A new trend is creeping up on the catwalks – from fringes to embroidered shirts, it’s pretty clear that the cowgirls are dominating the fashion scene with the wild, wild West trend.

No need to go all-out Western, though, since we don’t want our readers to end up looking like they’re heading to a costume party. See how we put together West-inspired outfits that are practical for everyday wear. These are 5 wild wild west outfits ideas that you can easily copy:

1. Embroidered Shirt and Ripped Jeans

If there’s a Western item that’s highly underrated in the fashion world, we’re pretty sure it’s the embroidered shirt.

The Western folks love to play with contrasting yokes on their button-down sleeves, often adding gorgeous embroidered ornamentation to them.

Like Michèle of The Fashion Fraction (her blog is no longer available online), pick out a pretty shirt and wear it with a statement belt, ripped jeans, and a mod leather backpack. Don’t forget the embellished wedge boots. Shop her look:

2. Fringe Top and Denim Shorts

We love how fringes have taken on a modern version by turning into slashes in this look.

For the classic loyalists, however, fringe crop and handkerchief hem tops can be found across a wide range of retail stores, so it shouldn’t be so difficult to jump into the trend.

Like Stephanie of High Stitched Voice (her blog is no longer available online), wear your fringe top with denim cutoff shorts, a fedora (we prefer this over an actual cowboy hat because it doesn’t give off that costume feel), and a pair of studded cutout boots to complete the look:

3. Chambray Top and Skinny Jeans

Nothing says yeehaw more than denim, and to show you just how serious we are about that, we’re pulling a denim-on-denim Western-inspired look.

4. Statement Belt and Pleated Skirt

We can’t really go through this post without mentioning leather, can we?

Like Assitan of Styles by Assitan, select a chambray top or an embroidered shirt, tuck it into a pleated leather skirt, and connect both seamlessly with a statement belt.

5. Cropped Denim Top and Destroyed Cutoffs

Of course, when you say West, you not only have the cowboys, but there are the Indians as well. Like Shea of Peace Love Shea (her blog is no longer available online), wear an Indian-inspired open kaftan with a cropped denim top and high-waisted destroyed denim cutoffs.
