The popularity of women’s cowboy boots is undeniable but what are the reasons behind this popularity? According to experts, the no.1 reason is sheer sex appeal. While the design of the cowboy boot is merely functional in origin, all of the features of the shoe are associated with sensuality and often, passion.

Although it is also reminiscent of the hardships in the Old West, today, cowboy boots for women, have a different vibe altogether. Cowboy boots are usually worn by fashionable women and even if they aren’t really bad girls, the bad girl profile is associated with them just because they are wearing cowboy boots. And they turn a few heads –that is undeniable.

Hollywood has had and still has a long standing love affair with the Wild West and along with its sheer sex appeal, cowboy boots for women are also featured in many a western films. According to psychologists, since this time period is so full of passion and romance and often, excitement, lots of women are attracted to western boots. Most of these women wear these boots too.

A Return to a Glorious Past

It is no secret that peoples from allover the globe say that America is just a place for a fast paced life i.e. fast food, e-commerce, etc. This is the reason why many go back to one of the most nostalgic parts of its history –the Old West when life was less harried and people were more adventurous and passionate about the things they do. America as a whole of course is still very passionate about certain things but no longer that passionate or as romantic as the Old West.

Boots are a rather difficult subject and if worn the wrong way can definitely send the wrong signals. When it comes to cowboy boots, women who wear them are either stylish or rugged –either way however they would still look undeniably hot.

If you are talking about boots however i.e. leather, stiletto boots, men are divided. Some say it all depends on the woman wearing these types of shoes. While some look awfully slutty (excuse the term) others can make boots look graceful and stylish. We are guessing this all depends on the whole ensemble and not just how the person wearing the boots pulls off the look.

According to some, boots (and not just cowboy boots) give off a sense of power i.e. power signals probably due to the confidence a woman must have to wear an item. Many women nowadays although they are very modern would still need some preparation before donning something as conspicuous as boots most especially leather boots that have high heels.

Wearing boots or cowboy boots for that matter is an individual thing. It does not necessarily mean that every person who wears them will be able to pull it off. It might be best to refer to photos with styles of cowboy boots and what outfits to wear with them. Individual style is of course important and you must never sacrifice that.

Whatever boots you are planning to wear, make sure that it suits your style and of course the place you are going to.

If you love wearing cowboy boots but work in a corporate environment, it might not be a good idea to wear cowboy boots at all. The question is why or for the more progressive thinkers why not? A lot of people have been complaining about this online (and those that we do not know of, probably complain about it offline)  –why can’t I wear my cowboy boots to work?

While some say it is a dress code violation others think it is one way for you to show you are creative with what you wear. There is no right or wrong answer here ladies and gentlemen, it just depends on the work environment i.e. your work place. If your work place for example allows casual wear and that it does not indicate in the company dress code that you cannot wear cowboy boots then wearing cowboy boots to work should not be a problem at all.

If you work in a prim and proper environment where everyone needs to don business attire type of clothes then your cowboy boots are a big no-no. More often than not, it’s the location that should be taken into consideration in this equation. If you are in Texas, you can most definitely wear cowboy boots just about anywhere and this includes the office unless of course says it’s a no-no.

If you are in New York City for example, you can still wear cowboy boots since pretty much anything goes in this place as long as you do not look like one of those cowboy characters in the movies. Wearing daisy dukes with them may not be appropriate in such a location though so basically it’s all about how you put your outfit together. One has to pay attention to what clothes are required at the workplace though.

As what any modern woman would say, a woman needs a few (sometimes more than a few) pairs of shoes and most of the time, we would get pairs that have very high heels and pairs that aren’t heeled. When it comes to cowboy boots however boot height is something you should always factor in.

Ankle Boots. They are quite fashionable and very comfortable too. They look great with pants and mini skirts.

Mid Calf Boots. This type of boots work great with many people but make sure that your legs are long enough to not look too short with these boots. They are quite flattering though if you know how to wear them. Your skirt should be below the knees though when wearing mid calf boots. You may also want to wear them with a great pair of jeans –that would surely look good on you whether you tuck the jeans in or the jeans over the boots.

KneeHigh Boots. Knee high boots are very sophisticated and can look quite nice even with on petite women as long as the skirt is a mini. If you think you are too short to wear knee high boots, it would be best to not wear them at all.

Over The Knee Boots. Now these can only be worn by those who are tall enough to don them. No one is stopping you if you want to wear over the knee boots but be sure to get the right size so it does not go up to your waist –which would be utterly mad.

The height of the heels is an important factor too. The only thing you should remember about this is making sure that you will be able to walk in those heels –if you are unable to walk in them, don’t buy them.

For women, it is always nice if you tuck in your pants into your boots because it would make you look real sexy. Doing this is a rather popular thing and it does not get old.

Mini skirts also look good with boots so make sure you have a few that go well with the cowboy boots you have. All you need is a nice shirt to go with it. The shirt does not have to be fancy –a simple dress shirt for women would look both casual and classy when paired with cowboy boots.  Long skirts also look nice with boots just as long as the skirts are ankle length. Dresses also go well with cowboy boots. In fact, you can even wear summer dresses with cowboy boots –they are all the rave in Hollywood.

For men, cowboy boots are great with jeans, a nice dress shirt and cowboy boots. Baggy jeans do not go well with cowboy boots so be sure to choose which jeans you should wear.

You can wear a vest or a leather jacket if you feel like –this will make the whole ensemble look much better. Your belt should match the color of your cowboy boots too because if it doesn’t, it definitely will ruin the whole look.

The world of fashion says that cowboy boots are still deemed fashionable for this year so fashionistas out there should not lock away their cowboy boots in the storage.

If you are clueless as to how to wear cowboy boots, here are 3 tricks on how to pull them off.

1. Wear Them Under Your Jeans. This is one of the most effective ways of pulling off cowboy boots giving those who are hesitant in wearing them a chance to actually wear cowboy boots.
2. Flaunt Those Boots. We say a big yeeehhaaa to this one because cowboy boots should be worn to be seen or noticed. Apart from their durability, cowboy boots are a work of art so flaunt them. You can wear them over your skinny jeans or get a nice skirt to go with it. Tights and leggings are also a good way to show off those boots.
3. Wear them with a dress. Dresses are cute with cowboy boots because they make dresses look very casual and comfortable. You would have to pay attention to the accessories you will be using though.

What You Should Avoid

Now, now, I know you think wearing them with your Daisy Dukes is a good way to wear them but if you do, please do not wear a plaid shirt with it especially if you are not in a city or a town that does not see such outfits on a regular basis. You would not want to look like you are wearing a costume or anything but then again, if you are comfortable in wearing the whole fringed vest regalia, no one should stop you to. Do keep our advice in mind though.

Popularly worn by women putting a pair of cowboy boots with any outfit will make a statement. The trick is to properly pull it off without making your outfit look like a costume. When going out and purchasing your first pair of cowboy boots, there are a few things to think about: style, material, and color. If you are looking for a more traditional look stick with the pointed toe leather calf-length boots. By getting the leather style boot, it gives you the option to choose any color. The most popular colors are black, brown, white and red. If you want the more untraditional look stick with suede rounded or square tip, and ankle length. This can give you a more fashionista look, but suede requires more up kept.

The most important thing to remember about accessorizing with cowboy boots is to keep it simple. If you want to be more conservative, stay with jeans that are either boot cut or flared. If you are more daring and want to make a statement, pair it with a dress or some tights. Not only has it been seen on college campuses, Hollywood has taken a bite at the western bubble. Celebrities like Cameron Diaz and Jessica Simpson are rocking a pair of cowboy boots.

For diehard cowboy boots and college fans, you can even sport your favorite school on a pair of boots. The brand Nocona® Boots has a line of college inspired boots.
