We have a simple solution for you if you’ve got an amazing maxi dress that is a little too formal to wear every day. Instead of letting your maxi dress gather dust while you wait to attend a movie premier, throw on a pair cowboy boots with a cropped jacket or an oversized blazer. Combining streetwear outerwear with rugged shoes can give your dress a new lease of life.
Lots of Fringe

Cowboy boots with fringe are like Margot Robbie’s Barbiecore. You don’t need to go head-to toe in fringe to be a fashion cowgirl. These two Westernwear staples work so well together. Start small by adding a fringed bag or skirt and then build on that.
Dress Up Denim

Cowboy boots are a great way to dress up a denim mini or maxi skirt. We recommend a statement handbag that contrasts with your clothing and matches your boots for maximum impact.

You can’t go far wrong with cowboy boots and union-alls for a casual look that is a little more buttoned-up. This look is all about accessories, so grab your loudest bag and pile on belts and bracelets.
