Wear them with jeans
Our first top tip when it comes to how to style cowboy boots and what to wear with them is to keep it simple. When trying something new you can run the risk of overcomplicating things, so we suggest you start small by pairing your cowboy women’s boots with a pair of jeans.
Of course, you need to find the right pair of jeans that will compliment your cowboy boots and bring the whole look together. Boot-cut jeans were designed specifically to be worn over boots so these are the most obvious choice of jeans to wear with cowboy boots. Then simply add a flannel top and your casual cowboy boots look is good to go.
Create that festival look
If you’re heading to a festival then a pair of cowboy boots are a must-have pair of shoes. Not only do cowboy boots look the part when you’re loving life at a festival, but they’re also a really appropriate pair of shoes. Whether it is sunny or raining you will look great and keep your feet comfortable with a pair of cowboy boots on.
Wondering what to wear with cowboy boots to create that festival vibe? We would recommend going strong with one of our co-ord sets. Not only do they scream ‘festival wardrobe’ but they’ll keep you cool throughout those long days and nights of partying. Add a straw hat and you’re festival-ready.
Wear with a dress
As we mentioned earlier, cowboy boots are one of the most versatile types of footwear you can wear. So it is hardly surprising that a pair of cowboy boots will look great with a dress. Wearing a dress with cowboy boots is a great way to channel your inner bohemian spirit and is also a great look for a holiday or festival. A flowy dress, mid-calf boots, and a floppy hat paired with a fringed bag is the best way to create the perfect boho vibe.
Dress up with cowboy boots and a blazer
So far we have given a few more casual ways that you can style cowboy boots. But you can dress it up a bit by pairing them with a blazer. Yes, cowboy boots can be office-friendly too. So don’t worry if you have an important meeting coming up and you aren’t sure what to wear.
If you want to wear cowboy boots for a more formal occasion then we recommend a pair of sleek and sophisticated boots in black or brown as these are more neutral colours. Then simply add a pair of tailored trousers and a plain shirt with a blazer over the top. This is a great way to dress in a professional way while also adding a touch of your personality to your outfit.
When it comes to styling cowboy boots you need to remember that the key is having fun. Take the time to experiment and mix and match different colours, styles and textures until you find a look you are happy with. Whether you prefer a smarter look or go for a more edgy chic vibe then cowboy boots are the perfect footwear option.
