Try The Trend Tips
Ready to wrangle yourself a pair of cowboy boots, here are a few tips to help you avoid looking like an extra in a country Western film.
Avoid going totally cowboy themed; don’t pair cowboy boots with plaid or cowboy hats. Because this look can get costume-ish quick, be careful what you pair your boots with.
Don’t be afraid of bold colored boots, like red, mint green or pink. Just make sure your bright boots are the highlight of your outfit. Don’t pair your bright boots with stripes, loud patterns or contrasting colors.
Take care of your boots; if you buy a high quality pair of cowboy boots they might set you back a pretty penny. However, it will be worth it if you take care of the leather and store them properly after you wear them.
