Western Inspired Boots

I’ve been noticing a lot of girls wearing western-style boots lately. At first I was anti-western, but I’m sorta warming up to the idea and I think that it can be a good look if not overdone. Example: Everything else that you are wearing with your cowboy/western inspired boots cannot have any western flair to them at all; basically, your outfit needs to be the opposite of western (unless you’re going for that “I’m from the South” look)

Whichever Olsen twin this is has the right idea (left), where as, Kate Bosworth has the wrong idea:

The lace and frilly sleeves is a little too cowboy for me. But, on the other hand, she’s pretty awesome, so she can kinda do what she wants (and pull it off).

Being from no where near the South, I know that people have been wearing them for years, regardless of fashion. In my research to see what people are saying about boots, I came across The Boot Blog from Allen’s Boots and found this:

“If you’re in town for SXSW, you may have noticed more than a few people wearing cowboy boots. Besides being hugely popular in Texas, cowboy boots are very much in style right now, being worn by everyone from hipsters to celebs to top music industry execs. Seems like people have caught on to how awesome cowboy boots are — both in style and function.”

The original boot maker businesses like Stetson, Justin and Lucchese are pretty psyched right now. Check out a huge selection of updated and original cowboy boots at Fabulous Western-Inspired Boots.
