ponytail is an added girly touch.

8. Suede skirt

Everything is better in gold, and cowboy boots are no exception. This super glam pair goes really well with a simple outfit made up of a brown suede skirt and a white tank. Turquoise earrings add some more color to the look without competing with the gold boots.

9. Printed shorts

Mixing textures and prints is a fun way to wear unexpected pieces together. White cowboy boots feel very summery, so a printed pair of shorts like these create a great match. The suede tank is different, but in a neutral color and shape, it goes so well with the rest of the outfit.
