The 7 Essential 'Fits to Channel Your Inner Cowgirl
GARAGE lets you ride high in summer's hottest trend.
We're all collectively saying "Yeehaw!" Our favorite music, movies, and television shows have all headed west—the Wild West, to be exact. We're now in the midst, right smack in the center, of a cowboy renaissance known as the Yeehaw Agenda—an era in which all the laid-back, cool, and crazy-sexy sounds and images of honky-tonks, rodeos, festivals, and riding freely in an open range have become the hottest trend. They've infiltrated social-media feeds. They've taken over the airwaves. They've been embraced by the culture writ large.
Fashion, of course, has hopped aboard the country train as well. Fringe, chap-esque pants, lace tops, and frayed short-shorts are the 'fits of the moment, seen on our favorite celebs on tour and off-duty. And here to let you channel your favorite pop stars is GARAGE, the casual-street brand serving unapologetic looks.
GARAGE definitely has a whole inventory of styles for standing out, showing some skin, and showing up with confidence. The vibe is all about having a good time and pushing boundaries. It's about discovering the latest and greatest trends, and adding them to your daily wardrobe without delay. And with cowboy culture riding high, there's no better time than now to rope in all the Western-inspired pieces. If you need a good place to start, check out the seven essentials below.
For the maximum amount of flair, always bet on fringe—specifically, this vest. Yes, a vest! The way the long tassels sit underneath the bust will subtly cover your midsection...until you shake and shimmy. Then the strands will move with you as you swirl and twirl all summer long.
If a short skirt feels too risqué for a given event (better safe than sorry, right?), a skort is what you need. It keeps everything in check while simultaneously taking part in the micro skirt trend. It'll also give you the ability to move worry-free. And for some sparkle, this pair also features gilded studs at the pockets, a subtle detail that will complement your bling.
It may not be the most obvious element of cowboy style, but lace tops are a favorite of the hottest country singers, equal parts sweet and sultry. This one—featuring a glossy bow under the bust and cut to hug the contours of your body—absolutely fits the bill.
From the lace-front closure to the low, hip-hugging waist to the flared hem, these pants check all the boxes for cowgirl style. You can pair it with any of the tops on this list seamlessly, but it fits the Western trend so precisely that really all you need is a simple tee.
If you're looking to be the ultimate lady in red, this cowl top is the golden ticket. The standout color is matched only by the open neckline and back—great for scorching days in the sun and humid nights at your local watering hole.
Ah, the denim short, the go-to style for real-deal cowgirls, a mainstay at honky-tonks and country-music festivals far and wide. It shines brightest with a pair of cowboy boots—an effortless combo that allows you to show off your legs with ease. This one in particular, with its light wash and frayed hem, is the most laid-back of 'em all.
This edgy leather halter top features an adjustable lacing system on the front, giving you the ability to show just as much skin as you want. Aka power and confidence in the way you wear your clothes.
