Growing up as a northern girl, cowboy boots were never really a big fashion hit for girls in my high school. Usually the only time I saw someone wearing them was if they were going to a country music festival. So naturally coming to college further south I saw girls who could pull off the cowboy boots look effortlessly. As a freshman I immediately decided I needed to buy a pair and figure out how to wear them. Here are some tips that I live by for how to wear cowboy boots, enjoy!
- Decide on a color, style and shape: Leather boots are the most common type and they come in several color options. Cowboy boots with a pointed toe look the most authentic. If you’re not comfortable going full out cowboy then you should choose a pair with a rounded toe. The last option you must decide upon is the length of your boots. You can go for the traditional look of the calf-length boot or opt for cute ankle cowboy boots.
- Embellish your boots: Do not be afraid to embellish your boots by buying a pair with studs or rhinestones like the boots in the picture above. These small details on your boots will be the perfect touch to add style to a casual look!
- Consider your budget: If you only want to wear your cowboy boots once and a while, you can find many cheaper options at places like Payless, Bakers or Forever 21. However, if you plan to keep your boots for a long time you should splurge and invest in a nicer pair like Fyre. Over time they will mold to your feet and be the most comfortable pair of shoes for both day and evening fashion.
- Dress them up or down: You can pair your cowboy boots with a casual dress to dress your outfit up or pair an embellished pair with jeans and a top. Add a few accessories like the Stella & Dot necklace above (I bought this last weekend and it is the perfect summer necklace) and you’re ready to go!
What are some of your favorite things to wear your cowboy boots with? Happy shopping fashionistas!

Awesome! I live in cowgirl boots and sundresses in the summer 🙂
I have a pair a brand new snake skin cowboy boots that purchased in Nashville last year. They are a really nice pair, but I am wondering if they are out of style since they are snake skin and not leather. The top is a distressed brown leather and the bottom is brown and white snake skin. Please let me know you opinion….
