You thought rodeo season was over? Oh no, it’s FAR from over, y’all. In Canada, rodeo season typically stretches from late April or early May all the way through September. During these months, rodeos pop up across the country — mostly in smaller towns and outdoor arenas.
As we head into the final stretch, the weather starts to shift, and your outfits need to keep up. Let’s get you rodeo-ready with stylish staples that’ll carry you through late summer and into fall.
Outfit Essentials
With the seasons starting to change, here are some must-have pieces that’ll keep you stylish and comfortable through the rest of rodeo season.
Dusters and Vests
Shop outerwear
Light or lined, these pieces are perfect for layering as the temperatures drop in the evenings. Keep one in your truck or bag just in case.
Maxi Skirts
Shop skirts
Not everyone’s go-to for a rodeo, but if you’re feeling fancy, maxi skirts (especially denim) are a great way to stay warm while showing off your personal style.
Jeans (Of Course)
Shop jeans
From bootcut to straight leg, this one’s a no-brainer. You can’t go wrong with a great pair of jeans during rodeo season.
Cowgirl Boots
Shop boots
Shortie season is winding down—it’s time to bring out the classic cowgirl boots. Whether you’re rocking sparkle, cowhide, or something plain and timeless, as long as you’re in boots, you’re doing it right.
Button-Ups and Blouses
Longer sleeves become key as the evenings cool off. Traditional snap shirts and flowy blouses are rodeo staples for a reason—they strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. Don’t forget your duster or vest for extra warmth when the sun goes down.
Hats
Shop hats
The weather can be unpredictable, so have both a straw and felt hat on standby. You’ll likely still wear straw most days, but don’t be caught off guard—keep your felt ready to go at the drop of a hat. (See what we did there?)
Accessories
Shop accessories
Accessories are your time to shine. For a low-key look, opt for a classic belt, dainty jewellery, and a bangle or two. If you’re ready to go all-out, don’t hold back—blinged-out belts, layered jewels, and a sparkly hat band are all fair game. You can also strike a happy medium. However you show up, we know you’ll look fabulous.
Here’s to making the most of the rest of rodeo season—with head-turning outfits, cozy layers at the ready, and memories waiting to be made. Happy rodeo season, friends!
