Must-have pieces

Cowboy boots: the soul of your look

Western boots remain the centrepiece of any successful cowboy outfit. In 2025, they are being reinvented with soft materials such as suede, pastel colours and even openwork versions for summer. For your first pair, opt for a genuine leather model with discreet embroidery – an investment that will last through the seasons.

Personal shopper anecdote: A customer recently confessed to me that she had been hesitating for months to take the plunge. After trying on camel suede boots with bootcut jeans, she hasn’t taken off her new shoes! The secret? Start with neutral tones that complement your existing wardrobe.

Bootcut jeans: a timeless staple

Western bootcut jeans remain the centrepiece of any outfit.

This cut, specially designed to be worn with boots, shows off your new purchases while elongating your silhouette. Opt for high-waisted jeans with contrasting panels for an authentic western touch.

Shirts and tops: the spirit of the Wild West revisited

Fringed shirts are making a big comeback. Whether bohemian with embroidered details or more classic in denim, they instantly add that sought-after western character. For a balanced look, pair a fringed shirt with more neutral pieces.

Essential accessories: the details that make all the difference

Western belts: the signature accessory

A leather belt with a western buckle instantly transforms any outfit. These handcrafted full-grain leather pieces develop a beautiful patina over time – just like the authentic cowboy belts of yesteryear. Choose a width of 4cm to fit all your belt loops.

Cowboy hats: iconic elegance

The cowboy hat remains the ultimate piece for a successful western look. In 2025, we are seeing a return to felt models for winter and woven straw for summer. To start with, opt for a model in neutral tones that will easily match your outfits.

Fringed bags: the bohemian accessory

Fringed western bags are the perfect complement to your country look. Made from aged leather and decorated with metal conchos, they combine practicality and authenticity. These accessories add movement to your outfit while staying true to the western aesthetic.
How to avoid looking like you’re wearing a costume?

Golden rule: never wear more than two distinctive western pieces at the same time. If you opt for cowboy boots, pair them with a classic shirt rather than a fringed piece. The art of western chic lies in subtlety and balance.

Personal shopper tip: Start by incorporating a single bold Western piece into a contemporary outfit. For example, cowboy boots with skinny jeans and a blazer create a modern look with a touch of Western character.

Western looks for every occasion

Everyday: casual elegance

Pair bootcut jeans with understated Western boots and a white shirt. Add a leather belt for a professional look with a touch of personality.
For evenings: bold western style
Be daring with a bohemian dress, cowboy boots and a felt hat. This combination creates a feminine, rebellious silhouette that’s perfect for country concerts or themed parties.

Festivals and events: embracing authenticity

It’s time to bring out your finest pieces! Fringed shirts, embroidered boots, statement hats and country bags come together to create a complete yet controlled western look.

Colour and material trends

Neutral earth tones dominate 2025: camel, beige, brown and terracotta blend harmoniously. Aged leather, suede and natural materials such as linen bring that sought-after authenticity to modern western style.
Expert advice: Invest in full-grain leather pieces that will age beautifully. These materials develop a unique patina that tells your story, just like the accessories of the real cowboys of yesteryear.
