No matter what your stance is on the “core” aesthetics that have been unfolding on the fashion scene, it’s clear that they are arriving at a record speed as the trend cycle moves at a rapid pace. The latest among them: Westerncore. Call it the Yellowstone effect. This is one “core” aesthetic, however, that I expect to stick around since the items are rooted in iconic designs that also double as cool, foundational wardrobe pieces. 

For several seasons, we’ve seen the rise of cowboy boots and denim button-down shirts as they have become staples in the fashion insider wardrobe. Brands including Khaite and Celine have been endorsing Western-inspired fashion with cool designer takes that reimagine heritage pieces with contemporary spins. More Western fashion pieces have entered the equation recently—from silver buckled belts to bags with whipstitched details—making a case that this isn’t just a “flash in the pan” trend. Ahead are the key items to add to your cart that embody the Western fashion trend.
