What To Wear To A Rodeo

1. Black + Beige

We love this chic and stylish rodeo look – ideal if you want a more polished look! A checked cropped shirt and black jacket are layered on top of a black crop top, then paired with a black mini skirt. Layers are always a good idea so you can take some off or put more on depending on the weather. Accessorise with a belt bag, hat, and boots.

2. Monochrome

A monochrome color palette always looks stunning and is super easy to recreate for your next rodeo. Start with a white shirt dress, then add a vest – we love this cow-printed one – black cowboy boots and a fringed black bag. A bow at the waist cinches the dress and creates a beautiful silhouette.
