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.
