Saddle Up: How to Style Cowboy Boots this Winter
Published on:
Cowboy boots are making a major impact right now – and Clarks’ collection of Western-inspired boots bring a fresh, twist to these iconic styles.
Here are our tips and tricks on how to wear cowboy boots this season.
Everyday Styling: Boots, Brunch, and Beyond
Combining comfort, style and personality, the humble cowboy boot is having a massive moment this season. Embrace this trend while running errands, grabbing coffee with friends, or exploring the city in boots made for walkin’.
For a relaxed off-duty look, Clarks’ Morzine Rise boots in classic black leather or dark sand suede are the way to go. With their low, stacked heel and classic pull-on design, these boots are rodeo-style ready. For that Bella Hadid blend of country and city aesthetics, style these cowboy boots with flowy, bohemian-inspired dresses and leather jackets to strike that balance between urban cool and country chic.
If you want a subtler nod to the cowboy trend, an ankle boot brings plenty of rustic charm without taking centre stage. It’s all about hardware this season – buckles, straps and metal accents are everywhere. Our Neva Buckle boots have it all: rich dark brown leather with a taped block heel and a cowboy-inspired strap with stich detailing. These boots go with everything, so get creative and take inspiration from the runways with denim flares, brown suede jackets, oversized shirts and chunky belt buckles.
From Coffee Runs to Country Roads: Cowboy Boots for Work and Play
Think wearing cowboy boots to the office might raise eyebrows? Think again. This season is all about balancing classic western elements with modern sophistication. Opt for sleek, structured pieces that tone down the ruggedness of the boots, so they feel appropriate for a professional setting.
If you prefer ankle boots that give a more streamlined silhouette, Morzine Sky Ankle Boots in black leather fuse western-inspired design with contemporary minimalism. Sleek and versatile, their pointed toes make them perfect to peek out from wide-leg black trousers. The black leather finish keeps every look smart, making sure cowboy boots feel sophisticated at work.
A fusion of the timeless Chelsea boot and the trending cowboy boot, our Morzine Top boots in tan leather or black suede are the most versatile style of the year. The pointed toe, metal accents and stitch detailing are a classic tribute to the cowboy boot, whilst the tall silhouette and slim lines bring understated elegance to this day-to-night shoe. The plush cushioned footbed and ultra-wearable heel make this style ideal for the office, the bar or a weekend walk in the park.
Cowboy Boot Styling 101: Essential Tips to Keep in Mind
The beauty of cowboy boots lies in their versatility. They can make a bold statement, but they can also be a subtle style accent when paired with the right pieces. Here are a few tips to help you incorporate cowboy boots into your wardrobe with ease:
1. Keep it Balanced
Cowboy boots have a distinctive silhouette, so it’s try balancing them with more tailored or fitted clothing. If you’re wearing a looser dress or wide-leg trousers, opt for a more fitted top or jacket to create a streamlined look. For boot-cut jeans or flares, an oversized jumper or trench coat can offer contrast while complementing your outfit.
2. Stick to Classic Colours
Cowboy boots in neutral tones – such as brown, black, or tan – are the easiest to style and pair well with lots of colours and textures. Neutral cowboy boots act as a grounding element, whether you’re teaming them with denim, leather, or softer materials like silk and cashmere.
3. Mix ‘n’ Match Textures
The rugged texture of cowboy boots pairs well with a variety of fabrics. Try contrasting the boots with softer materials like silk, satin, or wool for a high-low mix that feels both contemporary and chic. A silk dress paired with cowboy boots strikes a perfect balance between feminine and edgy.
4. Let the Boots Steal the Show
Cowboy boots are often the focal point of an outfit, so you might like to keep your other accessories simple. A structured bag or minimal jewellery makes sure the boots are the highlight without overwhelming your ensemble.
