It’s safe to say the western trend is here to stay, so if you’ve been holding off on investing in a pair of cowboy boots, now’s the time to take the leap—and you’ll especially agree once you see these cute options from Ariat.
The brand, whose name is inspired by Secretariat, is the official sponsor of the Stagecoach music festival, which features nearly as many pop stars as country music stars this year. Lana Del Rey, who headlined Coachella last year (it’s held on the same grounds the weekend before Stagecoach each summer), will be gracing the stage with some songs from her new country album. Throughout the long weekend of moving from show to show, you’ll need a good pair of cowboy boots when you’re trekking through the desert dirt, and there’s hardly a more stylish option than Ariat.
Even the more fashion-forward western boot options from the brand are made of full-grain leather and feature a suede upper. The lining is also leather, so you know it will not only last, but develop a stunning patina of wear over time. They offer options at different heel and calf heights, and you’d definitely be able to repurpose them for lots of other looks.
The metallic-coated leather options are particularly fun, and would be ideal for those who just started planning their rodeo-ready outfits for Beyonce’s upcoming Cowboy Carter tour. Regardless if you’re shopping with a particular outfit in mind, you’ll find many of the styles are capable of elevating a range of different looks. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite styles below.

These might be the coolest cowboy boots I’ve ever seen, and they come in four colors—each of which is so cute you’ll have a hard time deciding which one to get. The full grain leather is coated with a metallic finish, and they have a 10-inch shaft, which makes them a perfect mid-calf option. They also feature diamond-shaped pull holes surrounded by vintage-inspired overlays for extra flair.

Cate Western Boot
The 1.5-inch heel and ankle height make these a great choice for standing for long hours at a concert.
