Transition to Spring With the Coastal Cowgirl Aesthetic
The hybrid look mixes the best of both worlds.
The newest fashion aesthetic might just be the most niche one yet. A blending of the coastal grandmother aesthetic from last summer along with girly western wear, the coastal cowgirl aesthetic has been a popular topic on TikTok. With simplistic stripes, timeless denim, and understated silhouettes, the coastal grandmother aesthetic ruled 2022. But with the rise in a more maximalist approach to fashion, the excited cowgirl look's blending with the coastal approach has quickly taken over Spring/Summer 2023 style. Light knit sweaters, cowgirl boots, and warm-toned neutrals, the coastal cowgirl seems to directly coincide with the release of the Amazon Prime Video original, Daisy Jones & the Six. The show, based on the iconic band Fleetwood Mac, has given us the ultimate '70s style inspiration. Boho chic, effortless experimentalism, and timeless western wear, the coastal cowgirl aesthetic is the simplest way to transition seasons.
Not only are light sweaters essential for transition months, but they collide with the carefree effortlessness that's equated with the coastal cowgirl aesthetic. With light colors, breezy warmth, and cool texture, sweaters fit into the coastal grandmother and western aesthetics, making it the ultimate piece for coastal cowgirls. Worn with cowboy boots or a cowgirl hat, these simplistic accessory additions can be paired with sweater material to easily embody this aesthetic.
Along with light-knit sweaters, light colors are a key aspect of this aesthetic. Whites and creams make the look perfect for the approaching warmer months. Paired with a natural brown or black cowgirl boot, the light coastal colors contrast the warm western pieces.
Westernwear is imperative to the coastal cowgirl aesthetic, of course. Paired with simplistic and sophisticated tops and dresses, cowgirl boots and hats are the simplest way to master this aesthetic. Worn with a relaxed sundress or structured skirt, western-inspired boots juxtapose this elegance. Contrast is what this aesthetic entails.
