Most of you probably aren’t familiar with John Wayne, and that’s okay because most of you aren’t 50-year-old men with a taste for cigars and whiskey. To enlighten you, John Wayne was an American movie star of the 1940s and 1950s most known for his many roles set in the wild, Wild West. Westerns popularized cowboy culture and Americana in society throughout much of the 1950s. Little boys and girls loved to dress up as cowboys/cowgirls and go galloping around on their stick horses through their backyards. I had a stick horse, his name was Hugo. Well, last spring’s runways have gave birth to the urban cowgirl. The trend is catching on. Check out these rad boots. I reckon you’ll love this jacket.
This Fashionista totally modified the western trend and nailed it. Her ensemble is all black and bad-to-the-bone. The key piece of this outfit is a silky, button-down blouse adorned with two bull skulls. It’s unique and definitely makes a statement. She pairs the blouse with black cigarette trousers. She tops off the look with another key trend, all-white adidas sneakers. The look is simple but original. She proves you don’t have to go galloping off into the sunset in the deserts of Nevada to be a cool cowgirl.
So kick up your spurs and test out this trend. Pair a maxi dress with some studded boots or add a suede skirt to a peasant blouse. Dress like the West.
