An Outfit for Grandma

If a friend or loved one loves the country lifestyle, treat him or her to a piece of cowboy-inspired apparel as a thoughtful gift. You can either go to a local cowboy clothing retailer, or if you don't have one nearby, order the specialty items online. 

Cowboy apparel is an appropriate present for a wide variety of special events and occasions, including birthdays, holidays, graduations, and anniversaries. If you're planning a country- or cowboy-themed wedding, you can even treat your bridesmaids and groomsmen to coordinating gifts that they can enjoy for years to come. No matter what your gift giving budget is, you'll be able to find items that won't break the bank.

Cowboy-themed apparel pieces range from head to footwear and everything in between. If you aren't sure of the recipient's clothing or shoe size, stick with items that feature universal sizing, such as jewelry or hats.

No matter if you're looking for modern or traditional cowboy wear, here are some fashionable ideas to get you started.

1. Cowboy Boots

The quintessential piece of apparel for all country lifestyle lovers, cowboy boots are always a welcome gift. For women, stick with classic designs made of durable leather and featuring delicate embroidery details, or go with a more colorful, eclectic pair.

Most women's authentic western boots feature pointed toes, square cowboy heels, and comfortable insoles. They're traditionally constructed of all-black or all-brown leather, or sometimes a mixture of both. 

For a lady who already has a basic boot, however, look for a pair featuring tough-looking harness or stud details, or sweet, colorful floral patterns. Go with a cowboy boot in a more eye-catching color, such as bright red, bubblegum pink, or midnight blue.

For men, you'll have a choice of either square or pointed-toe boots, typically in either brown or black leather, with either a smooth, pebbled or embroidered finish. Men's boots come in both tall and ankle heights, and may also feature harness and stud details for a more cutting-edge look.

2. Accessories

For a country western-loving female, pick a piece of silver jewelry, such a necklace, bracelet, or ring featuring natural turquoise stones. If the recipient is also a horse enthusiast, treat her to a pair of horse-shaped earrings or pin.

Durable woven leather belts featuring metal buckles engraved with designs are popular choices for men. Some buckle pattern ideas include antelope horns, buffalo, eagles, cowboys on horses, or crosses. You can also have the buckle personalized with the friend's or loved one's name or initial for a customized look.
