Western wear is fairly rare in today's society - especially for women. You won't see many people wearing cowboy hats in New York City these days.

Not withstanding the Calgary Stampede event which happens in July every year, and a number of other events around the province and other areas of the world - it's fairly rare. Except down south.
We're talking about Texas and the other southern states. And even then, you won't see many wearing the kind of clothes found on Calgary Stampede Princesses or Miss American Rodeo Princesses.
What kind of clothes do they wear? Great question, so I searched it out: Dark or medium wash bootcut jeans paired with a classic pearl-snap western shirt.
Denim shirt dresses or midi styles worn with leather or suede cowgirl boots. Double denim ensembles featuring a fitted denim vest or jacket over matching jeans.
Boho Cowgirl & Festival GlamLace-trim or tiered midi dresses worn under an oversized cardigan or fringe jacket with knee-high boots.
Bustiers or halter tops matched with flowy maxi skirts and wide-brim western hats. Suede fringe jackets layered over minimalist mini dresses or casual graphic tees.
Modern Ranch & Street Style
Tailored blazers or embroidered jackets thrown over simple tees and relaxed-fit jeans.
Monochromatic or neutral color palettes (black, chocolate brown, and cream) using subtle leather accessories, statement concho belts, and stitched boots.
So what are some western-themed festivals? The Calgary Stampede is also known as the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," featuring a world-class rodeo, chuckwagon races, agriculture showcases, and evening grandstand shows every July.
