We Have the Essentials in Western Wear for Women

Posted by Jackson's Western Store on Jul 13th 2020

If you’re going to put together a western outfit, there are a few categories that you just can’t get by without. Fashion is anyone’s game, and the styles that appeal to you are at your discretion, but if you’re going to put together an ensemble either as a statement or for show, you’re going to need a place to start, and Jackson’s English & Western Store is that place.

Here we offer the essentials in western wear for women and much more. We keep all of our customers' interests in mind, from the variety in personal tastes to the need for rugged western wear that will keep you safe in the ring and on the ranch. In our collection, you will find everything you could possibly need if you want to get out to work in the field or just head to the saloon after a long week and take a load off without having to shed the unofficial uniform of the cowgirl. If you’re looking for western wear for women, start here - and don’t forget that for each special gem we investigate, there are a number of diamonds in the rough hiding throughout our online catalog, only waiting for you to discover them.

In our catalog, you will find not only western boots and hats for ladies that define the quintessential cowgirl but pants, jeans, and chaps that are as hardworking as they are. We offer belts and gloves that protect and support you while at the same time presenting a unique sense of style. We offer shirts that are richly decorated, yet breathable and roomy enough to move around in. Through it all, you will find a deep sense of respect and reverence not only for the color and design of western wear but for the spirit and determination of the people who were responsible for the evolution of the style that has become known around the world as iconic western wear.

Jeans, Pants, and Chaps

Pants don’t tend to get too much of the glory when it comes to western wear, even though everyone loves the comfort - and the look - of a well worn and seasoned pair of jeans. The truth is, although hats and boots steal a lot of the thunder and a nice western shirt will steal the rest, pants can set the foundation of an outfit. That’s not all due to stylistic reasons, either.

For example, a comfortable pair of wranglers is compatible with a number of different fashions and is one of the least limiting styles in clothing out there. At the same time, it is not only useful for its diverse appeal. Denim is a tough material that will protect you from abrasion, from the briars and thorns of the field, and much more. At the same time, it will protect from the sun, and cotton-made denim is breathable and can keep you cool when the heat is up, whether from the sun or from hard work.

At Jackson’s Western, we offer plenty of comfortable and rugged jeans from popular designers like Wrangler, Ariat, Panhandle Slim, Lee, Cowgirl Tough, and others. Check out our collection of Women’s Western Jeans and Skirts to find your best look or just a pair of jeans that won’t quit when you’re going strong.

In addition to our collection of women’s jeans, we also offer a number of Women’s Horse Show Pants so that you can put together an outfit to score you some points in showmanship. Our collection features top picks from Hobby Horse that are sleek, black, and ready to impress.

Our collection of women’s western pants wouldn’t be complete without an assembly of chaps. Though chaps were originally designed to protect the legs of a rider going through rough country (and they still do today) modern designs are made to catch the eye and do a dazzling job of it. Here on our site, you will find chaps that you might wear just for their unforgettable character. Check out our Women’s Show Chaps which are perfectly cut and attractively fringed - not only practical but beautiful as well. 

Women’s Western Shirts and Blouses

As with western pants for women, the designs of many western shirts came about only through necessity and later were esteemed for their rugged character and impressive lines. A western shirt is a shirt that is designed to buck the elements and keep the wearer cool and calm. As with our collection of western pants for ladies, you will find a catalog of women’s western shirts right here that are rough and ready - but styled to be unforgettable nonetheless.

Many western shirts feature bright patterns with warm natural colors like red, pink, and orange, although any collection fo western wear is bound to have some designs in turquoise as well. They often feature a collar that is open at the top in order to keep the wearer cool and to allow for some airflow. In addition, many western shirts can be recognized by their roomy sleeves and bodices. Cowgirls and ranch hands alike needed a certain level of protection from their clothing, but they also couldn’t afford to restrict their mobility. This feature of western shirts may have originated as a result of necessary function, but today is a hallmark of their design.

Whether you are dressing for work, for a night on the town, or for a Showmanship competition, we carry all of the necessary clothing and accessories that you could possibly need to complete any ensemble. That means we carry a number of fashionable Women’s Western Show Shirts & Blouses as well as Women’s Western Shirts & Blouses for fashion. It’s well worth your time to get familiar with our catalog because the only way you’ll find exactly the styles that appeal to you is with some good old fashioned digging around. We offer show shirts, blouses, and vests from Royal Highness, Hobby Horse, and more. When it comes to fashion, our catalog is even more stacked. Check it out via the link above and you will discover a wealth of designs from Panhandle Slim, Rock & Roll Cowgirl, Cinch, Wrangler, Ariat, and many more.

Gloves and Accessories

While this will mostly be a consideration when you are dressing for Showmanship, it’s important to keep in mind that we offer all of the accessories you’ll need to put your outfit together. Whether you need a pair of gloves or a fine white suede belt to complete your look - or to match your boots and hat - we can off you that and much more. Style is your prerogative and we are pleased to offer our customers a number of fine designs that will take their Showmanship presentation to the next level.

At the same time, there are occasions when fashion takes a backseat to function and we understand that as well. That’s why we offer gloves, jackets, helmets, and other necessities for riding and work here at Jackson’s. If you have a need for clothing and accessories that will keep you protected in the field, you’d better bet you can find them here first. Check out our collection of riding accessories and other workwear that you can find on our website and you’ll never have to go a day without comfort, support, and protection.

Hats

If there is one thing that defines western wear - although there may not be - the western hat is certainly a contender. Unmistakable, attractive, and practical, western hats do a lot more than just ice the cake of the perfect presentation. While you might love a fine fur felt cowboy hat just because it’s a beautiful thing, never forget that your hat is one of your best friends in the field, for fashion or for show.

Many western hats are completely waterproof, and even straw western hats do a mighty fine job of keeping the sun out of your eyes and face and off your neck. At the same time, straw hats allow for great ventilation to keep you cool - and as everyone knows, you lose a lot of heat through your head. Keep it cool and the rest of you will follow.

At the same time, a western hat is a perfect opportunity for you to perfect your ideal ensemble. Whether you’re interested in a leather hat, a felted wool or fur hat, or a straw hat, we have plenty of options right here in our store and many in our retail location in Wayland, Michigan as well.

Check out our collection of hats to find the one that’s perfect for you, or better yet, pick out several to match with your outfits. Each one has its own unique characteristics, and as we said, the different designs offer their own benefits. Perhaps you’d like to pick up a felted hat for the winter while you wear a straw hat in the summer. Go your own way, our catalog makes it more than easy to do so. Our catalog contains many fine examples of hats by Stetson, Bullhide, Resistol, Ariat, M & F, and more.

Boots

We did mention that a cowgirl’s hat might be the most definitive piece of western wear, but there might not just be one. If there’s another, it is, without a doubt, her boots. Western boots entirely make the image, and as they are as immediately recognizable as a cowgirl’s hat, they are every ounce as functional as well.

Western boots take the form of high shanked leather boots without laces and usually with a pointed toe. They also often have a sharply angled heel. All of this comes together to make an image that just can’t be mistaken for anything else. After all, they weren’t always called “cowboy boots” and now they almost exclusively are. 

The leather shaft and vamp helps to protect a rider’s feet and legs while traveling through rough country in concert with a pair of chaps. In addition, the soles are often made from stacked leather as well, which makes it easy to get them in and out of the stirrups. In fact, the soles of western boots are often (but not always) specifically made with leather instead of rubber for this very reason.

At the same time, the pointed toe facilitates this motion as well - it’s tough to get a boxy toe in and out of a stirrup. Coming to the lack of laces that is also definitive of a pair of western boots, we have the fact that laces, while they secure a boot, are also a hazard. Riding through rough country presents a lot of hazards, and laces just make it all the more possible for a rider to get tangled up and injured.

There we have the elements of design of western boots that make them suitable to their purposes, and now we can come to the fact that a pair of western boots are sometimes the most memorable and impressive aspect of a western outfit. Check out our collection of Women’s Boots and Shoes and you will not be disappointed. In our collection, there are innumerable patterns and styles for you to discover and pair up with your outfits. When you’re looking for western wear for women , you’ll need a dependable pair of boots and one that lets you exercise some appreciation for style as well.
