For the third year, the cowboy style has not lost its fashionable position. Let's see what are the hallmarks of the style and how to fit it into the wardrobe so as not to look like a participant in the Coachella festival.
Western style, to which we dedicated our new Topic of the month, is one of the varieties of ethnic style. Ethnicity is clothing made based on the national costume. The key word is "based on". Designers do not directly copy the national costume, but borrow details, finishes, characteristic elements, materials. For example, the Western style or cowboy style is inspired by the images of the inhabitants of the southern USA, Mexico and South America of the 60s of the 19th century. The characteristic elements of Western style are easy to distinguish. Imagine what an Indian (or Disney Pocahontas), a Mexican peasant or a Texas cowboy looks like. This poncho, jeans, hat Stetson and gaucho, boots and boots with beveled heels in the direction of the cape, belts with large horseshoe-shaped buckles, spacious shirts with patch pockets and figured flaps, trim - fringe, lacing, all kinds of weaving and embossing, brushes, buckles , bracelets and rivets, from the decoration - shells, feathers, mother of pearl, bone, crumpled coins. Fabrics and colors are mostly natural.

So how do you fit a cowboy style into your everyday wardrobe so that you don't get the impression that you just left the set of the Wild West movie, forgetting to change clothes?
- Do not put on Western style from head to toe. Mix things in a cowboy style with the usual things of other directions;
- let only accessories be in the style-forming manner: a saddle-shaped bag, Cossacks, a belt. Other things, such as dresses, skirts, trousers, knitwear, blouses, will remain neutral;
- if the image has a bright western-style item, leave the accessories basic and simple;
- if things are close to basic and Western style is weakly expressed in them, feel free to combine them with each other. To enhance the stylistic orientation of the image, use thematic accessories, and for leveling - casual.
Now let's practice with the mini-collection of the March issue of Burda's Wind of Change magazine.

Straight denim jeans, although they have all the hallmarks of western style, are neutral enough to style them in different ways, adapting to current fashion trends.
In this image, they are combined with a basic sweater and a sheepskin jacket, which perfectly supports the cowboy stylist with their texture and color.

In a skirt with buttons, only the color and weaving on the belt give out belonging to the considered style. And in order to strengthen the cowboy theme, but at the same time not fall into the grotesque, in addition we choose a little more characteristic things and accessories.

We embody the idea of combining dresses and trousers in a fashionable western style which season. Flared trousers add relaxation to a dress with romantic ruffles, and pointed "shoe" shoes and a saddle-shaped bag complete the look.

Cowboy style can be romantic. For a trendy maxi length skirt, we pick up a loose romantic blouse with rustic bohemian lace. A wide-brimmed straw hat will support a romantic mood and become an unobtrusive accent of the image.

Such a blouse can be combined with jeans perfectly and, complementing the textbook hat with stetson with curved fields and Cossack boots, you get an almost low-fat sample of Western style. And you can act finer and more delicate by choosing a mini-skirt with a frill from a textured matting in a pair to a blouse. The texture and promise of the fabric of the skirt fit well into the framework of the cowboy style, while its style is quite neutral. A similar binding to the western can be seen in accessories - sandals on cork soles and canvas bags.
In conclusion, we note that the western style can be beaten not only in the native summer season, but also during the cold season.
