Coastal fabrics: linen, denim, and light knits

Being a summer trend, coastal cowgirl mainly involves summery and cool fabrics, such as linen, paired with a good old pair of denim shorts. But summer nights can be chilly, and cowgirls need to stay warm: enter the light knit jumper in cotton or one-ply wool. Stylight has registered a 54% increase in searches for light summer knits.

There are two predominant approaches to the coastal cowgirl style: rustic, featuring jeans, linen tops, and leather vests; and romantic, composed of a light and airy dress paired with a bandana. Cowboy hats and boots are always essential!
