Stampede style: Seven rodeo-inspired looks

From the runway to the rodeo

The Calgary Stampede is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and we couldn’t help but get into the rodeo spirit, too. From summer concert festivals to the fall 2012 runway – even Isabel Marant was inspired – it seems many of us can’t get enough of this look. So, whether you’re heading to the show or just a girl with a soft spot for western wear, lasso your inner cowgirl and roundup some of these styles.

Bandana bonanza

Unleash your inner cowgirl with this country-chic top.

Snakeskin booties

These faux snakeskin boots were meant for walking...and maybe a little line dancing, too. For a true western edge, wear them with a summer dress or jean shorts.

Western-chic bag

Large enough to carry all your stampede essentials, this messenger bag delivers.

Pretty and patterned

Wear this earth tone sundress with a pair of cowboy booties and throw on a jean shirt or vest and step to it.

All tied up

Go to the max with a big buckle or play it cool with a studded belt.

Hats off

If you're not going to splurge on a Smithbilt white hat, top off your look with a raw-edged straw one.
