How to Pull Off Wearing Western Boots

Who says that you have to be a cowboy to wear and appreciate Western clothing? Every man can incorporate a touch of the Western style in his outfits with the right accessories, like by opting for a pair of western boots. Now honestly, they can be a bit tricky to pull off so if you have always wanted to wear such a pair, but still haven’t figured out how, let’s go through a few ideas.

Keep Things Simple

Most western boots are already oozing with style. They have a strong bit of flair to them and their height, toe shape, heel height, and overall style can make them the focus of your outfit. That being said, what makes for a good rule is to have one Western-themed piece of clothing per outfit. That’s because you want to create an outfit that allows you to wear your boots without letting the whole Western vibe overpower the whole look.

So when wearing a pair of western boots, you want to combine them with a simple and sleek belt and a jacket, rather than with a cowboy shirt a big hat or with a rattlesnake skin belt with huge silver buckle that features turquoise inlays. That’s because you want to look like you’re making a calculated fashion statement, as opposed to looking like you'll be attending a costume party.

Also If you live in a big city, you want to look a little dressier. That being said, if you want to create an outfit that is won't fail in making that impression, try a pair of dark, close fitted jeans or relaxed trousers, a simple white button down shirt, and a brown or gray jacket with a soft, casual cut. Collared shirts also go well with western boots. You can add a leather belt and maybe a paisley pocket square to evoke traditional bandanas and you'll look both stylish and unique. A hat can often mean that you are really pushing it, but if you still want one, a nice and simple felt Western style hat may complement western boots.

Wear Them with Confidence

As already mentioned, Western boots are an attention-grabbing accessory that is sure to get people's attention. If you are not comfortable enough wearing them, it will instantly show in your posture and body language, and that doesn’t make for a very attractive picture. That is why apart from pairing them right, the key to successfully pulling western boots is to wear them with confidence. You need to wear them with pride and like you really mean it.
