Cowboy Boots

You don't need to be home on the range to know that cowboy boots are a great alternative to the classic leather ankle boot this season. Whether you go for traditional ranch style boots or western inspired knee boots, the Stylight online shop has a wide range of Western boots to choose from.

History

With their traditional Cuban heel, high shaft and round to pointed toes, cowboy boots have been made from exotic materials such as snake skin, alligator skin and even lizard in the past. Early cowboy boot designs took their inspiration from Spanish culture, and the boot we know and love today became popular amongst cattle ranchers in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma in the 1860s. An enduring style icon, Western boots can be seen gracing the feet of celebrities such as Kate Bosworth and Emily Blunt.

Ankle Boots

This season all those in the know are wearing cowboy ankle boots. Shorter than the traditional cowboy boot, these western inspired beauties add a little country flare to your everyday look, teamed with a floaty dress or skinny jeans and oversized vest. Leave your Reebok trainers at home and slip into a pair of tan ankle boots paired with a classic denim skirt and cropped jumper for a relaxed look.

Classic Cowboy

The bold and the beautiful can carry off classic cowboy boots in style. Swap your Marc Jacobs pumps for a pair of cowboy boots in light tan or bright red leather. Teamed with skinnies and a neutral top, these boots were made for walking – or riding! Seven Seconds fringed boots add some Pocahontas flair to a pair of black skinnies and an off-the-shoulder top, ensuring all eyes in the bar are on you.

Kentucky Derby

Slip on a Nixon hoodie, your favourite straight leg jeans and a pair of Kentuckys western boots, or swap the hoodie for a Farah Kahn checked shirt for a look straight out of your favourite Eastwood classic. Check out the range of cowboy boots in the Stylight online shop today, where you will find a style that’ll tempt every modern cowboy and girl to ride off into the sunset with a great pair of boots!

How To Wear Your Cowboy Boots Beyond the Rodeo

The shoe of the south is making its way beyond the Mason Dixon border. Cowboy boots are no longer just a staple of country music and southern life. They’re a wear-with-anything–and super comfortable–way to make calf-height boots casual.

Get ready to take a twist on the cowboy classic. Let us show you how to take your boots beyond the rodeo:

Black Out

Bring your cowboy boots to the dark side. Try the shoe in black leather for a sleek feel. To accentuate the leg, pair the high cut boot with black matte leggings. Finish the look with a loose, half-tucked blouse in a jeweltone.

Pint-Sized

If a full-length cowboy boot is too much to tackle, try its miniature version. Coming in at the ankle, the cropped cowboy boot is subtle way to try out the western favorite. Wear them with cutoff shorts and a graphic tee to compliment the shoe’s casual vibe.

Rough & Tough

Wear your cowboy boots with distressed denim for a disheveled look. The wear and tear of faded denim play up the roughness of the boot. For a softer touch, add a light scarf and cotton tank top.

Heavy Metal

Need a boot with a little more hardware? Try a studded version. Be it a lighter hide, or darker, glossier leather, go for a boot with studs or metal finishings.

Flirty & Feminine

Get girly with a scalloped lace dress to bring a touch of femininity to the rugged cowboy boot. The flirty combination works best with a dress that hits mid thigh. Balance out the look with a denim jacket and oversized hobo bag.

Step out in the boot that brings the southern charm everywhere you go. Find your favorite style and load up on the cowboy boot that you can wear year round.
