Western-Inspired Style for Summer
Your guide to rodeo-ready denim.
From outdoor concerts to weekends at the Calgary Stampede, Western-inspired style is everywhere this summer. The trick is keeping it grounded: denim that feels authentic, pieces that layer well, and just enough nods to the classics. Here's how to build a look that works for the event, and every day after.
Start with Denim That Sets the Tone
The right jeans do all the heavy lifting. Bootcut and straight-leg fits instantly bring in that Western energy, while relaxed shorts keep things easy for long days outside. Go for medium to dark washes with subtle fades or stitching, nothing too flashy, everything with purpose.
Layer Like You Mean It
When it comes to denim shorts, all you need is a pair of stilettos, sandals, or sneakers to switch the vibe entirely. From curve-hugging silhouettes to relaxed fits, there’s no one way to wear them, and that’s the point. Tuck in a tee, throw on a crop top, or layer with something oversized. Whether you lean structured or soft, the best summer shorts for women are the ones that work with your mood, your closet, and your plans. No styling stress, just good options.
Let Accessories Do the Work
You don’t need a full Western kit to feel on-theme. A strong belt, a simple bandana, a solid pair of boots. Just one or two details go a long way. If your denim does the talking, the rest is just backup.
Whether you're dressing for the Stampede or just chasing that laid-back Western feel, it all starts with the right denim. Explore the styles made for summer, and whatever comes with it.
