We’ve had balletcore and Barbie-core. Now, cowboycore is trending on TikTok.
While there were nods to the Wild West during fashion month from the likes of Stella McCartney and Isabel Marant, it’s singer Beyonce who is responsible for the sudden cowboy-mania.
Beyonce has inspired a trend in Wild West fashion on TikTok dubbed 'cowboycore'
Her album Cowboy Carter releases tomorrow and the cover depicts her in red, white and blue leather chaps on a horse
Her hotly-awaited first country album, Cowboy Carter, is released tomorrow. And Bey has been embracing the cowgirl vibe wearing red, white and blue leather chaps astride a horse on the album cover.
Here, we show you the four ways you can easily incorporate the look into your wardrobe, even if it’s your first rodeo...
Jacket, £450, and vest, £120, jigsaw-online.com; jeans, £45, riverisland.com; boots, £160, dunelondon.com
Fringe jacket, £35, asda.com/george
Nothing says cowboy quite like fringing and the best way to introduce it is through a jacket.
Jigsaw has bought its sell-out suede black jacket back for another season. It is also available in brown. The £450 price tag is hefty, but worth it as you’ll still be wearing it come winter. If you’re on a tighter budget, head to George at Asda for its faux leather, neutral fringe jacket for just £35.
Shirt, £125, withnothingunderneath.com; jeans, £55, riverisland.com; belt, £35.99, zara.com; bag, £199, penelopechilvers.com, bangle, £295, monicavinader.com
A subtler way to do cowboycore is by wearing rodeo-ready jeans. The best place on the High Street for denim is River Island. These baggy, wide-leg jeans are similar to premium label Agolde’s styles, but at £55 are a fraction of the price of the designer’s £340 pair.
M&S also launched a new palazzo jean, £45, this month, which has become its second bestseller in womenswear. Add a brushed plaid shirt like the one, pictured top right, from With Nothing Underneath to create a cool country look.
Boots, £360, terrydehavilland.com
Pair cowboy boots with jeans, or follow supermodel Emily Ratajkowski’s lead and style them with a midi dress.
Dune has authentic boots starting from £60 in brown and black as well as snakeskin and silver. If you’re after real wow-factor there’s Terry de Havilland’s red suede cowboy boots with crystal embellishment, £360.
Bags and belts are an easy way to give a cowboy spin to your outfit; look for tassels, rhinestone studs and embroidery. Old West meets feminine flair with Loeffler Randall’s suede baguette bag, £255. Or the fringed design at Fairfax & Favor, The Nashville, £295, comes in a rich chocolate hue.
As the weather warms up, you might even copy Beyonce and wear a Stetson. Free People have a denim style for £32 or go bolder with its red woven version for £88.
