This Year's Festival Headliner: Blue Jean Denim

Whether you're going to Coachella or Stagecoach, we all know these upcoming weekends are really our own personal 3 day fashion shows. And if you want to take center stage this festival season, you NEED to have denim in your outfit lineup. Blue jean denim has been on the forefront of western fashion since our great-great grandparents established the prairie core aesthetic; and while we're not digging for gold in 2024, you'll without a doubt hit the jackpot in style by adding a touch of denim to your festival fits!

If you've never experienced a desert oasis, look no further. @daayyyaaa is giving us nothing but Festival Dream and taking a more romantic twist on the otherwise rustic look of western fashion in our Carpenter Shorts. Paired with a black bralette, a beige knitted tie crop top, brown metallic chain belt and brown cowboy boots, our Carpenter Shorts give the perfect edgy but fitted look with utility details such as slant front pockets, a hammer loop and a side utility pocket for extra storage (great for all those extra festival accessories)! If you're going for more of a "boho queen meets the desert" kind of vibe, Daya definitely has you covered with this outfit!

Not Your Average Mom Shorts

We all know shorts have been the go-to IT item for those scorching temps, but that doesn't mean you can't still be serving looks while keeping cool! @izzzxie is definitely showing us how it's done in our Mom Fit Festival Shorts. Paired with a white cross bralette top, white knee-high cowboy boots and a white fedora hat, our Festival Shorts have just enough distressing to give off that vintage aesthetic of rustic western fashion while still making you look like the trendsetter IT girl this festival season! The frayed hem of our Festival Shorts also allows for easy customization to make them as short or distressed as you like, so let your personal style shine besties!

The Denim Vest of our Festival Dreams

Say goodbye to those pesky sweater vests and keep them tucked away in your closets because Oversized Denim Vests are here to stay! While vests are mainly associated with cubicles and tiring 9-5's, 2024 is showing us that western fashion is redesigning style trends and adding a little rustic pizzaz. @guillanasocorro is rocking our Oversized Boyfriend Fit Denim Vest and owning the Edgy Cowgirl aesthetic! Paired with a white baby tee, charcoal spandex shorts, black cowboy boots, a black leather purse and black sunglasses, our Oversized Boyfriend Fit Denim Vest gives you an effortlessly "cool" look with front-flap sleeves, cutoff sleeves and distressing all-over. If you're ditching the saddle and going for the Harley vibes this festival season, this look is for you!

Everything Mini this Festival Season

The verdict is in: maxi skirts are sooo last season. It's time to dust off those mini skirts you used to get dress coded for because this festival season, they are going to be THE staple item and we are here for it! With the transition from Y2K style to western fashion, mini denim skirts have remained the hottest item to have in your closet and will be the perfect addition to your 3 day outfit lineup. @swagnes_ is blessing our timelines in our Denim Micro Skirt and showing us how Sandwich Dressing is done! Paired with a scalloped-hem crop tee, black calf-high boots and a black leather jacket with white cotton trimming, our Denim Micro Skirt has midweight stretch that accentuates an A-line silhouette and highlights your curves in the right areas with subtle fading for that worn-out western vibe.

Keep Calm and Cowgirl on!
