Rodeo Western Wear For The Modern Cowboy/girl

By Carl Taylor


When the term Western and Rodeo is mentioned, what usually pops into people s minds is the image of the great outback, people on horseback and the occasional bull here and there that need to be kept under control. But it s the fashion that makes this kind of lifestyle unique as it is. But enjoying the fashion sense of rodeo western wear doesn t mean that a person needs to be a cowboy or cowgirl.

Furthermore, the lack of free space for people to roam around and herd large amounts of cattle has been a change that s a result of modernization but to compensate for that there is the rodeo. A place filled with challenges of its own that are the best adrenaline rush for the modern day westerner.

And not just a mere fashion statement as it has become now. Just as popular as the hat, the biggest distinguishing factor is the American blue jeans. An item of clothing that became as popular and used as frequently as the miners who popularised it due to the durability of the materials.

And then there is the cowboy boot. The kind of footwear that makes everything seem that much more over the top. Whether it be used for dancing, keeping the foot safe while it s wedged in between stirrups or even for looking cool while traversing rough terrain. The cowboy boot has become a staple of rodeo attire, just as much as the hat and the jeans. As they are all distinct features required in order to make the look a success.

Denim is always a great choice to wear because the material is sturdy and can withstand a roughhousing. The cut of the jean as well also plays a role. Not to get technical but a skinny jean be any good at a rodeo so cowboy cut jeans are best as they accommodate for the footwear that is so often used in rodeos. For those who want something with a little more style, leather is also a great option. But one needs to bear in mind that it s not as durable as denim.

Last but not least, what is a cowboy or cowgirl without their hat. The signature staple of what makes the entire culture as recognizable as it is today. That, and a horse. The hat itself has to have distinct features in order for it to be classified as such. It needs to be high crowned and wide-brimmed. A lack of these two features and it is just a hat with nothing special about it.

Depending on the weather one has the option of dressing in a short-sleeved shirt or a long-sleeved shirt accordingly. And a nice leather or jean coat doesn t hurt either.

Anybody can be fashion forward with this style of attire, but if they want to do it, be part of a trend or part of a bigger fashion community, then they need to do it right. And these fashion tips illustrate how it can be done the right way.
