First it was the denim skirt. Then it was the Canadian tuxedo, or denim on denim look. Then it was bandanas. And now it’s silver buckled belts straight out of a western. This is just about the last trend I thought I’d see on the likes of Kendall Jenner and my fave street stylers outside of Coachella that is, but the belt version of the cowboy boot has gone mainstream, and even though the cow girl gear has never really been my thing, even in college when there was always an excuse to be wearing cowboy boots, hats, bandanas, and denim skirts, I’m feeling it. Now granted, Kendall can pull off anything, but paired with edgy black and rocker tees, the cow girl belt is way more city girl cool. But I do think western belts can look so cool and add an unexpected cool-girl update to any outift, so I wanted to share some tips and inspo for how to wear western belts.
In some ways western belts are staples. They always float in and out of style, but recently, they’ve been big. I love then with jeans, a button down and boots or flats like loafers. Keeping the rest of the outfit simple and letting the belt update the look. Don’t pair a western belt with a bandana or other western-inspired attire, it’s too much. You don’t want to look like you’re headed to a theme party, ya know?
