It won’t take much scrolling of your FYP to spot TikTok’s latest obsession, the coastal cowgirl aesthetic. Like the Coastal Grandmother and Cottagecore trends before it, the viral trend has already begun spreading beyond the fashion realm into home decor, hair, fragrance, food, and even music. And with over 7.5 billion views already, there will be no escaping its breezy linen dresses, faded denim, and Western accessories when summer rolls around.

As the name suggests, the coastal cowgirl aesthetic is a mashup of beachwear and Westernwear. It’s defined by a color palette of white, tan, washed-out blues, and summery fabrics like linen, lace, cotton, and lived-in denim. The ultimate coastal cowgirl outfit: a flirty linen sundress and fashion-forward cowboy boots. Inside a coastal cowgirl’s closet, you’ll find a plethora of picnic-worthy dresses, Western boots, easy-going graphic tees, and oversized button-ups stolen from her Coastal Grandmother’s closet.

The beauty of the coastal cowgirl fashion trend is how easily it can be adopted— and adapted to your personal style. There’s no rule saying there must be a perfect balance between the two influences, so feel free to lean more into the Southern Belle or SoCal surfer side if it suits you better. Below, we’ve got all the clothing, shoes, and accessories you’ll need to make the trend your own.
