Your Country Western Lookbook

[BeeNee]

The Country Western look, or in this case, cowgirl look, had a more practical start. Being a cowboy or a cowgirl out on a range somewhere required that you wear sturdier and more practical materials like denim and leather while riding horses and tending the land. Often because of the interactions between Native populations and settlers, a lot of the influence in the pattern wear and jewelry come from a Native American background. With little land these days that still needs settling, the look endures for those who are actually in ranching, rodeos, or farming, or who just enjoy the overall aesthetic that this look gives of a mix between fashion and that still enduring spirit of hard work, grit, and freedom that working the land entail.

Those who love this look will of course start with a bounty of denim, leather, and suede, but things like lace, cotton, and crochet knits make an appearance. Must haves are a fine pair of boots and a well fitting cowboy hat, ornate belt buckles, fringe, prairie skirts, panchos, dusters, double denim, ruffles, boot cut everything, Western cut collard shirts, plaid, and chunky turquoise jewelry.

The overall color scheme for this look are deep rich earth tones reflective of the dessert atmosphere. Make-up is very natural if non-existent with this look, and hair is usually kept down (can't wear a cowboy hat with a massive updo) in a style that is low maintenance like a braid, ponytail, or just windswept and wavy.

This is essentially my country/western lookbook.

They look good, but a real cowgirl wouldn't wear anything like that.

[BeeNee]

No, you'd absolutely be laughed off the ranch, but we're talking fashion here, and fashion is rarely if ever extremely practical.

Lol, this reminds me of wanting to be a cowgirl back in the day :) With that said, part of me will always love the cowgirl look. Recently when I went shopping, I wanted to buy clothes and accessories from one of my favorite store's Country Western collection, alas everything was a bit expensive, especially the cowboy hat. Excellent take by the way :)

[BeeNee]

Thanks. Authentic western wear certainly is not cheap. A good pair of boots that will last you, are not cheap nor is an actual fitted cowboy hat, or you know, real leather of any kind.

I dont care what they wear, all those girls are hot. I prefer them unclothed.

[Anonymous]

Surely not dressed for the ranch. Still these girls seem like the type for hard fast riding. (lol).

[HeckYeah]

My girlfriend is somewhat a cowgirl, she grew up around horses

[BlondeMother]

Not a cowgirl, but I do own couple pairs of cowboy boots

[Hidden_P]

I love the look but it doesn't suit my body type.

[BeeNee]

Jeans, ponchos, skirts? You can't wear those items?

[Hidden_P]

More like tassels, shirts and boots.

Massive tits, rounded tum (even when I was slim my boobs were 4 dress sizes bigger than the rest of me) make shirts impossible and tassels just show it off. I have really thick, muscle, fat legs due to living on the side of a hill/mountain my whole life. I have to buy "extra wide" boots and even those don't always fit.

[BeeNee]

Oh pish posh, my friend! I agree that it is more difficult to dress when you aren't the size model proportions, but it can be done.

1. Forget your "size," and buy shirts to fit your boobs, not the rest of you, and then have the shirts tailored and darted to fit the rest of your torso. This way you won't get that pulling of the buttons and you'll actually get the fit you need and not some proportions not meant for your body.

2. I'm pretty sure you meant to say "fringe" as opposed to tassels, b/c I have no tassels pictured, but in regards to fringe, it's perfect because unlike say a ruffle which adds a lot of bulk to a frame, fringe is long and stringy and creates great vertical lines which make you look longer/leaner, and the movement helps distract from trouble areas. Like picture one, under all that fringe you aren't really going to notice the outline of her hips b/c the fringe when moving around as it does, is a distraction...

[BeeNee]

3. When going to tummy coverage, leather and jean fabrics are perfect because unlike a cottony material, they hold their shape and glide over your stomach as opposed to hugging areas you don't want shown.

4. Boots can be a toughie, but you can find a wide leg boot or go for a faux leather or suede ankle boot which can look just as cute.
