The keys to building an inspiring women's cowboy look

The cycles of fashion and trends are inscrutable. There are aesthetic trends that prevail season after season, others that as soon as they come they go and others that, as has happened with the western style, after some time stored in the drawer, resurface stronger than ever. Lately you will have seen that cowboy hats and boots, fringes, denim garments or leather belts with metallic appliqués are a constant in the street style and social networks.

In short, cowboy style, also known as cowboycoreis experiencing a spectacular resurgence in the fashion world. Find at Discover by MANGO how to incorporate this western style into your day-to-day and unleash your cowgirl interior.

What do we mean by cowboy style?

The cowboy style, also known as cowboycore has its roots in the functional clothing of the cowboys of the American Far West. Emerging in the 19th century, this style was the perfect combination of functionality and durability, created to withstand the harsh conditions of working in the field. However, the influence of western style has transcended its practical origins to become a powerful fashion statement.

The importance of tissues

did you know that denim was one of the materials most commonly used in the clothing worn by cowboys in the Wild West? That's why this fabric is one of the main hallmarks of the cowboy aesthetic and the star of the first garment you should add to your wardrobe if you want to join this trend. With an incomparable versatility, the denim shirt is living one of its sweetest moments associated with women's cowboy looks, combined with flared jeans as a Canadian tuxedo as well as with other less obvious garments. Our suggestion is this straight design in dark blue with front pockets and stitching detail that will be the star of many of your next outfits.

Suede is another hallmark of the interesting textures of the cowboy world, as well as a timeless trend. Overshirts, mini-skirts, trousers... The velvety coat of these garments will protect you from unpredictable mid-season weather with its casual elegance.

We can't forget fur and wool, which are used in details such as linings and trims. These materials add an extra layer of comfort and sophistication to the cowboy style, making it ideal for the colder months.

Leather is also an iconic and indispensable material in any woman's cowboy outfit. Whether it's in the form of jackets, boots or studded belts, leather garments lend an air of ruggedness and authenticity to the western style. What's more, leather ages beautifully, gaining character over time.

An infallible classic in any cowboy outfit: the boots

They are, of course, the most recognisable and acclaimed element of the western style aesthetic. And possibly the only one that has been making an uncompromising return to street style and the catwalks for countless seasons. By now, it's only logical that cowboy boots have rightly earned the title of essential basic in any wardrobe, with the most classic and minimalist version being a perennial favourite. If you haven't yet surrendered to their charms, these 100% suede leather boots are a great place to start. With a sensible heel and in a camel colour that goes with absolutely everything, the metal plate detail on the toe makes a subtle nod to the trend without detracting from their versatility.

Playing with patterns

Certain aesthetic currents prevail over time associated with a specific design or motif. And if we're talking about cowgirls and the Wild West, cow print couldn't be left out of the equation. Let your gentle animal spirit out with a cow print, one of the most daring ways to incorporate this trend into your cowboy look. You can go all out like a western star with a spotted jacket or, if you'd rather not go too deep, leave it to the details like your bag. But be warned: once you try it, you'll want more.

remember flannel shirts on jeans? This season, plaid motifs are extrapolated to more contemporary silhouettes, such as draped blouses, midi skirts or flowing, sinuous dresses.

Add cowboy dresses to your wardrobe

While cowboy style is often associated with trousers and shirts, dresses also play a key role in this trend. Denim dresses, for example, are a great option for those who want to incorporate denim into their cowboy outfit in a more feminine way.

As we mentioned before, cow print is one of the trends for autumn winter 2024-2025, and dresses offer us the perfect canvas to wear this wild print. Combine your leather dress in an looks with cowboy boots and a hat for a look that won't go unnoticed.

Dresses with fringed details are also a great choice. These fringes, which move gracefully as you walk, add a dynamic and playful touch to the western style. Opt for a dress in earth tones for a more traditional look, or choose bright colours for a modern interpretation of cowboy style.
