You don't need to be a fashion expert to see that the Spring '17 runways have been looking a little . . . Western. Fringed pieces paired with bolo ties and big buckle belts make it pretty obvious, and if that's not enough for you? There's always those cowboy hats and cowboy boots to really drive the point home.

The trend will likely be a tricky one to pull off: one false move, and you may look like you're rocking a costume. But thanks to the more realistic runway looks, street style stars, and even It girls, we know it's completely wearable. See and shop a few ways to nail this style ahead.
