Western Fashion ~ Functional or Fashionable?

"I don't need a bunch of kids telling me how to dress! It's not about looking good! It was created to serve a purpose."

This was a comment on our video ~ The Dos & Don'ts of Dressing Western.

While there is some truth in the comment when it comes to functionality, I completely disagree that western wear can't also be about fashion.

Back in the 1800s, cowboys, ranchers and outlaws ruled the Wild West.  Cowboy gear was created to survive the landscape. Those old leather boots and cowboy hats were essential for wrangling cattle and braving the elements. 

Even so, the western style did turn heads! 

And as time has passed, cowboy fashion has evolved. What started as a humble, functional outfit is now a fashion statement that captures the spirt of the American frontier. 

Nowadays, you don't have to be roping cattle to rock a bit of western flair. 

All clothing... not just western wear... serves a purpose.  And it's okay to want to look good while wearing it!  

When we look good, we feel good! 

And when we feel good, we get s*#! done!

So whether you're a city slicker or a country dweller, there's something about cowboy fashion that speaks to everyone. 

It's a timeless style that's here to stay, no matter where the trail leads.

And in this blog... the trail is taking us next to THE KING OF BOOTS ~ Lucchese.
