Rodeo season is the perfect excuse to adopt Western fashion with a modern and vibey twist. I mean, I just love how rodeo outfits balance its usual rugged charm with trendy elements.
If you’re struggling to envision it, like how do I go about it?
Not to worry! All you gotta think about are cowboy boots, fringe, denim, and just the right amount of you!
So now, I’ve just compiled the trendiest rodeo outfits that are making waves right now.
Fringe Jacket & High-Waisted Jeans
A fringe jacket is a rodeo essential, and that’s no wonder why it tops the list.
Why? because it instantly adds movement and flair to any outfit. I like to pair mine with high-waisted jeans for a balanced silhouette—it’s a mix of classic Western and modern street style.
Add a simple fitted tank or graphic tee underneath, throw on your favorite cowboy boots, and you’re rodeo-ready! Oh, and bonus points for a belt with a statement buckle to pull it all together.
Denim-on-Denim
Also known as the Canadian tuxedo, denim-on-denim has never looked better, eh?
You may wonder…. what about the trick to making this work?
And the answer is, play with shades—light-wash jeans paired with a darker denim jacket or vice versa. It just ALWAYS works. 🔥
If i were to dress it up myself, I love rolling up the sleeves of my denim jacket for a more effortless vibe.
Maxi Dress & Cowboy Boots
For a more feminine take, a flowy maxi dress with cowboy boots is the ultimate rodeo-chic combo. Trust me, you can never go wrong with this outfit combo!
I adoreeee floral or boho prints for this because they contrast beautifully with the structured boots.
Plus, a cute denim jacket or cropped vest adds a little Western edge, and a wide-brim hat will take the whole look up a notch.
Suede Vest & Mini Skirt
Suede is a rodeo must-have, and a suede vest over a fitted mini skirt will make you seem like you came out of a western movie.
I personally like to wear mine with a basic tee or a cropped blouse, depending on how dressed up I’m feeling.
Throw on some knee-high cowboy boots, and you have an outfit that’s perfect for dancing the night awayyy!
Plaid Shirt & Denim Shorts
Plaid and rodeos go hand in hand, but let’s switch things up with denim shorts! I mean, anyone, including myself, will love the contrast between the rugged plaid shirt and the cool and casual denim.
Bonus brownie points if you were to tie a knot fro your shirt at the waist for a flirty touch and finish with a Western belt and some classic cowboy boots.
Rhinestone Bodysuit & Bootcut Jeans
Rodeo fashion is the perfect time to embrace a little sparkle! A rhinestone-studded bodysuit paired with bootcut jeans is my all-time go-to when I wanna, you know, turn some heads. 🌞
This look (and) feels glam yet is absolutely totally wholeheartedly appropriate for a rodeo event. Pair it with a fringe bag and silver accessories to make it pop a lil’ more.
Graphic Tee & Fringe Skirt
Graphic tees are a great way to show off personality, but when paired with a fringe skirt, girrllllllllll, they instantly become rodeo-ready!
I love adding a wide-brim hat and some layered necklaces to complete the look. Go for a classic and simple top and it’ll still ooze western vibes!
Corset Top & Straight-Leg Jeans
Corset tops are having a major moment rn, and they can really blend surprisingly well with Western fashion. I myself was a lil’ skeptical at first but boy was i wrong.
Usually, I’d wear mine with straight-leg jeans and a big belt buckle for a modern cowgirl look. You can do the same too!
And add some heeled cowboy boots, and you’ve got a perfect mix of sexy and rugged.
Embroidered Western Shirt & Skinny Jeans
You definitely can’t miss this. An embroidered Western shirt is a must-have staple, and I personally can’t recommend it enough!
Tuck it into some skinny jeans, and let the look do all the talking. With or without embroidery, the look explains itself.
Then, pair it with a simple belt and ankle boots for a polished, stylish rodeo outfit.
Leather Jacket & Denim Cutoffs
For those cooler nights, a leather jacket is the ultimate finishing touch to any western outfits. I definitely love wearing mine over a tank top with denim cutoffs and, of course, cowboy boots (how can I miss this?)
This outfit is always vibey and chic andddd, is super practical for all the rodeo fun!
Sequin Top & Wide-Leg Pants
Because who says rodeo outfits can’t have a little glam? A sequin top paired with wide-leg pants is such a fun, albeit unexpected look.
You just need to add Western-inspired accessories like a concho belt or a hat to keep it from feeling too formal and let the look give out western vibes.

Rodeo fashion is all about mixing classic Western elements with modern trends, and that’s what makes it so fun! Fringe, denim, or a little sparkle, there’s always a perfect rodeo outfit waiting for you.
