Thrift The Look: The Mild West

Country chic is definitely not going anywhere and more thrifters are hunting for western-inspired pieces to create unique looks with a bit of that southern flair.

Country chic is definitely not going anywhere and more thrifters are hunting for western-inspired pieces to create unique looks with a bit of that southern flair. Luckily, ThredUp makes it easy with Style Chat. Here are the pieces that came up in my search when asking for staples to make a cowgirl-worthy outfit.

Fringe jacket

This is perhaps the most important piece and really sets the tone for the whole look. A light brown like this goes with so many colors, it’ll be your most versatile bet.

Graphic tee

Sure you could go with a plaid shirt but remember, this look is a nod to country chic. A graphic tee you love could truly make it your own.

Denim shirt

When you need that extra light layer, turn to a chambray shirt with western detailing at the shoulders. It’s subtle enough to go with so many other items in your closet.

Tiered maxi skirt

A skirt like this will give you plenty of mileage and pairs perfectly with a slouchy tee in a French tuck.

Braided belt

It’s all about the little details. Step up your skirt by simply adding a braided belt with a burnished silver buckle.

Fringe bag

Since you already have dramatic fringe in the jacket, keep it simple and sleek with the bag and go for a complimentary color, not an exact match. This gives the look depth and texture.

Cowgirl boots

It goes without saying that a boot is the way to go when creating a southern-style look. These fit the bill for this palette perfectly.
