There’s something about the Stampede that makes you fall in love with Western style all over again. From the classic boots and blue jeans to the iconic hats and snap shirts, it’s a style that feels just as good as it looks. But why leave it behind when the midway closes? With a few simple tweaks, you can take that cowboy style and carry it right through the summer months—and we’ve got everything you need to do it.
Lighten It Up
Summer heat calls for breathable fabrics and lighter colours. Swap out your heavyweight denim for lighter washes and try a short-sleeve pearl snap shirt or a sleeveless top for a more laid-back, hot-weather-ready vibe. Look for pieces in cotton, linen blends, or lightweight denim to stay cool without losing that authentic Western feel.

Trade In Your Boots (Sometimes)
We’ll always be loyal to our boots, but for backyard barbecues or casual days out, a pair of Western-inspired sandals or slip-ons can give your look a summer refresh. Brands like Ariat and Twisted X offer great options that blend comfort and style without straying from your roots. When the sun sets or for rodeo nights, your boots are ready to take centre stage again.
Go Bold With Accessories
Accessories are one of the easiest ways to keep your Stampede spirit alive all summer. A felt hat might be a little heavy in the heat, so switch it up with a straw hat for those sunny days. Add a statement belt, some turquoise jewellery, or a fringe crossbody bag to keep that Western edge in your everyday outfits.

Make Denim Your Best Friend
Nothing says Western like good denim—and it’s one of the most versatile pieces you can own. From denim skirts and shorts to chambray shirts and jackets, mixing denim into your summer wardrobe is effortless. Pair a great-fitting pair of jeans with a flowy tank and a concho belt, and you’re ready for anything from the farmer’s market to a night around the firepit.

Stay True To Your Style
The best thing about Western wear is that it’s timeless. It’s about authenticity, comfort, and a little bit of grit—and that never goes out of season. Keep your favourite pieces in rotation, mix them with summer staples, and make the look your own.
