A great pair of boots is never out of season!
A truly well-crafted boot can be worn anytime of the year. In the heat of summer or the dead of winter, cowboy boots are the most versatile footwear on the planet.
It may seem counterintuitive to wear cowboy boots in the summer, but back in the wild west, cowboy boots were made to be worn in the heat of the desert and all year round.
You may think the fashion world frowns upon boots in the summer, and that sandals are the only way to go when it’s warm outside. But, the true western-at-heart doesn’t follow the rules, they break them! Even during the sweltering Texas summers, there’s always an excuse to wear your boots.
But, for those of you who need a bit of guidance, here’s some advice on summer cowboy boot style, from folks who know a thing-or-two about Texas heat.
How to Wear Cowboy Boots in Summer
Summer Dresses With Cowboy Boots
This is a classic look. It’s feminine with a cowgirl edge. Any dress is made more stylish with a great pair of boots and you can still keep cool. During the summer, wearing a brightly colored boot, or floral patterned boot, is an easy way to vamp up a simple or modest dress. Women’s summer cowboy boots are definitely best when tossed on with a flowy dress.
