Western Charm
Inspired by the rough, rugged terrain of the Wild West, a Western-inspired aesthetic has been making its way into wardrobes everywhere — their standout details and maximalist appeal encourages one to go bolder with their style choices. The aesthetic fuses durable utility with a gritty, edgy look, which translates well to a variety of wearable silhouettes.
Cowboy Core
The traditional cowboy boot, well-loved for its sturdy and practical construction, has been reinterpreted for modern wear. Biker-inspired elements like straps and metallic hardware lend themselves well to the knee-high silhouette, giving it a sleek yet hardy look. Raised heels and platforms further streamline the profile, making these boots a versatile option that can be dressed up or down.
Going Equestrian
Another key facet of the Western aesthetic is the utilitarian elegance of the horse-riding world. Horseshoe buckles and grommet detailing impart a tailored polish to everyday silhouettes, as seen on the Kirke double-strap sandals. The loafer-like profile of the Kirke flatform mules present an effortless take on the preppy style, made distinct with Western motifs on the buckles. They will strike a cool contrast against flowy garments like skirts and dresses.
In the City
For a subtler way of incorporating the trend, details will make all the difference. The grommet straps of the Masei Mary Janes give the feminine shoe style a distinctive Western influence. They will pair well with your favourite denim and fringe pieces to create a sophisticated, eye-catching combination.
