For many fashion enthusiasts, trying out fads and watching these fads take hold longer than expected, is quite fun. In fact, it may even fun to figure out how they have stayed on so long. Most fads fade as fast as they entered the market but others just stay on –even for centuries. A pair of cowboy boots is a good example of a fad that started with a small community of cowboys probably somewhere in Spain or in Latin America.

According to NY Times writer Carrie Donovan in an article she wrote about cowboy boots in the early 90s, women have worn these types of shoes for some time. She admitted that it is definitely difficult to miss the increasing popularity of cowboy boots. One has to keep in mind that the said NY Times article was written in the 90s and it’s already 2012 and cowboy boots are still very much popular among men and women alike. Kids even wear them so this makes them universal in a way and it’s not just the west that loves these boots –lots of men and women from allover the world wear these boots.

Come to think of it, women have been wearing cowboy boots for some time –from the classic designs to uber sexy thigh high ones. Other popular styles include midcalf high boots or ones that are chopped off right at the ankles also known as ankle boots.

If you are thinking of buying a pair of cowboy boots, you should take a look at boots at Boot City.

One of our favorites from Boot City is this Tony Lama Ladies Cowhide Vaquero Cowboy Boot in Black Vail. If you buy it today, you will save $10 from your purchase. The underslung heels are 1 and ¾ inch high.

Cowboys won’t be caught dead in loafers but some do wear them. However, it is interesting to note that preppies and yuppies won’t wear cowboy boots on a daily basis especially in a city where cowboy boots are nothing but a fad. A fad you say? Yes. Apparently, in some cities, cowboy boots are not really deemed as appropriate for daily wear especially if you are in the corporate world. This is sad but hey, those who can’t wear cowboy boots everyday can always take a look at these beautiful cowboy boots from Boot City or from any other store online that carry cowboy boots. You must make sure though that the place you will be buying your boots from are reputable online stores.

Cowboy boots are sexy but cowboys are sexier, don’t you agree? They are always sexy both in their cowboy hats or their cowboy boots but mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the sexiest cowboy of them all? You decide.

Imagine this cowboy riding with his top down, or his top off rather. If that isn’t hot, what is?

Well we all know that cowboys are friendly with the horses in a horse whisperer kind of way but they sure are friendly with the ladies. Cowboys are real gentlemen really and are oh-so-dreamy.

Alright, here’s another cowboy with his top off. Cowboys don’t need to take their tops off to look sexy really but if it’s hot out, why stop them?

What do cowboys do after a good lunch? Chew on hay maybe but whether they chew on hay or smoke a cigarette, it still looks very sexy. We do not mean to put photos with cowboys with their tops off but really ladies, these photos look super awesome. Now it makes me want to go to Boot City and buy a new pair of cowboy boots.

Now this one is for the ladies who focus on the face and the cowboy hat! A nice felt hat made from pure beaver fur is a wonderful addition to every cowboy’s wardrobe. A cute, boyish face is also a wonderful thing (sorry, can’t help it). For the ladies who would like to buy a cowboy hat, getting a Stetson is always the best choice. There are other hats one can take a look at though and some are also of great quality. A Stetson Malibu or a Stetson Durango are fine choices for a cowboy hat, so what are you waiting for? Search for cowboy hats now and get your hands on one if you do not have one yet.

The popularity of cowboy movies is undeniable and because of this popularity, the cowboy culture has become quite an influence in terms of fashion. The most important thing about cowboy culture isn’t just the hat but the cowboy boots. According to an article published by the Los Angeles Daily News, stamps honoring cowboy legends such as Gene Autry, Tom Mix, William S. Hart and Roy Rogers is proof enough how much we care about cowboy culture and of course, how much we care about cowboy boots. No one has confirmed though if Mix, Hart, Rogers or Autry ever wore Justin boots –cowboy boots rather popular at the time.

Although we know that the cowboy movie legend Tom Mix died in his cowboy boots and his diamond studded belt buckle, no one has confirmed what brand he wore. Whichever the case, many are interested in what cowboys from long ago wore. One thing is for sure though, the cowboy boots they wore are most definitely sturdy.
