Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “modern cowboy” aesthetic pop up everywhere lately, and I gotta say, I’m kinda into it. I decided to give it a shot myself, see if I could pull it off. Here’s how it went down:
The Inspiration Gathering
First things first, I needed some inspo. I spent, like, a solid hour scrolling through pictures online. I was looking for looks that felt modern, not like I was going to a costume party, you know?
The Closet Dive
Next, I raided my own closet. I figured I needed some basics to start with. Here’s what I pulled out:
- Denim Jacket: A must-have, obviously. I have this slightly oversized one that I thought would be perfect.
- Jeans: I went with a pair of straight-leg, medium-wash jeans. Nothing too skinny, nothing too baggy.
- White T-shirt: A simple, classic white tee seemed like a good base layer.
- Boots: I have these ankle boots that are kinda Western-inspired, with a bit of a heel. They’re not full-on cowboy boots, but they have the right vibe.
Putting It Together
I started with the jeans and the white t-shirt. Pretty basic, right? Then I threw on the denim jacket. Already feeling a little bit cowboy-ish. I cuffed the sleeves of the jacket a couple of times, just to make it look a bit more casual.
Then came the boots. I tucked the jeans into the boots, which I wasn’t sure about at first, but it actually looked pretty cool. It definitely gave the outfit more of that Western feel.
Adding the “Modern” Touches
Okay, so now I had the basic cowboy look, but it needed something more. I wanted to make it feel modern, not like I was heading to a rodeo. Here’s what I did:
- I tried a simple silver necklace.
- I grab my favourite bag.
The Final Verdict
I looked in the mirror, and…I actually liked it! It felt like a good balance between Western and modern. It was comfortable, stylish, and definitely something I could wear out and about. I might even try adding a bandana next time, maybe tied around my neck or in my hair. Or maybe a different hat. We’ll see! It’s a fun style to experiment with, for sure.
