AW15 style is gradually seeping its way onto the highstreet and so I've created some looks which pull off from a western theme. I recently bought some cowboy boots from a vintage shop so I've been working out ways to add them to the upcoming season looks, whilst featuring some other keys trends.
Keep it traditionally fun

I'm not talking going full out Dolly Parton but some western inspired items are classics for a reason. This shirt from Topshop pulls the look together, tucked into this blue denim front zip midi skirt from Whistles and edgy patterned boots from Office make this western modern.
Double Denim Does It

Huge fan again of an adaptation of a classic. If you have looked on my Instagram you will spot a pair I picked up from a vintage shop in Nottingham. Places that sell cowboy boits specifically will cost you a lot so hunt around charity and vintage shops for a bargain. You may be thinking... 'double denim isn't that a fashion sin?' you're right I would usually agree but I reckon in the right context can look pretty damn smart. Tuck the shirt into the jeans and add a skinny belt for the ultimate look.
Suede, Fringing and Top Tan

Oh yes gotta love a bit of fringing. Totally fallen in love with some of the AW15 goodies from River Island especially the fringed cap! Slip on suede mules from Aldo keep a western vibe without just keeping everything booted. Floaty top from F&F (loads of great bits from their AW15 collection) compliaments the high waisted River Island shorts well which would ideally be tucked in too.
Gimme that 70's Vibe
Shirt - Topshop checked shirtBangles - New Look Brown and Gold BanglesBoots - Saint Laurent New Western Fringed BootsTop- Wal G Fringe TshirtSkirt - Miss Selfridge Mid Wash Denim SkirtNecklace - Marni Horn and Wool NecklaceSunglasses - Acessorize Lorna Round SunglassesBag - H&M Brown Bag
It would be a sin to forget a look with a checked shirt, and this mustard one from Topshop gives a stylish step away from the classic red. For this look I'd wear the skirt and fringed top with the shirt left open. It's quite a 70's meets country vibe for this look.
Cool Country Casuals
Hat - Oliver Bonas Fedora Fabric HatDunagrees - New Look Light Denim Ripped DungareesNecklace - Oliver Bonas Arle Cord NecklaceTop - Maurices City Girl Gone Country TshirtShirt - Marks and Spencer No Peep Long Checked ShirtBoots - New Look Tan Fringe BootsI love to dress down and this is my favorite look for that. Big fan of these dunagrees and Oliver Bonas casual hat. Tshirt is rather fun too and it all just works by picking up key trends for the casual western ensemble.
What do you think? What is your key piece for AW15 in this style?
