Trend: The Western Look is Big This Fall

Watching the designer outfits on the fashion runways is not always the best place to find wearable fashion ideas. Most of the outfits are way too extreme. However, checking out the fashion trends can be helpful. One look that’s hot this fall is the Western/Cowboy theme.It’s all about hats and western scarves worn with leather jackets, belts and bags.

Add a few subtle touches of this Western look to your outfits.  It doesn’t have to be just the casual jean-and-boots look.  Try a Western hat with a long coat over elegant slacks with a stunning pair of boots and throw a western scarf or shawl in to finish the look. Add silver and turquoise jewelery and you have the perfect look for fall 2014.

Here are some ideas you can use to adapt and update your look.

Leather purses. Fringes are in – like this one is from Aquazzura.

Or if you ‘d rather do without the fringes try a saddle bag look:

Ralph Lauren is the obvious place to find examples of this Western look.

If you are on a budget, remember that all the stores will have a version of this look this year. You don’t have to buy the designer label. Try Ross, Marshalls,  TJMaxx and Target.
