This style has become popular not only in rural areas but also in urban fashion, where it is revisited for a more modern, casual look.
It's a style of dress and culture inspired by the American West and cowboy life. It is associated with ranches, country music, rodeos and the free spirit of the great outdoors. This style reflects a rustic, rural and traditional way of life, typical of the western regions of the United States.
But is there a difference between western style and country style?
Yes, there is a difference between Western and Country, although they are closely related and often confused. Here's a comparison to help you understand:
1. Western Style :
- Origin : Inspired by the cowboys of the American West (Far West) and ranch life in the 19ᵉ century.
- Influence : Very influenced by cowboy culture, rodeos, and the aesthetics of western films.

2. Country Style :
- Origin : Inspired by country music and the rural lifestyle of the United States, mainly in the South and Midwest.
- Influence : Less focused on cowboys and more on a farming and rural lifestyle.
- Atmosphere: Barn parties, country music festivals and line dancing.
