Blame it on Doja Cat’s “Bitch, I’m a cow,” or give credit to queen Dolly Parton herself, but western-inspired style is having a major moment again. Like cottagecore and coconut girls, ranch-hand chic is another so-called aesthetic made popular on TikTok and Instagram. (The latest is “coastal grandmother,” which, same.)
Whether you’re jumping on the bandwagon or you’re a true-blue boot lover, cowboy boots are one of this year’s hottest styles. Durable and comfy, a timeless pair of stompers is actually a great addition to any wardrobe, even if you wouldn’t quite classify yourself as a southern belle. Call me crazy, but maybe it’s time to make peace with your inner horse girl. We all deserve to feel like Dolly every now and then. Here, find our picks for the best, most fashionable cowboy styles to boot scootin’ boogie in.
