This Viral Fashion Trend Will Be Your Go-To All Spring and Summer

I’ll be the first to say it: I am just like other girls. When a new trend starts circulating, I immediately want to know all about it. And the truth is, I’ll probably start to incorporate it into my wardrobe as well. So when I first heard about the up-and-coming coastal cowgirl trend, my interest was piqued immediately. A trend that marries the relaxed beachiness of classic coastal with the slight edge of Western wear? Sign me up.

As we know, coastal grandmother—blues and whites, beachy textures, and touches of classic preppiness—was a huge trend last summer. And while cowboy boots are always a staple, they have been increasing in popularity in the last few years. Now, we’re going fully in on Western-inspired fashion pieces, from embellished accessories to fringe bags to detailed denim. This year’s hottest TikTok fashion trend, coastal cowgirl, brings these two aesthetics together into a cohesive look.

How to nail the coastal cowgirl look

Because the trend is still on the rise, you’re probably wondering what exactly it is and how you can incorporate it into your spring and summer wardrobe. The basis is this: Mix flowy, feminine silhouettes and beachy textures like linen or lightweight knits with cowgirl-esque touches such as cowboy boots, bigger belts, and denim. If you’re heading to the beach, opt for a cowboy hat to finish off your look instead of a classic baseball cap. When in doubt, throw on a pair of cowboy boots with pretty much any outfit, and you’ll instantly be giving off a coastal cowgirl vibe. Keep scrolling for five looks to get you started.
