The past two years have had us reaching for a lot of things — sourdough recipes because we had nothing better to do, a very alarming amount of true crime documentaries and, of course, an escape from the mundane. We’re talking a whole van life, babbling brook, let’s-run-off-and-ride-horses-into-the-sunset situation.
There’s definitely been a recent push towards a simpler time and a desire to escape the mundane and romanticize your life. Cue the western trend. We’re talking cowboy boots, fringe everything, prairie dresses and anything else you would wear while maybe running through a flower field with the wind whistling through your hair.
Here are our favorite western-inspired pieces to spice up your wardrobe and maybe even have you looking like you’re an extra in Westworld.
