Western shirts are an iconic garment that transcends fashion and stands the test of time. With their distinctive style and characteristic details such as smiley pockets, yoke or mother-of-pearl buttons, not to mention their spectacular embroidery, these shirts evoke the essence of the American West and have a place of their own in contemporary fashion. However, knowing how and when to wear them can make all the difference, as is the case with garments that have a lot of personality.
In this article we are going to look at some tips to get the most out of this versatile garment, which with the arrival of spring becomes even more important.
Western shirts: choose the right momento
Western shirts are perfect for a variety of occasions, from casual events and country dance sessions, to more elegant nights out. For everyday wear, opt for lighter coloured shirts or subdued prints that suit a more relaxed atmosphere – you can even wear your western shirt to the office. For your country line dance classes or western riding sessions, plaid shirts are ideal. On the other hand, for special occasions, concerts, dance competitions or nights on the town, choose shirts richer in details such as more striking embroidery, bold prints, metallic appliqués, and colours such as black, burgundy, wine or red.
Match the rest of the outfit
When it comes to wearing a western shirt, harmony is key. Pair your shirt with pieces that complement its style, such as bootcut jeans, and cowboy boots for a casual and authentic look. If you prefer a more sophisticated look, pair it with chinos, a bolo tie, a western blazer and leather ankle boots for a touch of western elegance.
Pay attention to detail
Western shirts often have distinctive details such as smiley pockets, embroidery, contrasting colours and press studs. This wealth of details makes good quality shirts essential. In that sense, the western and rockabilly shirts you’ll find at Corbeto’s always rise to the occasion, both in quality and design.
In addition to boots, we distinguish ourselves by our exclusive selection of western shirts for both men and women, imported directly from the United States and Mexico and from prestigious brands such as Ranger’s and Stars & Stripes. In our catalogue you will find a wide range of options, from plaid shirts that reflect authentic Texan style to cowboy and rockabilly shirts with details such as yoke buttons, pearlescent clip buttons and decorative smiley pockets. We also have retro western-inspired shirts, adorned with stunning floral embroidery and filigree embroidery on the chest, back or sleeves. We also have bib shirts like the ones worn by John Wayne in his legendary Far West films.
Don’t be afraid to experiment
One of the best things about western shirts is their versatility and ability to adapt to different styles and personalities. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations and accessories to find the look that suits you best. From a more classic and traditional style to more modern and daring interpretations, the possibilities are endless when it comes to wearing a western shirt.
