Ah, the good ol' cowboy boot. Some of the coolest men alive have worn them. But unfortunately, most guys today have never even tried on a pair of cowboy boots. I urge you not to be that guy. Even if you're not a cowboy or someone working on a farmland, a man can use a touch of Western style in his outfits once in a while. It's rugged, it's cool, it's the manliest style ever! Additionally, they also feature a subtle heel that increases the height of the person wearing them. Is there anything not love about them?
Well, one might argue that the pointy heel makes cowboy boots look like they should be part of a funny costume and not a stylish outfit. However, the toe doesn't always need to be impossibly thin for the boot to be deemed “cowboy” enough. In fact, modern mens western cowboy boots feature toes that are a bit rounder and more practical.
You might wonder, then how will the cowboy boot differ from a regular boot? Well, my friend, the devil is always in the details. You see, true mens western cowboy boots always feature some type of decoration. The portion of the booth from the ankle and up can feature anything from contrast stitching to beads, bright dyes, and all kinds of decorative adornments. If you feel like your outfits need a special touch, there's no better statement than cowboy boots.
Additionally, they also make you look more unique. Because let's face it, the fact that cowboy boots aren't the most popular type of footwear means that there's virtually no chance that you'll ever be in the same room with another guy wearing the same shoes. Well, unless you are going on a trip to Texas, that is.
But if you've never owned a pair of cowboy boots, you probably have no idea what to wear them with. Don't worry though. You don't really need to own a cowboy shirt or any type of Western clothing. If you ask me, the ideal way to rock your boots is with a cool leather belt and a leather jacket. This way, you'll make a modern fashion statement instead of looking like you're heading out to a costume party.
As cowboy boots are worn on those occasions when you want to have some fun, and not in formal situations, plan to pair them with some jeans. Ideally, they should be dark and not light blue which is typically worn as workwear. As a top, a simple white dress shirt can look impressively good, as well as chequered and patterned shirts with collars.
