Let’s get ready to rock some cowboy boots! These boots have been all over my feed, from high-fashion runways to huge concert tours, and I am loving the vibe.
They’re not just reserved for beige and brown anymore; designers are giving us gorgeous pinks, whites, and oranges to play with. This is one wardrobe staple that works with almost everything, all year long.
Some Things to Avoid When Styling Cowboy Boots
There are a few little tips to remember when you’re putting together an outfit with cowboy boots:
- Never Go for Cowboy Theme unless it’s a Costume Party. First thing’s first: if you’re rocking cowboy boots, try not to go all-in on a cowboy theme. Unless it’s for a costume party, the goal is to keep things stylish and elegant. I’d suggest skipping the full-on checkered tops, fringe, and super short denims all at once to avoid looking like you’re in a costume.
- Avoid Over Accessorizing. Going a little too wild with accessories can really take the attention away from your amazing cowboy boots. My advice is to keep your accessories minimal and let the boots be the star of the show.
- Do not Go Overboard with the Outfit. You have to remember that cowboy boots really make a statement all on their own, so I try not to pair them with an outfit that’s too loud or busy. Keeping the rest of the look simple lets the boots have their moment!
- Don’t be Afraid to Experiment. Even though there are some classic looks you can always turn to, don’t be scared to try something new. You never know, you could put together a super stylish and trendy look that becomes your new favorite!
Cowboy boots have become a total must-have since they made their big comeback. They are so comfortable, chic, and functional, I just know they’re here to stay.
I’ve rounded up 10 modern ways to style these boots so you can feel confident and amazing. The boots in this blog are from Bukela, which is a Danish shoe brand that focuses on subtle, functional, and trendy designs with lots of attention to detail.

This look is such a showstopper and perfect for getting those cowgirl vibes while staying so trendy and fashionable. I love pairing knee-length cowboy boots with a short fringe dress.
It’s such a chic style for rock concerts, festive events, or even a formal evening dinner. I would avoid adding too many accessories here, since those shimmery fringes are already bringing all the sparkle.
You’ll definitely turn heads with a chic look like this one!

For that perfect mix of rustic charm and modern style, you have to try pairing your calf-length cowboy boots with a chic shirt dress. I always add a statement belt to define the waist, and then finish the look with a super functional handbag or a sling bag.
Tying your hair up in a bun gives it that comfy summer feel, just like the girl in the picture. This look will have you feeling confident and ready for any adventure.
3. With Shorts and a Blouse for a Chic Street Style
