Western boots have made their mark as one of the key shoe trends this season. Whether you’re rewatching Yellowstone or just getting into Ransom Canyon, the cowgirl aesthetic has everyone in its grip. Beyond the screens, the look found its stride on the fall/winter runways, with Versace, Ralph Lauren, Dior, and Schiaparelli all paying homage in the collections to the rugged charm of ranch life with flannels, prairie dresses, silver jewelry, buckled belts, bootcut jeans, and, of course the cowboy boot–the centerpiece of this frontier revival. Our very own October cover saw Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid galloping through verdant fields in Western finery, affirming the notion that fashion loves a horse girl.
Vogue’s Favorite Cowboy Boots:
Reimagined in a modern wardrobe, the cowboy boot is more than just a statement of Americana—it offers an unexpected twist in any outfit, allowing you to tap into the myth of the West, without going full cowgirl.
A failsafe way to style them is inspired by none other than Princess Diana, who once tucked her straight-leg jeans into a pair, teaming them up with a graphic sweatshirt and tailored blazer for a masterclass in refined ease with a little yeehaw inflection. Or look to Bella Hadid, who has seamlessly woven her love for rodeo regalia into her own daily wardrobe—most recently pairing creamy white trousers and a black V-neck with a fringe and studded bag and dark brown cowboy boots. In her own edgy yet minimalist way, Hailey Bieber furthers the boot trend’s versatility. She styled hers with an oversized sweater and mini skirt, letting her boots—and legs—take center stage for a date night with Justin.

Whether you’re out West or stomping city sidewalks, below are the best cowboy boots of the season—find your perfect pair, with outfit ideas to match.
The Tucked-In Jean and Blazer
In true Princess Diana fashion, embrace a sporty preppy look with a cowgirl spin. Style Frame’s straight-leg jeans with Coach’s cowboy boots (don’t forget her iconic tuck), Ralph Lauren’s bear motif crewneck, and Blazé Milano’s houndstooth blazer for an ensemble that feels nostalgic yet new.
The Dress and Cinched Belt
Toughen up Dôen’s paisley dress with Miron Crosby’s black cowboy boots, then add a touch of polish with Banana Republic’s knotted leather belt and Alexis Bittar’s crystal stud earrings.
The Pop of Color
Opposites find their match in this look that’s all about contrast. Pair Gabriela Hearst’s Cantwell ochre-colored coat with Toteme’s grey knit dress and Balenciaga’s Rodeo bag for a look that blends soft comfort with tones of autumnal dressing. Lucchese’s black cherry boots here offers the perfect shade of deep burgundy while adding the unexpected touch of western attitude.
The Boho Style
Isabel Marant, doyenne of boho French girl style, reimagines the cowboy boot through her signature Parisian lens—adding tiered gold buckles and rich suede for a fresh, feminine take on the original silhouette. Style them with Chloé’s black lace mini dress, Jenny Bird’s layered necklace, and the brand’s studded bag for a combination that feels at once free-spirited yet refined.
The Leather Blazer and Jeans
For a modern twist on the cowboy boot, look no further than The Row’s knee-high silhouette. Referential to its rustic roots in the most subtle way, it pairs nicely with Mother’s bootcut jeans, Nili Lotan’s leather blazer, and Khaite’s gold-buckled belt. Proof that a wardrobe built on elevated essentials never goes out of style.
The Mini Dress and Trench
Transitional weather often makes it tricky to strike the balance between style and practicality. Enter the cowboy boot, built to withstand the unpredictable weather shifts and scattered showers while still keeping you in step with the current trends. Try Khaite’s perfectly lived-in boots with Balenciaga’s belted mini dress, layered under Burberry’s navy trench and J. Crew’s classic crewneck for an almost monochrome look that offers timeless functionality.
The Tailored Trouser and Boho Blouse
Straight from Vogue’s fall shopping list, the boho blouse emerges as one of the season’s must-have essentials. Opt for Chloé’s draped and structured take on the style, paired with J.Crew’s sharp black trousers for a clean contrast. For an unexpected twist, slip on Paris Texas’s stacked boots and B-Low the Belt’s big buckle style to tie it all together. The outcome? An easy, elevated outfit that transitions seamlessly from breakfast meetings to fashion-forward dinners.
