Cowboy fashion, also known as Western wear, is a distinctive style inspired by the American Old West and cowboy culture. It combines practicality with rugged charm, embodying the spirit of the frontier.
Cowboy fashion originated in the mid-19th century American West, evolving from practical clothing worn by cattle ranchers and cowboys. It gained popularity in the early 20th century through Wild West shows and Hollywood Western films. The style experienced a resurgence in the 1970s and 1980s, influenced by country music culture, and continues to be popular today both as functional wear and fashion statement.
