In the last few years we’ve noticed that Western style denim was “pushing” consistently – present in almost every preview we attended. And the coming spring and summer seasons are going to be pretty much all about Western styles.
Fashion model, Bella Hadid, is one of the celebrities clearly on top of the western trend. She recently posted images of herself in her very own rodeo style in dark wash bootcut jeans, and another one where she’s clad in leather chaps.
So what exactly does “Western Style” mean? Originating from the practical needs of cowboys and frontiersmen, it is all about the spirit of 19th-century America.
Denim and especially blue jeans, is a staple in Western attire. Initially favored by miners and cowboys for their durability, jeans have become a universal symbol of Western fashion, celebrated for their comfort and versatility. The evolution of denim from workwear to everyday wear reflects the broader trend of Western fashion moving from ranches to urban settings.
