Cowboy Boots in the City? Why Western Style Is Trending

As lockdowns lift, Western wear is becoming increasingly popular among urbanites. For some, the clothes represent freedom. For others, they’re just good, stylish fun.

100hands wants to be on the short list

Gotta admit I somewhat like this, though I still think western shirts shouldn't be this recherché.

I don’t really see why not though. Tom Ford quite successfully pulls off a luxury cowboy look and frankly it seems more authentic to who he is than dressing up like he’s about to do some serious ranch-hand work.

If you live in NYC or LA and work in finance or entertainment, it makes sense to me.

Does TF wear cowboy boot or just Chelsea?

Well Tom was born in Austin and lived in Texas until he moved to NM so he did spend a decent chunk of his childhood in the southwest. Him being a little western make sense.

If the Wall Street Journal is on this, then it's already dying, if not dead.

Since this is how I've always dressed anyway, at least I will be "in style" for a few months without needing to spend money to upgrade my wardrobe. Then I will go back to being that guy who is still wearing all those out of style western things that nobody wears anymore now that everyone else is dressing the full [motorcycle hooligan/sailor/WWII army officer/lumberjack] looks..

You live in Houston. No one is going to bat an eye when you wear your western clothes.

Unless one was born in a cowboy state (Ford was) why would he/she be wearing western? When I read NYC or LA ... working in finance or entertainment ... wearing western getup ... I think C.O.S.T.U.M.E.

I just do NOT get this. It has me laughing ... in a fun way.

All casual wear is costume if comparing genealogy to use case. The real question is if one is wearing it as costume.

I’m not trying to dress like a cowboy or rancher. I’m just dipping into westernwear for some specific ideas. Nothing new about this.

When you realize that all clothing, formal or casual, is equally costume, then you can join the chosen Unclothed.

Foo often wrangles us into his threads, so he's kind of a cowboy

Spoiler

im sorry

Holy **** this is an epic tome. Which one did foo decide on?

I assume based on your post that you are looking for a western style shirt. But will you be wearing the entire "getup" as I've heard it called in Montana when worn by someone to whom the style of dress is rather foreign?


When I see you in CM you look right at home to me. But the one photo I've seen of you in leather strikes me as stiff (although not costume). I'll have to see you in western.
