In one season, cowboy boots are trending, and in the next they are no longer so popular, but if you are pleased with their look and like the feel of cowboy boots on your feet, you can wear them regardless of the season. For cowboy boots to look harmonious, you need to skillfully complement their western country style with fashionable details.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: For men

1. 1 Wear patterned boots over jeans. For example, high-toed vaquero boots are often elaborately decorated. If the tops of the shoes are worked out in detail, this is a sure sign that the boots should be worn, revealing the decorative elements. However, wearing chunky boots over jeans to an upscale restaurant or job interview might not be a good idea. These shoes are best worn in a casual setting or in establishments that embrace Western style.
2. 2 Wear casual boots underneath your jeans. Cowboy boots usually work best under jeans, unless you work on a farm or ranch and need the practical benefits of a high toe boot.A distinctive feature of cowboy boots is the prominent forefoot, so even if the boots are not fully visible, you can add a western touch to your look by wearing them.
3. 3 Make sure your pants are long enough. Pants should reach the heel or be slightly longer, but in no case dragged along the floor. Pants that do not reach the heel are considered too short. Remember that most cowboy boots have a higher heel than regular boots, so your favorite jeans may not be long enough.
   • Choose jeans that are pleated. If the jeans are slightly longer than the heel height, a crease forms along the leg at the top of the boot. It depends on your taste, but this detail gives the appearance a bit of roughness, and as a rule, most men prefer this option.
4. 4 Choose pants with a straight or slightly widened tops. Straight jeans have wide legs with a uniform width along the entire length of the leg, while jeans of the second type are slightly widened at the bottom. Flared jeans are out of fashion, so it's best to avoid them. Slightly flared and straight jeans provide more than enough room for your boots.
5. 5 Choose jeans in classic colors. Medium and navy blue jeans are generally considered the most versatile and go well with cowboy boots, but black, beige, or brown jeans can work well as well, provided the boots match the shade. Blue jeans may look a little dated, but unusual colors like white or green should be avoided.
6. 6 Try on a pair of khaki pants over polished cowboy boots. If you have a pair of more trendy cowboy boots, you can wear khaki casual or business pants instead of jeans. This combination will be especially successful if you polish your boots to a shine. Try on khaki straw or tan pants with traditional brown, tan or cognac boots. Choosing a combination with gray or olive tones of trousers, opt for black boots or dark cherry color.
7. 7 Replace classic shoes with cowboy boots. For a more formal look, leather boots in brown, black or dark cherry color (provided they are well cared for) can even be worn under suit pants. Make sure your employer has no shoe requirements before you come to work in this outfit, as even classic cowboy boots are still cowboy boots.
8. 8 Don't worry about it being inappropriate. You don't have to wear a large cowboy hat and plaid shirts (although they will certainly look great together). But if you go too far, your outfit might look like a stage costume rather than casual wear. If you choose to wear something like a cowboy hat, make sure you feel comfortable wearing it, no matter what the people around you think of you.

Method 2 of 2: For women

1. 1 Choose your favorite material and color. Classic cowboy boots are leather, while traditional colors are shades of brown and black. Although today you can find leather boots in other colors: for example, white or red. Leather boots can look casual or classic, depending on their condition and what you wear to complement them. You can also wear suede boots, which look more elegant, but these boots are easier to care for.
2. 2 Pay attention to the style and shape of your boots. Ankle-length pointed toe cowboy boots are the most classic. Nowadays, however, you can find shorter-toed cowboy boots like boots, or you can get rounded or square-toed boots as well.
3. 3 Wear cowboy boots underneath your jeans to replace high-heeled shoes. The heel height of the boots matches the heel height of classic shoes, and the toe looks like casual but elegant shoes. When you wear jeans or trousers over cowboy boots, it is better to choose a model with a wider cut - for example, trousers that are widened from the knee or from the hip. Pay attention to the length of the jeans: they should cover most of the boot.
4. 4 Wear cowboy boots over skinny jeans. Skinny jeans fit tightly around your leg, and trying to cover your boots with them will only make your legs look bulky and awkward. For the best results, wear cowboy boots over these jeans.
   • This combination looks great, especially if skinny jeans and cowboy boots are complemented by a chic modern jacket or blazer.
5. 5 To add femininity to your look, pair cowboy boots with loose dresses in flowy fabric. Loose, light, oversized dresses with ruffles are very feminine and create an interesting contrast to the strict and rough cowboy boots. Instead of a long dress that hides your boots, opt for a knee-length or taller dress to reveal them.
6. 6 Try wearing your boots with a classic dress. A little black dress paired with black or sheer tights and black cowboy boots can look surprisingly tight and sexy. Pairing boots with a simple dress with a simple tailored cut is a great way to add a playful touch to an elegant piece.
7. 7 Try wearing cowboy boots with leggings or tights. If you are wearing boots with a long shirt, skirt, or dress, you can wear leggings in cooler weather. The key is not to get carried away. Bright leggings can work with simple boots without any embellishments, but the rest of the details and garments should be simple so as not to clash with your shoes.
8. 8 Dress simply. Regardless of the neckline you wear, the patterns and colors of your clothes should be relatively modest. Cowboy boots are an attribute that emphasizes your personality, especially if you wear them in a way that they are completely exposed. Boots with a flashy pattern will make your outfit obtrusive and vulgar.
9. 9 Feel free to look too traditional. Cowboy boots look great with short shorts and summer tops - this classic combination looks really cute. But if you don't want to pay so much attention to the provincial roots of your cowboy boots, you can add a western touch to your outfit in an unconventional way. For example, you can wear a trendy plaid scarf or camouflage accessories.

Tips

• It is customary to wear knee-highs for boots under cowboy boots. They are tall, dense, completely cover the calves and protect the legs from friction. Moreover, most of them have an elastic band at the top, so they do not slide down or get knocked down inside the boot, like regular socks do.
• Remember, provincial people don't pay attention to what other people think. Follow their example.
