The western trend has been bubbling under the surface for a few seasons but over the last few months it’s made a prominent play for the top spot. From western shirts and engraved buckle belts to saddle bags and cowboy boots, it’s easy to add some western details to an everyday look.
Over the years, I’ve been gradually adding more and more western accessories to my wardrobe, not necessarily seeking them out but always being drawn to them in vintage shops. I recently picked up a pair of vintage cowboy boots in Paris for just 16 euros but that purchase warrants a dedicated styling post to itself. Today I’m talking about this awesome shirt that I got from Rokit when I was working at their head office earlier this year.
Made in Mexico, this on-trend ivory shirt is the perfect alternative to its classic white counterpart. In an oversized fit (on me anyway!) with super long sleeves (that look super cool pushed up), it’s an easy throw-on-and-go piece that looks great with a pair of jeans for that added western vibe. What I particularly love are the western details on the shirt; the contrast brown and white striped piping in an oh-so western shape across the back, the chest pockets and its cool cream buttons, which I always say look like maggots, ha!

I paired it with some white jeans with a distressed hem that were a kind gift from 7ForAllMankind. These jeans are great (#notspon) – super soft, high waisted with a slim leg and they wash really well. I love how the off-white of the shirt looks with the bright white of the jeans – it’s a look that I’ve loved all summer long, making it the perfect way of transitioning into the new season.
To add more western details, I finished off the look with my Coach saddle bag. Its gorgeous deep burgundy colour stands out against the all white outfit and goes well with the red clogs that I chose for another colour pop.
I hope you've enjoyed this styling post and I'll see you next week for another one! How are you injecting western details into your look this season? X

Great outfit! And the traditional Swedish clogs add a nice non-traditional pop to it – I like the red colour 🙂
