The trend: Cowboy boots

The 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede is now officially underway and whether you are riding in the rodeo or celebrating in spirit, give it your best “giddy up, partner” by sporting a pair of cowboy boots.

They're a long-standing staple of traditional western wear, but we love pairing them with our favourite summer outfits like a frilly sundress or denim shorts.

Our five favourite boots (clockwise, top left) from wallet-friendly to wish list-worthy!
