Experienced Shoppers Are Styling Cowboy Boots With This Specific Denim Trend to Make Them Look Less Costume-y

Just because it’s not Halloween or festival season doesn’t mean fashion people have stopped wearing cowboy boots. It’s quite the opposite. Every day this summer, someone new is stepping out in a pair, and most of the time, they’re styling them with flowy maxi dresses to look polished. However, Kendall Jenner just made a case for styling cowboy boots with something other than a breezy dress—another way that doesn’t look costume-y, and the secret to her look was frayed-hem denim Bermuda shorts.

Yesterday, Jenner posted several photos on Instagram from a recent trip. In one image, Jenner was standing in a grassy field, wearing a baseball cap, a striped button-down shirt, a tank top, low-rise denim Bermuda shorts with frayed hems, and distressed cowboy boots that reached mid-calf.

What makes frayed-hem denim Bermuda shorts and cowboy boots a perfect pairing is their contrast. The jean shorts offer an effortless vibe with their relaxed, baggy fit and lived-in look from the raw hem. Meanwhile, the leather cowboy boots bring a more structured, refined feel that balances the casualness of the denim nicely. That said, keep scrolling to shop the pieces to recreate Jenner’s western look and explore more chic cowboy boots and denim Bermuda shorts.
