With this fashion look if done correctly can be chic rather than shriek, the cowgirl look as spearheaded by Dolce & Gabbana in their spring/summer 2010 collection is a homage to Western chic with a sexy, urban spin. As with most looks stay away from dressing in this style from head to toe, otherwise you may be confused with an actually cowboy or worse, someone in fancy dress!

Key components are:

Creamy lace blouses, light check shirts and soft denim or sued jackets.

Faded loose fitting denim jeans.

Flirty miniskirts in denim or sued with laser cut detailing, or fashion hit of 2010 the maxiskirt in soft floaty materials with layered cuts.

High waisted hotpants in either leather or sued if you’re brave à la D&G.

Cowboy boots or riding boots in pale tan the scruffier the better and also soft moccasin booties with tassels.

Bags also follow suit in pale tan and cream slouch cross body bags with or without fringing can add a great finish touch.
