Fortunately, the reading is more present than ever in our day-to-day lives. It has slipped into our conversations, into our task lists, and also into our wardrobe. Sporty romances have brought back the pretty athletic looks, romantic comedies revived the passion for preppy, and cowboy romance is the new trend on TikTok that’s taking off (and it has also influenced the way we view boho chic).

They thrive on platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime, but also in your library. The Western jeans slip into the imagination of romcom lovers. It can be a more youthful and sweeter version like My Life with the Walter Boys or one with a larger share of drama (as in Ransom Canyon). However, one way or another, in the end what it has provoked is a certain fondness for fringes, studs, and fabrics like suede.

We’ve seen it on runways with Isabel Marant or Chemena Kamali’s Chloé, in your favorite brands that don’t miss a single viral trend, and in those girls who seek to pay homage to their heroines. And if what you’re looking for is a bit of inspiration, you’re in the right place.

Tell me what your favorite cowboy romance is and I’ll tell you how to dress

If you liked ‘Untamed‘ by Tamara Marín… Show off your most urban and professional side. The secret is to look like a city girl landing on a ranch. To do this, opt for dark bootcut jeans (Levi’s, 124.90 euros), a fitted white T-shirt (COS, 29 euros) and a chocolate brown blazer (H&M, 69.99 euros). As accessories, sunglasses from Móx Multiópticas (45 euros), black booties (Krack, 109.95 euros) and discreet earrings like these from UNOde50 (119 euros). The key is that it should be clear that she didn’t grow up on a ranch.

I loved ‘Pumpkin-Scented Coffee‘ by Laurie Gilmore, and this girl is a cozy autumn girl. Start with a long fur coat from Zara (299 euros), a brown velvet skirt from &Other Stories (59 euros) and a zip-up knit to give it a modern touch (Nude Project, 79 euros). As accessories, this look wouldn’t be complete without its moccasins (Tod’s, 690 euros) and a touch of light (Singularu, 24.99 euros).

If you liked ‘Elegant Love‘ by Hannah Cowan… You need a romantic cowboy version. Start with a floral dress from Mango (25.99 euros), a suede fringe jacket like this one from Golden Goose (1,750 euros) and boots in the same tone (Stradivarius, 69.99 euros). As a final touch, earrings from Malababa, 89 euros.

To be Summer in ‘Flaweless‘ by Elsie Silver, don’t overcomplicate it. Go for high-waisted jeans like these from Pull&Bear (25.99 euros), and a snug white top (Lefties, 4.99 euros). Complete your look with a plaid overshirt (Miu Miu, 3,200 euros), some boots (Zadig & Voltaire, 590 euros) and special gold hoops (Vidal & Vidal, 80 euros).

If you are one of the fans of ‘Ransom Canyon‘ and you want to dress like Quinn, choose the more elegant version. Sometimes, you don’t need it to be so literal. Just wear mid-blue jeans, like these from Tommy Hilfiger (149.90 euros) and a bohemian blouse (ba&sh, 165 euros).

Finish with chocolate-brown ankle boots, like these from Wonders (139 euros) and subtle earrings (Alaïa, 690 euros). A detail that also makes the difference is a belt with a discreet buckle. This one from Massimo Dutti (49.95 euros) is a good idea.
