Rodeo Western Wear For The Modern Cowboy/girl

By Carl Taylor


When the term Western and Rodeo is mentioned, what usually pops into people s minds is the image of the great outback, people on horseback and the occasional bull here and there that need to be kept under control. But it s the fashion that makes this kind of lifestyle unique as it is. But enjoying the fashion sense of rodeo western wear doesn t mean that a person needs to be a cowboy or cowgirl.

The most famous item in this kind of fashion wear has got to be the hat. Not just any hat but a hat that has become as popular as the people who wear it. It is to members of the Cowboy and Cowgirl community what salt is to pepper. Originally, the hat had a practical use that could be attributed to its shape. A shape that was least likely to blow off into the wind compared to other headpieces that were around at the time and the reason why it was the hat of choice.

And not just a mere fashion statement as it has become now. Just as popular as the hat, the biggest distinguishing factor is the American blue jeans. An item of clothing that became as popular and used as frequently as the miners who popularised it due to the durability of the materials.

For example, the boots play a big role in style but comfort too. For me, the best recommendation, even for those individuals who have no clue on what they re doing is to pick what is known as a square-toed boot with what is known as a walking heel. The reason being is that one will be able to last in them for longer without the pain that accompanies choosing the wrong boot or a heel that s a little bit too high.

The shirt, like any other shirt has the main purpose of covering the upper half of the body but unlike any other shirt. Shorts of this era have a distinctive design. A design that makes them uniquely western and how one can tell that this particular shirt is from that 1940 s and 50 s period and not just any other shirt are through the embroidery that is usually along the back or on the front, just under where one s shoulder plates would be.

Last but not least, what is a cowboy or cowgirl without their hat. The signature staple of what makes the entire culture as recognizable as it is today. That, and a horse. The hat itself has to have distinct features in order for it to be classified as such. It needs to be high crowned and wide-brimmed. A lack of these two features and it is just a hat with nothing special about it.

Although the style of clothing known as Rodeo Western wear can be traced back to the 1940 s and 50 s in America, the style still has a market today, with its own niche of people who enjoy it.

Although this may seem stereotypical, being one would do more good than bad for someone wanting to join such a community.
