Western is having a moment, y'all. Western aesthetics are celebrated in new and exciting ways, such as television, music and, especially, fashion. New York Fashion Week Spring 2025 showcased many cowboy-inspired looks with fringe, denim and statement belts from designers Ralph Lauren and Patricio Campillo. It's exciting to see Western fashion be embraced by diverse communities that challenge the historical narratives tied to the Western aesthetic. With style icons like Bella Hadid, Beyonce and Little Nas X, there are so many examples of celebrities incorporating Western aesthetics. Cowboy boots, mixed denim and vintage florals are easy ways for the everyday person to incorporate Western style into their daily wardrobe. As Western aesthetics continue to evolve and modernize, it's clear that cowboy-inspired fashion is not going anywhere.
