Western Fashion: A 2023 Trend

Not until a few weeks ago did I recently hear of this year's spring and summer trend. It's all about the western looks. Referred to as the "Coastal Cowgirl," this trend is currently on the rise. It's all I hear about now at school, on TikTok, at work, you name it. While I was unsure at first, it is starting to grow on me the more I see people sharing about it. This new trend is a fun mix of two different styles! We are all about the cowgirl boots and wearing them with as many outfits as possible. This "Coastal Cowgirl" aesthetic lives for the boots, the neutrals, and the lightweight fabrics to achieve a breezy, simple western feel. 

Many girls are basing their outfits on this growing trend. Its popularity is rising and doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. You might wonder- How do we achieve this aesthetic? The answer is simple. You need a few basic pieces, put them together, and you have created the look. 

First, as mentioned, if you don't own a pair of cowgirl boots, now is the time to do so. This will be an investment you can wear for a long time. The boots go with numerous styles and occasions, especially in neutral colors. Second, lightweight items. This includes thinner sweaters with crochet trims, midi dresses of floral, gingham, or ruffled patterns, linens, and basics like tank tops. Third, accessories of western hats and belts, beachy bracelets and necklaces, and sunglasses to keep you shining under the sun. For a bonus, add denim into your outfit. This can be a denim midi skirt, denim vest, denim jacket, or even a denim handbag. Either option you choose will really bring the style to life!

Go ahead and give the "Coastal Cowgirl" trend a try! We're about to see a lot of this with the upcoming spring and summer seasons. It's a fun take on the western style everyone seems to love. Plus, it's another great excuse to add a new pair of cowgirl boots to your closet!
