Fashion’s version of the Wild West was portrayed on runways from Ralph Lauren to Robert Cavalli. These designers used Navajo-style strips, sliver and turquoise jewelry and uptown denim. Cavalli used snakeskin leather from head to toe to embrace the Wild West with models dressed in fangs and feathers.
As most of us are not able to spend the money to pick up some of the top designers pieces, it is a trend that can be easily replicated on a more college friendly budget by cherry-picking some of the key items to depict the frontier lifestyle. This works around the staple items of denim, leather and suede in neutral shades in tan, brown and a white palette.
I spotted this Fashionista walking across campus, embodying an everyday version of this trend. I love the way she paired a midi-maxi skirt with a light denim jacket and a brown satchel to complete the look. Her use of neutral colors was simple and chic and the pop of turquoise in her belt was the perfect touch.
Urban Outfitters has a great selection of neutral dresses, both long and short, when paired with a denim jacketlike the one this Fashionista is wearing, will add a hint of rustic charm. Feathers and beading in accessories are an easy way to include a dash of color to the neutral outfit.
Keep this Fashionista in mind when trying to switch up your look. Denim, leather, and suede in neutrals are all it takes to express a bit of rustic charm.
