let’s start with the denim dress. she’s classic, she’s versatile, she’s single-handedly carrying the western aesthetic on her back. from our sara beth denim midi dress to our cora denim mini, we’ve got a variety of options that say ‘yee-haw,’ but like in a sweet, subtle way. (browse our favorite denim dresses here!). complete the look with cowgirl boots + maybe even a cowgirl hat, if you’re feelin’ it.

if you want something a little more ‘soft cowgirl-core,’ our daymaker dress // strawberry bliss is the move. an exclusive zoco dress, it’s lightweight, flowy, + perfect for any summer outing. pair it with some red cowgirl boots + our strawberry tote bag, + you’ll be ready to hit up the honky-tonk or your local farmers market. (ps : if you’re looking for some rodeo hair ideas, we’re loving natural waves with a bandana or a satin hair wrap.)

if you’re more of a cherry girl, go for our doe zipper mini dress // cherry! super sweet with a juicy twist, it’s the perfect summer dress for a 4th of july rodeo. pair it with an oversized denim jacket if things get chilly, but be warned : you may be picked out of the crowd + demanded to be the rodeo queen based on this outfit alone. wear it at your own risk.

while we’re on the topic of rodeo queens, let’s talk about her highness : the lover denim vest. she’s cropped, she’s cool, she’s a little bit dangerous. wear this beauty over a dress or go for a full denim-on-denim ensemble + people will assume you’ve definitely ridden a horse– or like touched hay once.

something about a flowy pink romper feels so right for summer shenanigans. if you’re a coastal cowgirl or a sweet southern belle, you can never go wrong with our sophia romper. we loved it paired with tan cowboy boots + a western cowboy hat.

finally, don’t sleep on a classic summer tank dress. our charlie mini dress, posey dress, + for the girls maxi dress are our go-tos because they’re flowy, flirty, + look suspiciously good with cowgirl boots. pair them with an oversized jacket + a hat + you’ll be ready to ride! 

if you’re going to a rodeo this summer, we hope we’ve helped you secure the perfect look. for more summer outfit ideas, check out our entire zoco cowgirl collection.
