While cowboy boots are cute and trendy at the moment, they will also become a well-worn pair of shoes in your closet in no time.

Ready to plan your next western-inspired outfit? Here are a few cute and feminine ways to style cowboy boots!

With a Minidress

Short dresses are an easy way to channel femininity with your cowboy boots! The goal is to look like Sophia from The Longest Ride, and maybe you’ll catch the attention of a cowboy too. Floral patterns, soft pastels, sweet silhouettes – these are perfect options for dancing or singing along to your favorite country artist. 

A personal favorite is a pair of black cowboy boots and a black minidress. Classic and a little spicy, this look is easy to put together and looks adorable! 

And don’t be afraid of a little color, especially with a pair of white western boots! This look is so chic and fun, and the overall shine of the dress adds a special touch to the outfit. Try adding different fabrics and silhouettes to your dress collection for easy outfit options. 

With Denim Cutoffs

Cowboy boots and denim shorts are a perfect match! There are so many ways to style denim and cowboy boots, and you can wear almost any top. A cute country graphic tee, a tank top, a sweater – so many options depending on where you’re going and what you’ll be doing. Add a hat and some fun jewelry, and you’re ready to go! Yeehaw!

 

With a Miniskirt

If you’re heading to Nashville anytime soon, you’ll need boots and a miniskirt. This look is a little edgier, which is super fun for a girl’s night out! Whether you lean towards a darker skirt or love the bright white look, this outfit combo is a must-wear for your next country event.

A soft, faded graphic tee can make this outfit special! It’s the perfect amount of effortless and put-together, and it allows your personality to shine through your look. 

If you’d rather stay on-brand, a denim miniskirt is a great alternative to a pair of cutoffs. Add a sweet, feminine blouse with puff sleeves and eyelet details for a cute, country look! 

With a Touch of Sparkle

If you’re looking for a fun way to dress up your western look, consider a sparkly top or mini dress! A touch of shimmer brings out the girlier side of the cowgirl aesthetic, and would be so fun for a girl’s night out. And if a full sparkly outfit is outside your comfort zone, start by adding a touch of glitter to your eye makeup or choose a pair of boots with a little shimmer! 

Denim on Denim

Brittany Aldean has made the headlines recently, and her style is simply amazing. Her denim-on-denim look is a great way to set your style apart when attending a country music event. Her chosen shade of blue is consistent throughout the look, but the different silhouettes and details contrast each other slightly, which makes the outfit cohesive and noticeable!

Neutral Colors

If your aesthetic consists of only earth tones, add some cowboy boots for an added western touch. Soft, neutral hues are so sweet and feminine, and easily create an insta-worthy look that blends well with the natural background!
