Cowgirl Up

It is with great pleasure that I report that Cowgirl Couture is cropping up all around us. From fashion magazines and shopping malls to online and local retailers, southwestern-inspired clothing is in abundance this fall.

Designers such as Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel have been ramping up the trend on the runways for a few years now by blending equestrian, Native American and Ranch wear features into a wild west meets urban cowgirl panache.

Even O.P.I. entered the game by offering its Texas line of nail polishes.

Lucky for us, these haute couture designs have brought leather, cowhide, fringe and ruffles into mainstream cowgirl chic. Just lasso some boots, broomstick skirts, shawls or ponchos, and blanket coats and you’re set for the season. The horse is optional.
