Quintessential Western Wear

     Rodeo themed gatherings of designers and their muses, filled with more fringe and denim than Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show are popping up around the country, espousing the virtues of the quintessential American inspired attire. Everyone wants to jump on that train! 

     But without having to go full buckaroo, there are a few special touches that can update even your ordinary wardrobe and have you kicking up your heels with the rest of them!

     Keeping up with true cowgirl tradition, boots tooled from full-grained premium leather will strike just the right western note. There are lots of selections from Pecos Bill classics to Macie Bean’s innovative designs, like these ‘How the West was Fun’ boot. 

                  Finding the pair to match your style won’t be difficult!

     Perhaps a hair on hide belt is what you need to incorporate the essence of the American spirit into your outfit. In Black, brown, white and exotic colors, these attractive wardrobe accents bring a little bling and carry embellishments of conchos, crystals and stylish buckles. 

     Fringe is showing up everywhere from dresses to t-shirt sleeves, to vests and bags, and we have some of all of these to fill your New Western needs! 

     When considering these choices, remember less is more. One or two pieces are enough to bring you into line with current fashion without making yourself look like you are going to a costume party. Even authentic lifestyle cowgirls know when to dial it back.

     No matter which accents you choose to buck up your style, you can find plenty to choose from at Sierra Western Wear, Be sure to check our Coming Soon and new arrivals regularly for your best selection!

 

Your Personal Western Style

     

     
     Western influences are seeping into fashion beyond just spring of 2014. Look out for a turn towards tall boots and blanket capes as the cooler weather approaches. For those looking to simply mimic the interpretation of Western Wear, this isn’t going to be the easiest look to find. But for those of us that live the authentic Western lifestyle, choices abound! 

      There are some elements of style you can add to the traditional looks to keep you updated without coming across as a city slicker yourself. The monochrome Johnny Cash look might be a bit affected, but accents of western embroidery, and other embellishments can add the final touch to any outfit. Less is always more!

    Fashions affair with minimalism for the past few season has brought clean cuts, pristine white and a lighter application of details, but today's great boho leather accessories can keep you grounded. Fill in with accents of silver and leather.

   Still, keep accessories down to one or two. A great belt, detailed boots, or a simple hat can be just the right touch. 

   Whether your choice is more minimalistic or you prefer over the top, there are lots of options to be found at Sierra Western Wear. 

Gypsy Soule brings us exciting accent jewelry while pumping up the color volume in their selection of shirts and tops, Rock & Roll Cowgirl keeps it classic and classy with crystal and stud trims and Bex helps you see it all clearly. Our extensive selection of your favorite Western Wear Brands virtually insures you will find something to help you define, or re-define,  your style!

Cowgirl Meets Showgirl?

      

     Thinking they are Cowgirls at heart, Models on the spring 2014 runways were trying to show they were bold and ballsy in wearing their modern interpretation of Western Wear. Attempting to merge classic American Western with pin-up style and 90’s grunge, they weren’t too clear on what direction they were heading.  

     Here at Sierra Western Wear, we’re pretty sure it wasn’t the barn!
     
     While they didn’t just step onto the runway wearing a shimmy of fringe and snakeskin boots, they walked out with their hands clutching low-slung thick leather belts that were supposed to make them look a little more authentic. We do have to wonder, authentic ‘what’?

      

     Beaded fringe and some denim thrown in the mix did give the impression of the West, but it was the New York City version. Most of you Cowgirls know what that means!

Still, it never hurts to add a little high fashion in the mix; and we have our own ideas of how that would look. What are your pics for the new season?

     
We have a few favorites of our own, but you won’t find them on any high fashion runway. Real Cowgirls and Cowboys are too busy gettin’ the job done to fuss with some of the trends currently being shown. But smart Adiktd Denim with strong seams and a little bling paired with an Aztec print  top will take you to the best steakhouse around!  

    Come on in to Sierra Western Wear and see what’s on the western fashion menu this season. Keep up with us on Facebook and Google+ or check us out online at www.sierrawesternwear.com.

Dress Like a Real Cowboy

    

 

     With all the Hoopla over high fashion ‘experts’ rolling out their Western Inspired collections, it’s easy to see how they kinda drifted away from the real swagger of an authentic Cowboy or Cowgirl.

     At Sierra Western Wear we want you to know you can find all the necessary authentic fashion to make your day in the saddle comfortable, but just as good looking as anything we saw on the runway. Actually, better, as far as we’re concerned!

     You want your pants to be the right length for competition and the right fit for twisting,  turning and riding hard. Your boots have to hold up under something a little tougher than a walk up Broadway or a ride on the subway. While these ‘City Folk’ are trying to get the look, real Cowboys just live it. 

     At Sierra Western Wear, we are right there with you!

     Contrary to what the fashionista’s are advising, it takes more than any old pair of blue jeans and a black cowboy hat. And I don’t know many cowboys who are too concerned if their shirt sees an iron before they jump in the saddle; as long as the sleeves aren’t too short, the colors aren’t too bright, and the snaps are working tight. Like our RU Cowboy shirts.

     While a few might be concerned if their boots and hat are the same color, the only Bolo ties we’re gonna see is at the fancy two-step dance on Saturday night after the last rider has tried for his 8 seconds in the spotlight.

     So if your hankerin’ for a new pair of jeans and you want a decent choice of a few good lookin’ plaid or solid shirts to go with them, check out our online store at www.sierrawesternwear.com, or come see us in historic downtown Placerville. 

     Sierra Western Wear will help you pull together that ‘iconic’ look you’ve been wearin’ your whole life! 

     Do you care if your boots and hat match?

Urban Fashion Fantasy Meets the West

    

      New York girl gone Texas. "Not overly Western, but sort of this urban fantasy of Western life.” Designer Carly Cushnie explained backstage.  "Like the movie City Slickers, this is  our urban fantasy of what it would be like..."
   
     "This is basically what we would want in our suitcases were we taking a trip to Texas,"  Cushnie said after the show. She and Michelle Ochs had a specific vision for their upcoming 2014 Collection. 

     "We consider this our fantasy packing list for Texas," Michelle adds. "We will definitely go to Texas just to wear this.


     The designers featured many looks with classic black cowboy hats in their show, but other designers are continuing the trend.  Tracy Reese got in on the Western-inspired look with fringed, handkerchief-inspired shawls. "I'm just feelin' the fringe this season," Reese said after her show.


     Charlotte Ronson, featured cartoon-like, oversize cowboy hats with several of her looks, while Tibi also got in on the wide-brimmed hat trend in a major way. Plenty of Western inspirations were included by creative director Stuart Vevers with the addition of fringed bags.
 

     Sierra Western Wear has their own versions of what inspired many Designers this season. But ours are the real deal! Like this Montana West Bag and the Rock & Roll Cowgirl Braided Trim & Slashes & Fringe Vest.

It All Comes Back Around

     

Yes, it’s true, what goes around comes around; and nowhere is that more true than in  Fashion trends.A while back  Boho brought in cowboy boots with it, sweeping across most genres and styles; and then receded almost as quickly. But last season, floral embroidery and Western inspired boots gave us a hint that the look was quietly promising to reappear. This year, more than a mere inkling, cowgirl style has evolved into something else entirely. 
   
     While it will continue to evolve, real Cowgirls want to be able to find authentic Western Wear for the lifestyle they have always lived. They can do that at Sierra Western Wear.

     Suede and Leather accents, colorful fringed ponchos, arrow and Aztec inspired dresses and tops; Sierra Western Wear is bringing you the best of authentic Western Wear with all the high fashion earmarks put on display for the pseudo cowgirls roaming the concrete city ranges, just wishing they were in your boots! And your boots could be these Macie Bean Beauties!

                                                               

     The intricate floral designs found on these and other current boot offerings, (chek out out Pecos Bill and Ferrini’s, too) are being incorporated into the likes of Tommy Hilfiger’s arrow laden shirt dress and an intricate floral detail designs! 

     Chanel, always at the forefront, kicked off the newest Western trend with an incredible Western show for their Metiers d'Art collection in Dallas in December. Western has gone high style! That show featured plenty of cowboy hats, denim jackets, and inspoired prints, including a Native American-inspired head-dresses and feathered pants, a choice which brought the brand much controversy. Real Cowgirls know better!

     As much as they try to pull it off, we at Sierra Western Wear can’t quite picture someone making their turns at the barrel in white leather and feathers. We think Rock & Roll Cowgirls Boyfriend jeans are a better option for lookin’ your best while livin’ your life!  

     Let us know what you think!
