The Western footwear brings an Americana flair to summer style.

After over a year of spending copious amounts of time dressed in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/slouchy-suit-trend-80s-spring-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sweats</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/plush-sandals-spring-shoe-trend-instagram-influencers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slippers</a>, the imminent return to normalcy has come hand in hand with the revival of the most outlandish, possibly a bit odd, but overall fun fashion trends, and cowboy boots embody the height of such optimistic exhibitionism.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The popularity of the cowboy boot, a fashion item originally associated with the horse-riding ranch hand for which it is named, has been socially reconceptualized as a symbol of the Americana, whether out in Wild West or on the runway.
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cowgirl-trend-western-boots-hats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Western-inspired styles</a> have been circulating in fashion since 2017, with collections from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/anna-sui-fall-winter-2021-nyfw-jane-birkin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anna Sui</a>, Rodarte, and later <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/calvin-klein-collection-pride-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Calvin Klein</a>. Then, alongside the cultural phenomenon of &ldquo;Old Town Road&rdquo; by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/lil-nas-x-viral-moments-birthday-rapper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lil Nas X</a> and Mitski&rsquo;s 2018 album Be the Cowboy, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/compton-cowboys-tommy-hilfiger-spring-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new American cowboy</a> became associated with an inclusive Western aesthetic.&nbsp;This is apparent in the universal embrace of cowboy boots by everyone from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rihanna-asap-rocky-relationship-confirmed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A$AP Rocky</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gigi-hadid-new-mom-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gigi Hadid</a>. The fun, funky adaptations of the traditional boot, which now comes in a range of colors, prints, and materials, reflect this more liberated view of the cowboy and cowgirl. 
As for how to style them, wear them over sweats like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/princess-diana-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Princess Diana</a> or with a summer dress like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/supermodel-home-interior-design" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kendall Jenner.</a> After finding your dream pair here, the cowboy boot will be the only shoe you&rsquo;ll wear this summer.&nbsp;
