HOW THE WEST WAS WORN

Interest in cowgirl couture hit a peak last year with Balmain’s capsule collection inspired by Netflix Western TheHarderThey Fall. The look has since filtered down to the streets. We’re seeing fringing on leather jackets, shearling vests, denims, paisley scarves, Western boots and lots of widebrimmed Stetsons. Balance the prairie vibe with sharp silhouettes, pops of colour and sleek accessories like an envelope clutch.

Double the denim on your rodeo-ready look. A leather coat with a flame motif, cinched with a cowboy belt, steers clear of being costumey
