Don't forget to try on men's and boys. I consider lumberjack styles a subset of Western. Get jeans, stomps boots., a buffalo paid shirt and carry an ax or chain saw into that gang neighborhood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969893 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 20:46:13 +0000 Gigi 1969893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try the Buckle. They have some western-style pieces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969719 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 12:29:28 +0000 LaPed 1969719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky used to make western shirts, I imagine they still do to some degree? I saw a nice one in the thrift store the other day that I came close to buying, but I have so many plaid shirts already. Turquoise/red/tan, pearly white snaps. Snap front, yoke, and flap pockets.</p> <p>I live down the road from a horse farm that is, somewhat oddly for New England, a western riding school (most of us grow up riding English), and they have big meet-ups on the weekends. Standard fashion seems to be plaid shirts (or sometimes denim) and Wranglers, Ariats or Muck Boots, and Carhartt barn coats when it's cold.&nbsp;</p> <p>I always feel like a poser in western wear, and it's probably because I was a hunter-jumper kid.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: 80s KD Lang!! What a perfect western style icon. I mean, KD Lang is just a great style icon in general.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969715 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 12:11:29 +0000 Staysfit 1969715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://www.ariat.com/BIT_SHIRT_W_APP.html?dwvar_BIT__SHIRT__W__APP_color=NAVY" rel="nofollow">https://www.ariat.com/BIT_SHIR.....color=NAVY</a></p> <p>Here’s something a little subtle. A horsebit print top. A horse theme is western right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969697 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 10:43:13 +0000 Janet 1969697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to make a shopping trip to Austin! Or come visit us in east TX sometime. Cavenders has Wrangler aplenty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969659 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 04:27:15 +0000 rachylou 1969659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great shirt, Janet. Sometimes I miss the suburbs. No Lucky Brand for me for miles.</p> <p>I wonder, Shevia, if I could find a western shirt in an ‘upcycle’ shop around here. They do tend to sell what the ‘new’ shops do. It’s an insular place. The real thrift shop would be better I think, but I’ve never seen it open!</p> <p>There *is* a Mexican Western Wear shop... it’s in gang territory, lol. Obviously, I’m not afraid to go there since I know about it... but it’s awful authentic. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969649 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 03:45:27 +0000 Janet 1969649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you! I’ve seen way too much mustard, animal print, plaid, and dusky lilac, and very little western influence. The western influence I have seen is just so literal it doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t want to look like I stepped out of the rodeo, but I like a *touch* of it. Western Lite.</p> <p>The only item I’m mad at myself for donating in the last few years was the silk Lucky Brand western shirt that got a little big on me after I lost weight (it would probably fit now again, doh!). I just did a search and found a pic on eBay — if it had been my size, I probably would have snagged it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969641 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 03:21:29 +0000 Jaime 1969641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have found two western shirts at thrift stores.

Maybe specifically but also, thinks of what has a Western VIBE but not being actual...Western. So fun to consider. How these things are re- interpreted into the current trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969591 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 00:29:37 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1969591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh where did I recently see a white western shirt wIth a lace yoke to take the edge off?

I do love the Spanish cowboy looks.</p> <p>Great suggestions, Anna. I’m surfing your links now. Brilliant idea also re 2016 Coach.</p> <p>FashIntern, how funny.

I’ve been thinking that forcing myself to go to actual stores and try things in there could be a good way to cut down on shopping, and here you are, b***hing &amp; groaning about online shopping. </p> <p>I get that you don’t want to go full-on authentic western, but what about halfway, sites like Pendleton or Campmore. Where does Wrangler fall on your wearability scale? You could just look that label up, and look through what ever stores carry it. </p> <p> Btw, I can see you wearing a yoked shirt, but to my mind, gingham is also Western. Just add denim &amp; a belt, yeehaw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-kvetch#post-1969511 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 21:59:40 +0000 rachylou 1969511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Jenni!

A yoked shirt would be most to my taste and most wearable... altho I think some boots or a belt or a hat would be cool.</p> <p>I’ve done a tour of the local shops and they have not picked up on this trend. (What they have picked up on is mustard, red plaid, and leopard... and the look is overwhelmingly prep-punk connection over drab.)</p> <p>So... I think I will have to actually shop online, which I hate. Any thoughts? </p> <p>I’ve online browsed ASOS, Nordstrom, F21, H&amp;M... sites that I feel might feature trendy... but coming up kinda short. I think genuine western wear might be too much. What else is out there?</p> <p>Ok. Thanks in advance! </p>
