Go crazy cowboycore: if we scroll through social media all we see are looks topped with boots Texans, western hats, denim gogo, fringes and prints cow. Everyone talks about it and we did it too a few months ago, here.
From Beyoncé to David Beckham, from the Kardashians to Emily Ratajkowski: you don't have to be in Texas to feel like you're at a rodeo. The western aesthetic, in fact, rages among the stars, at fashion shows, on social media and in music. Has the time come to add at least one cowboy hat to your cart?
But if fashion inspiration now comes mostly from celebs, from the great revival of country music and from the latest fashion shows, there is also another channel that has not yet been thoroughly explored by us mere mortals which, instead, can prove to be a rodeo style pearl bonanza to interpret here and now.
L'inspo which you don't expect comes from the royals, specifically from the Windsors: many of the members of the British family over the decades have actually dressed cowboys. From Prince Philip photographed in 1951 in Ottawa, Canada during a dance in perfect country look complete with jeans with maxi cuffs, checkered shirt, belt and scarf around the neck.
A few years later, in 1959, still in Canada but in Calgary, a town famous for the music festival and the rodeo where he was visiting with Queen Elizabeth, Philip once again showed his cowboycore side sporting a wide-brimmed white headdress in the front row of the horse show, looking like John Wayne in Savile Row.
Elizabeth's first dress as queen in that color you don't expect
When she learned of her father's death seventy years ago, the then princess was in Kenya. There wasn't a suitable dress in her suitcases: it was secretly brought to her as soon as she landed in London. Her only style mishap in the kingdom of multi-colored her
Also his son Carlo he was spotted in Old West attire a few years later in Calgary where he had gone together with his brother Andrea. The year was 1977 and the two princes interpreted the trend by mixing their tailored suits, powder blue for Andrea and powder pink for Carlo, with checked shirts, belts, Texan boots and bolo tie.
Exactly ten years later, in 1987, Prince Andrew back in Canada, to be precise in a place called Medicine Hat, he returned to being a cowboy for a day together with his wife Sarah Ferguson who, in addition to the typical hat and boots, at the time sported a green jacket with fringes.
At the beginning of the Third Millennium, however, it happened to Prince Harry and Peter Phillipsson of Princess Anne, show theattitude from the old West. Harry was riding in Australia in 2003, twenty years before the boom cowboycorethe 2000s version of the trend in an oversized blue shirt, denim, hat and typical mask sunglasses of the period.
While Peter in 2005, in Minchinhampton in Great Britain, he limited his foray into the rodeo world to the detail of the headgear.
In 2011, however, it was the turn of the most dream-generating royal couple, newlyweds at the time, to show themselves with herdsman look. During a royal trip once again to Canada Kate Middleton and William have perfectly paired cowboy hats and boots with blue jeans. Two hearts and a real ranch, in every sense.
