00:00 Wild West Introduction & History
Western wear became an offshoot of Victorian fashion during 1800s. As urbanization occurred, the era became mythologized in American culture. Nowadays, western wear is a subculture often ignored by mass media but dominant in many parts of America.
05:00 Traditional Western Wear
Traditional Western wear remains true to its historical roots and Victorian influences and is typically more cultural or even a bit performative. Chances are, if you’re wearing this version of Western wear, it’s because it’s a deeply rooted part of your local culture or you’re involved in events like rodeos, trade or agricultural shows, or even the Grand Ole Opry.
05:35 Contemporary Western Wear
Intersects a bit more with streetwear. Jeans, flannels with snap buttons, graphic tees, and suede jackets are a more modern interpretation of these historical styles and are designed to fit in with the modern norms of comfort. In other words, think less “Tombstone” and more “Yellowstone.”
06:11 Sartorial Western Wear
Western elements are being integrated more into the realm of classic style as a unique styling flare. It tends to feature higher quality materials and construction, and you’ll see it from popular brands like Spier & MacKay, Suit Supply, and Berg & Berg.
07:15 Outfit Rundown
A Western shirt is of course the main element of my ensemble. The Western shirt features tones of blue, off-white, and gray in a large check pattern with detailed gray embroidery. Its other Western-inspired details include its pearlescent snap buttons, its double chest pockets, and its detailed yolk stitching.
08:41 What Separates Western Wear & Classic Style?
In some respects, classic style and Western wear did develop along parallel timelines. They would change and grow in tandem over the decades but never fully intersected to become one. One of the biggest reasons for this is that Western wear was intentionally functional and often designed with specific practical tasks in mind.
11:15 How to Incorporate Western Wear
1. Consider Materials
2. Get Into Western Hats & Footwear
3. Incorporate Western-style Shirts
4. Be Inspired By The Big Screen
5. Wear Western Accessories
6. Start Off With Western-adjacent Items
15:26 Conclusion
Western wear and classic menswear do have a somewhat intertwined history and, while doing so won’t be for everyone, there are stylish ways to combine the two.
