If 2021 made anything clear, it is that in the western trend that continues to add so many followers in fashion, there is life beyond the classic pieces that make it up. In fact, Attico or Zara were two of the firms that made it clear that it was a perfect aesthetic for Christmas, recalling the figure of the Rhinestone Cowboy and Nudie Cohn’s suits . In 2022, fashion weeks show that the shadow of the Wild West is very long and is projected very strongly on street style. And it is that the fashion prescribers continue to resort to this universe as inspiration for the looks with which they are attending the parades.
It is not, of course, about dressing from head to toe like a cowgirl , but it is about breaking down her basics to balance them in the right amount. For example, opting for an oversize leather jacket can be the perfect touch to put on a western look, but slightly out of context. Once again, street style offers some of the freshest and most original ideas to take note of.
with loafers
Straight jeans and a shirt and blazer. Here the cowboy hat is that little license that transforms the look . Proof that accessories are the best way to get started on a trend. The color black is a perfect basic tone to invest in one, due to its great versatility: its contrast with JW Anderson loafers (as opposed to cowboy boots, which would be more expected) is the secret of success of an ideal style for beginners .
In color block key
The ‘advanced’ level of the western trend does not lie, once again, in the garments themselves, but rather in the way they are combined. The street style shows that tailoring pieces are an infallible ally to give a fresh look to the cowboy look. Goodbye jeans, hello colorful tailored suit. The looks seen in Milan and New York invite you to play with their colors in a color block key . Bet, for example, on a set of straight pants and pale yellow blazer, and add a cowboy hat and a red crossbody bag. Or limit the color palette to two tones, pink and blue, with which to play: against an oversize blue blazer, a pink shirt, pants, hat and bag stand out. So who can resist?
