WRANCHER DRESS JEANS × WESTERN BOOTS Formal attire is the way to do Westerns without becoming a costume.
If bootcuts are a cowboy's work clothes, these are a cowboy's fashionable clothes. Ranchless pants were created as trousers to change into after ranch work and before going to a restaurant. They are called staple pants by Levi's (®︎), leapless pants by Lee, and ranch dress pants by Wrangler, all of which were created in the mid-1960s. They are made of polyester, which does not wrinkle even without ironing, and are positioned as slacks-like five-pocket jeans with a center crease.

This genre is familiar to American casual lovers, but is surprisingly unknown among the general public. However, because they are easy to care for, do not have the weight that denim tends to have, and can be worn as slacks, they are actually an item that can be taken in without giving off too much of an American casual feel. The stripes, charcoal gray, and silhouettes of those days were exquisite and attractive in their own right, but it is a bit difficult to incorporate them into everyday wear. Therefore, the current items in brown and beige colors can be worn with ease as if they were chinos.
Western boots were chosen as the footwear to match the ranch dress. You may hesitate to wear them because they are an item that has been out of trend for a while and because they have a hard, masculine image. ......? But don't worry. As you can see, Western boots actually have the look of dress shoes with a heel once the shaft is tucked into the pants. Unlike engineers and Pecos, these boots have a dress element, so the form is clean and beautiful, and they are actually very easy to match. Although it is a straightforward western style coordinate, it does not have the feel of a cosplay cowboy outfit, and in fact, it is a fresh new look since not many people try it.
Cowboys in the authentic style wear long pants that cover their boots, but we city dwellers can't help but try to imitate them. If the length of the pants is just long enough so that it does not lean over, the decorations on the boots will be seen in moderation and the look will be clean and neat. While the dressy pants and boots are a classy finishing touch, the impact when you take them off at a tavern and say, "They are western boots! when you take off your shoes at a tavern.
Western boots come in a wide variety of styles, from the shape of the toe, to the way they are decorated, to the type of sole they have. In the American casual fashion world, the Roper boot, with its rounded toe, low heel, and cushioned sole, has been gaining popularity over the past few years. . I thought that a more dressy style than the Roper would be more appropriate for wearing with a ranch dress today. A sharp toe, a single leather sole, and a modest vamp with a low profile will give the wearer a mature, clean Western look.
