Cowboy boots can be a fashionista's best friend or worst enemy, depending on the style and shape of the boot. As the owner of about a dozen pairs of boots, I've found a formula that works for me when searching for Western boots.
2. Keep it feminine.
Pick boots with subtle feminine details, like good quality leather and detailed stitching. Your ideal cowboy boot should look similar to a traditional boot but it should be obvious that it's made for night life instead of stable life. A scrunched boot or ties can make a boot feel delicate and fashion-forward.
3. Mind the toe.
Traditional cowboy boots have pointed toes made for stable life. Today's cowboy boots come in a wide variety of toes, from pointed to rounded and back again. Try an unexpected square toe to add some intrigue to your look.
4. Wear them wisely.
Cowboy boots look great in a variety of looks. Try skinny jeans and a long sweater by day and a belted long-sleeve dress by night. Ribbed tights also add some depth and help you make an outfit as individual as you are.

I work on 2nd Ave. Nashville, TN. I sell cowboy boots and It's true they can be worn exclusively for fashion purposes just like English riding boots. Loads of ladies and men around here wear them daily, commonly referred to as Texas Tennis Shoes.
My complaint is that none of the boots pictured in this article are cowboy boots.
