It’s no secret the “Westerncore” trend has arrived and is here to stay. While the trend is inspired by Western wear, it doesn’t mean you necessarily need to wear cowboy chaps to achieve the look.

Cowboy boots also allow you to lean into the trend as much as you like. However, picking out the best cowboy boots for you can be challenging. Thankfully, these brands have some of the best cowboy boots to easily add to your wardrobe. Those looking to add flair to their closet will enjoy the range of cowboy boots available, with some donning high amounts of detail and others being much more subtle.
