There are so many summer aesthetics to choose from. Cottagecore is still alive and well, quiet luxury isn't going anywhere, New England chic is trending, and the list goes on. I, however, am still riding the high of my recent trip to country music festival Stagecoach. Plus, I'm obsessed with Beyoncé's latest album, Cowboy Carter, so I am diving headfirst into the Western aesthetic for summer. After all, wearing a cowboy hat just hits harder during the summer months. With the Western-chic vibe in mind, I started shopping for epic summer picks that went with my new aesthetic. I found so many good Western belts, cowboy boots, denim outfits, fringe pieces, and more.

These finds we're too good not to share. Keep scrolling to see which 30 Western-inspired picks I love right now.
