Either way, you’ll fall hard for the aesthetic combination of rugged and romantic, the perfect contrast for a free spirit.

Needless to say, a big part of the Western vibe is the boots. Whether you opt for knee-high, calf-high, or ankle booties, there’s just an air of, well, moxie that surrounds every pair of cowgirl boots. And while the natural inclination is often to pair them with denim, you can wear Western boots with anything. Dresses? Definitely. Short skirts? Sure. Long skirts? Let’s go! Broad-brimmed hats are also a great choice, and they’ll keep the springtime sun off of your face. Practical and pretty: a win/win!

Ready to ride out and experience these wild styles for yourself? Read on to see some cute ways to style your western outfit this season.

Escape into an ultra-femme world of ruffles and frills, where embroidered details and burgundy boots provide just the right balance to the delicate romance of a tiered spring mini skirt! Ok, maybe I got a little carried away with that one–but it’s hard not to daydream a little when an outfit comes together so perfectly!

Sleeveless Top + Lace Tiered Maxi Skirt + Fringe Boots

An easy way to instantly get the Westerncore aesthetic is to pair a romantic outfit with contrasting rustic-inspired Western accessories. The soft delicate vibe of this lace skirt pairs perfectly imperfectly with a statement belt, cowgirl hat, and fringed Western boots.

Button-Up Top + Denim Shorts + Knee-High Boots

The Western vibe is in-in this spring, which means the return of warmer weather–so take advantage and show off your favorite tall boots by pairing them with denim shorts and a lightweight button up. A wide-brimmed hat is the perfect topper. And if you don’t have a favorite, I recommend matching one with your boots. You can match color, texture, or both!

Fringe Jacket + Mini Dress

Western silhouettes are derived from intense workwear–not suits and ties, but jackets and jeans designed to protect cowboys and cowgirls from angry livestock. Fortunately, today’s designers aren’t protecting you from mad cows–but you will inevitably drive someone mad when you pair this elegant, refined jacquard bustier dress with the rugged style of a fringed jacket.

Cutout Dress + Quilted Jacket

Sunset colors are a cornerstone of the Western aesthetic, as evidenced by this sexy rust orange dress. And even though the weather’s getting warmer, the nights can still be cool, so try wearing it with a soft quilted jacket to keep off the chill. Match it with studded boots and a wide-brimmed hat for the ideal cowgirl’s night out outfit.

Mini Shift Dress + Fringe Boots

When you’re aiming for a breezy, Boho look, sometimes less is more. Case in point: This deceptively simple outfit is just an adorable dress and a pair of boots. Of course, it’s so much more than that; sweet details like the billowing balloon sleeves and the knotted fringe on the boots create a playful, romantic vibe that’s perfect for a picnic and a walk in the park–or a date night on the dance floor!

Denim Jacket + Eyelet Shirt + Denim Mini Skirt

The denim-on-denim look is the epitome of western wear and honestly, it’s a no-brainer: When your jacket and skirt are the same wash, they’ll always look great together. Wearing them with a white top gives you a crisp, clean look, and eyelet details are a staple of this aesthetic.

Floral Barn Jacket + Two Tone Jeans

The Western spirit is all about connecting with the land, so one of the easiest ways to infuse a little of that into your fashion is to lean into florals. This outfit pairs the warm colors of a spring meadow with earth-toned floral motifs on the boots. A pair of boot-cut jeans finishes the look for an outfit that’s at home wherever you feel like taking it easy.

Tiered Bustier Dress + Mid-Calf Boots

A little glimmer of gold from dainty earrings or a delicate necklace adds just the right amount of shine for brunch with the babes or a romantic evening out.
