OUR GUIDE TO GETTING RODEO READY

Forget the buckin’ broncs, barrel races, and bull riding, everyone knows all eyes are on the attire! Even if it really is your first rodeo, this tried-and-true checklist will have you outfitted like an old pro.

TIMELESS TOPPER

A cowboy hat is about as personal as it gets in terms of a Western wardrobe – it’s gotta suit you in terms of size, shape, and style – so whether you’re going traditional or trendy, clean and classic or decked out and dazzling, there’s no wrong way to do it, just make sure your topper is true to you.

TROPHY BUCKLE

It’s what the rodeo’s all about, right? You don’t have to have earned yours in the arena (although major kudos to you if you did!), but a showstopping buckle is key to cowgirl couture. You can’t go wrong with a colorful turquoise cluster, but we encourage you to turn up the twang with a statement-sized scrolled sterling silver.

BAD*SS BOOTS

Put your best foot forward. Your kicks (quite literally) set the tone to your swagger, so don’t be afraid to build your outfit from the bottom up!

Everything in between is up to you. A perfect pair of jeans, a classic broom skirt, or maybe you’re in the mood for a head-turning hair-on-hide mini. A sleek silk pearl snap, a fringe or fur vest, or a bold biker jacket. Finish it off with a wild rag, a beautiful bolo, or a squash blossom necklace, sprinkle it with a little cowgirl confidence, and serve up some statement style!
