Western Ways....

Style Theory: This season there are not loads of stand out trends, but the one that does excite me and one I am buying into is the Western look. I am not talking full on Jessie from Toy Story, but subtle western hints to add to your existing wardrobe to bring it fully into AW18 but with a hint of cowgirl.

I am not going to lie, seeing Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born has got me really into the western look, he looked amazing (see below) I have always loved cowboy boots so am now embracing the cowboy shirt look too..

Here are my favourite shirts on the high street at the moment...

Topshop £25

I love a checked shirt, an Autumn/Winter 'must have', great with jeans and boots and will also work in the summer with denim shorts and sandals. Wear now with a few buttons unbuttoned and add a few fine gold necklaces to glam up the look, add a pair of boyfriend jeans and heels for the perfect going out look.

Topshop £35

Ok, so not necessarily western but along that vibe, this shirt looks fab on, order your normal size, it is pj style shirt so looks fan with jeans and boots.

Topshop £30

This is a fab shape for a denim shirt, gently fitted creating a flattering silhouette. Wear with darker jeans/leather leggings, trainers and a checked blazer for a cool look.

H&M £24.99

Love this blouse, I have it, it looks amazing on I spotted it on EmmaRoseStyle - looked fab. A great basic to add to your wardrobe, wear with black jeans and heels for a cool night out look.

H&M £34.99

Another beauty of a blouse, again I saw this on Instagram on Buffysees.  It is a gorgeous blouse very Isabel Marant-esque - I think it has a hint of western about it if worn with jeans and western style boots. I am tending to size down on all H&M blouses and shirts this season, they seem to be huge!

H&M £14.99

Love this style of shirts, very sheriff like, they look pretty cool on with black ankle length jeans with ankle boots, make sure your jeans are short enough to show a little skin of you leg (cold I know) but it looks more flattering!

H&M £34.99

Love this pretty take on a denim shirt - again remember to size down, although I haven't tried this particular one on, in general they come up big.

H&M £34.99 

I am stepping further away from the theme, but this is just one of those really good going out blouses, pair with black or blue jeans and a pair of spiked heel black ankle boots, easy, cool, non fussy 'out,out' look.

Zara £25.99

This blouse is not western but couldn't resist including it. I love the contrast collar with the spots, wear with slim ankle length navy tailored trousers and heels for a gorgeous work look.

Tabitha Webb £295

This is the dream Western shirt, it is 100% silk, made in the UK and beautiful on. It is a big investment piece but it really is a special blouse. Tabitha kindly sent me one, I adore it...

Less a round up of strictly Western blouses more a round up of the blouses I would like to buy on the high street at the moment...

Next on the agenda are boots...ankle boots are one of my most worn things in the winter, I will go on a search for the best...
