Western dress style is a category of mens and womens clothing that derives its unique style from the clothes worn in the 19th century Wild West. It has evolved over the decades, suggesting fancy additions and decorations to the original style of the 19th century. Western wear typically incorporates one or more of the following: Western shirts with pearl snap fasteners and vaquero design accents, blue jeans, cowboy hat, a leather belt, and cowboy boots. A Western shirt is a traditional item of Western wear characterized by a stylized yoke on the front and on the back. It is generally constructed of chambray, denim, or tartan fabric with long sleeves, and in modern form is sometimes seen with snap pockets, patches made from bandana fabric, and fringe. A Western dress shirt is often elaborately decorated with piping, embroidered roses, and a contrasting yoke. The most elaborate western wear is the custom work created by rodeo tailors such as Nudie Cohn and Manuel, which is characterized by elaborate embroidery and rhinestone decoration. Western wear can be formal or informal, and modern fashion allows you to combine different styles and items of clothing.
