Rodeo Western Wear For The Modern Cowboy/girl

By Carl Taylor


The term western is usually associated with old cowboy movies and culturally insensitive tropes that the world has moved on from. However, as the world has moved on from this, it has taken with it some of the ideas that were around them and these ideas cannot be any more evident than when it comes to fashion. Although it has been modernized, rodeo western wear has not changed much.

Furthermore, the lack of free space for people to roam around and herd large amounts of cattle has been a change that s a result of modernization but to compensate for that there is the rodeo. A place filled with challenges of its own that are the best adrenaline rush for the modern day westerner.

Moving further south, boots are great for not only protecting a person s feet but ensuring that the look they want to pull comes off because as the saying goes you can tell a lot about someone based on the shoes that they wear. The boots in question should be tough enough to withstand a desert climate but comfortable enough to be used daily without giving a person discomfort.

And then there is the cowboy boot. The kind of footwear that makes everything seem that much more over the top. Whether it be used for dancing, keeping the foot safe while it s wedged in between stirrups or even for looking cool while traversing rough terrain. The cowboy boot has become a staple of rodeo attire, just as much as the hat and the jeans. As they are all distinct features required in order to make the look a success.

Denim is always a great choice to wear because the material is sturdy and can withstand a roughhousing. The cut of the jean as well also plays a role. Not to get technical but a skinny jean be any good at a rodeo so cowboy cut jeans are best as they accommodate for the footwear that is so often used in rodeos. For those who want something with a little more style, leather is also a great option. But one needs to bear in mind that it s not as durable as denim.

Last but not least, what is a cowboy or cowgirl without their hat. The signature staple of what makes the entire culture as recognizable as it is today. That, and a horse. The hat itself has to have distinct features in order for it to be classified as such. It needs to be high crowned and wide-brimmed. A lack of these two features and it is just a hat with nothing special about it.

Depending on the weather one has the option of dressing in a short-sleeved shirt or a long-sleeved shirt accordingly. And a nice leather or jean coat doesn t hurt either.

Regardless of what one wears, the intention is to have fun, whether they re with their friends or family or with a beer or two, It s all about having fun.
