SOME TIPS FOR ROCKING WESTERN WEAR
1. Cowboy Boots Are A Must Have

It would be a sin to suggest wearing anything besides boots when it comes to footwear with any of the following outfits. If you are buying your first pair go with brown or black leather so they match with everything. Stiff leather boots are made to be worn snugly, so make sure to break them in before the party.

Nothing screams Southern belle like a white dress. Whether cotton or lace you can’t go wrong. Pair a white dress with a pop of color like turquoise jewelry or red lipstick. Warning: don’t expect a clean white dress to stay spotless after a night of line dancing at the Barn Party.
3. Trends to Try: Off the Shoulder

Cowboys will line up to be caught under a neon moon with cowgirls who rock this chic-casual off-the-shoulder look. There is something about the simplicity of a breathable dress’ relaxed fit that commands the attention in a room. Pro tip: Off-the-shoulder looks highlight the neckline already so skip wearing a necklace and stick with earrings and hand jewelry for this look.
