Summer Fashion Trend: Cowgirl Chic

With the fashion world taking inspiration from the early 2000s in the past few years, a country inspired comeback was inevitable. And like many trends stemming from the early 2000s, tacky and maximalist patterns and shapes work perfectly with your summer cowgirl fantasy. And I don’t know about you but who wouldn’t want to dress like the misunderstood slutty small town country girl in a teen movie?

Nine Items to Collect for the Ultimate Cowgirl Look

Denim Cut Off Shorts

Opt for a mid length cut with frayed edges and a light wash. This piece will last in your closet for a long time and can be made by cutting a pair of old jeans in seconds.

Low Waisted Bootcut Jeans

These pants can be worn year round and will probably be the hot style for a while so invest now!

Flannels

Despite being not back quite yet but this piece can easily be transitioned into your fall wardrobe (and can also work in a grunge-y 90s look that still is very popular).

Cowboy Boots

These boots are an amazing investment! They will never go out of style! Experiment with fun colors like cherry red or deep blue (buy secondhand or find a deal from a local equestrian supply store).

Trucker Hats

Paris Hilton is that you? These hats are great to wear to the beach this summer or to add a unique flair to any outfit.

Bandannas

Wear in your hair as a scarf or tie around your neck as an ascot. Bandannas are as simple way to tie in colors in an outfit (and you can get lots of colors and patterns for really cheap!)

Graphic Tank Tops and Tight Fitted Tees

This wardrobe must have is easy to find at your local thrift store. Try playing with funny logos and text. If you can find a bedazzled one, all the better.

Lace Up Jeans and Tops

A staple of the early 2000s that takes influence from the 1970s (like a lot of the styles of this trend) and is an interesting way to make closet must haves unique.
