Cowboy Boots Are The Most Stylish Way To Stomp Into The New Season
In case you missed it, cowboy is cool.
This may not be Texas, but it is Beyoncé's world. Cowboy Carter declared 2024 the year of Western dressing and who are we to deny her?
When Queen Bey released her country-inspired album in March 2024, which included a Dolly Parton Jolene-inspired cover, we all started going a bit 'cowgirl-core' mad. This glorious hysteria was only accelerated by Bella Hadid's return to equestrian style and the Noughties boho resurgence heralded by Chloé and Sienna Miller. Fast forward to AW24, and all things Western are still dominating.

'The cowgirl trend is the ultimate in care-free, frivolous style for summer, and over the past six months, we've seen a noticeable increase in organic searches on-site in relation to this trend,' Sinead Cutts, Style Director at THE OUTNET tells ELLE UK. 'With the revival of Sienna Miller’s boho chic seen at Chloé AW24, alongside the show’s fringed jackets and trousers, plus Hadid's recent Texan aesthetic, cowgirl-core is the ultimate fashion outlaw. The best part of this trend is it’s easy to achieve with a few key pieces - try Ganni boots, a statement hat, a fringed leather jacket and bootcut jeans.'
