Get the Look: Coastal Cowgirl Style

The “Coastal Cowgirl” look is guaranteed to be everywhere this summer, but before you head to your nearest leather goods store, get clear on what the trend entails! At its core, “Coastal Cowgirl” is all about easy, breezy, comfortable outfits with a bit of western flair. In short, don’t go too coastal, or too cowgirl – it’s key to strike the perfect balance. Here are some items that will help get you there!

Headwear
Cowboy hats can be expensive! Luckily, they aren’t your only option. Try a straw or raffia texture in a wide brimmed style, and remember: it’s never too late to begin building your bandana collection.

Tops
Your guiding lights here are soft colors, light materials, and subtle details. Pro tip: next time you hit the thrift store, scan the racks for anything embroidered!

Shoes
Do we even need to say it? A great pair of cowboy boots will only serve you in this lifetime. But if that’s not really your thing, suede booties in brown or white will also do the trick.

Accessories
We saved the best for last, because really, Coastal Cowgirl is all about those small touches! We love the idea of star earrings (hello, sheriff!), bolo ties, turquoise jewelry, and of course, the perfect classic American-made leather belt with a bit of shine on the buckle. Giddy up!
