Wide-leg

Wide-leg jeans are a style of pants with a wider leg opening than regular straight leg jeans. This makes them ideal for wearing with ankle boots or sneakers.

Baggy Pants

Historically, baggy pants gained their rebellious connotations in the early 20th century. But as the years went by, they became a fashionable option.

Style

Aside from being durable, these pants are also a style of clothing that can be worn with any outfit. A few youth- oriented clothing companies began to manufacture such pants.

Jeans Brands

The most popular jeans brands among cowboys and working cowgirls include Wrangler, Levi’s, and Cinch. These are made from high quality denim and are designed to work with Western boots. Wide-leg jeans may be a variation of the baggy jean. In addition to having a large leg opening, these are usually fitted at the waist and are a full length. They also come in a variety of colors and styles. In general, cowboys and rodeo riders prefer charcoal wash jeans and blue jeans, while working cowgirls generally wear dark wash or light color jeans. Another notable Western-inspired clothing item is the denim midiskirt. These are a flattering, figure-flattering look that works with any type of Western shirting. This outfit is best paired with a western hat and a western belt. 

Fringe

Fringe is a type of decorative trim that has been used on clothing for hundreds of years.

Western

Its usage began in the western United States, where it was a sign of western style.

Its use on clothing can be traced back to the wild west. Woodsmen in the 1800s wore fringed jackets and coats. The extra leather added insulation. The Native Americans also wore fringe. Cords, beads, and dyes were used to decorate the fringe. It was used in skirts, shawls, and linen garments. In the 1920s, fringe was used in dresses. The dresses were cut from luxurious fabrics and ornamented with fringed trim. It was worn by Olive Borden, Claudette Colbert, and Joan Crawford. 

Fringe

In the 1950s, fringe made a comeback. Yves Saint Laurent made two fringe collections in 1967. Its popularity continued in the 1960s and 1970s. Its influence was also evident in the hippie movement. Today, fringe is a trending style that is continuing to pop up in the fashion world. It is used on fashion garments, bags, and other accessories. It can also be seen in distressed denim jackets. Fringes were initially used by men, but women began using them as decorations in the 19th century. The use of fringe on clothes had its roots in the American far west.
