Cowboy Boots Just Got So Much More Approachable, Thanks To These Celeb-Approved Looks
From Fendi to Chloé, fashion houses saddled up for the Western wave on Fall 2019 runways, setting the tone for a trend that would transcend lookbooks and dominate pop culture in a major way. If celebrity street style is any indication, cowboy mania isn’t getting reined in anytime soon, and it-girls like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are venturing west, demonstrating how to style the cowboy boots, among other seemingly unapproachable staples that comprise the country aesthetic.
If you're iffy on how to master the trend, rest assured that it's easier than it looks. Ahead, four prime outfits from tastemakers to inspire your stylish foray into the Western frontier this spring.
Bike Shorts + Oversized Tee
As the goddaughter of bonafide country style icon, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus was wearing cowboy boots long before the latest Western revival. In April, the Tennessee-born singer tapped into her roots while putting a sporty spin on the classic footwear pick, pairing red-embroidered boots with bike shorts, an oversized tee, and a white backpack. The "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" singer finished the look with stacked bracelets and a Chanel chain necklace.

Blazer + Denim Skirt
The supermodel of the Kar-Jenner clan has also been rocking cowboy boots for years now, but one of her recent looks put a notably modern spin on the trend. Pairing a striped brown blazer with a gorgeous pair of knee-high powder blue crocodile boots from Fendi, the 23-year-old proved the power of boldly colored footwear and a good suit jacket.

Duster + Denim
Leave it to Gigi Hadid and her signature laid-back L.A. style to prove that cowboy boots don't have to read over-the-top. The eldest Hadid sister kept it simple in a cozy concert look last summer, opting for all black with a floor-length duster and distressed denim. Alongside a snakeskin belt, the classic black boots were a subdued take on the trend.
