This summer, the beaches are for more than sunbathing and the mountains are for more than hiking—coastal cowgirl style means you can add some west coast energy to the beachy shore and even to your living room.
So you know a trend is serious when the Something Navy girls cameo on the streets of NYC and super celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Sydney Sweeney stop swooshing around in their stilettos for cowboy boots; here are some examples of how cowboy boots are hotter than a July afternoon in Texas, a typical day of the month, by the way. Oh and the home decorators who are transforming their city condos into beachfront saloons. Yee-haw, yall, here we go talking about this fantastic fusion of fashion and interior styling!
The coastal cowgirl trap the Celebrity Stampede
The coastal cowgirl trend seamlessly fuses cowgirl grit with coastal chill. It’s as if someone put all the cowgirls on vacation and took them to the beach despite the fact that they brought their hats and boots.
Kendall Jenner She’s been “coastal cowgirling” all over Instagram in that iconic pair of cowboy boots & bikinis. If in reality this look means, “I may surf today or perhaps horse-riding on the beach? I haven’t decided yet.”
Suki Waterhouse & Camila Morrone In full ‘Daisy Jones & the Six’ mode, these two have taken on denim and white button-downs that were ordained a few years at Coachella, obviously.
At some point we can both agree on, Lori Harvey: Bringing the western vibes to tropical lands, Lori was seen making a press release in an orange bikini and a straw cowboy hat. How about this lovely desert-inspired hat for the beach look.
Sydney Sweeney: This Bardot eyelet skirt and top aren’t doing Sydney any favours and the look is more ‘California girl goes country’ than ‘farmhand at a beach party’.
Kim Kardashian: Never one to shy away from a current wave, Kimmy K hit up social media rocking a black cowboy hat, proudly announcing “not my first rodeo. I had no idea that rodeos could be so posh!
Beyoncé & Yellowstone: Heck, even Queen Bey and popular TV shows are giving a nod to this trend, a little celeb endorsement is wilder than a buckin’ bronco.
