From the spectacle of the Kentucky Derby to the lively atmosphere of a Rodeo, equestrian events have a rich tradition of dressing the part, blending western wear with formal attire. And, whether adhering to a strict dress code or opting for a more relaxed ensemble, the key is dressing like a gentleman.
Inspired by the Western styles of Fall-Winter 2024, the Louis Vuitton Lasso Hat is spun from pale palm fibres, a perfect accessory for light wash denim looks. Glimmering turquoise “LV” letters provide a welcome contrast to the off-white palm texture. There’s even a braided leather bolo to finish it off, featuring a pearl-crusted slide and completed with turquoise accents. ($1,840)
Lightweight and versatile, overshirts a staple of men’s fall fashion. Made with micro-patterned fabric, the BOSS Overshirt is a sleek and soft companion for crisp autumn days. Meanwhile, its wool texture is cut for a casual fit, balancing modern trends with timeless quality. ($645)
It wouldn’t be a Western-inspired roundup without a nod to Italy — spaghetti Westerns played a massive role in shaping the style. Crafted in the Italian hamlet of Solomeo, this pair is spun from a blend of cotton and virgin wool, finished with buckles on the side and a back welt pocket. Lined from the knee up, it makes a comfortable layer for fall ‘fits. ($2,250)
Stylish and slick but soft as a feather, this jacket is an instant hit. Bronze-y light brown shades add warmth to the look, recalling the sun-drenched desert landscapes of our favourite Westerns while checked cotton lining adds a vintage touch. Glazed by hand and treated with water-repellent, this suede jacket is ready for anything. ($7,990)
These Dior diamond sunglasses come with not one, but two lenses. There’s beige clip-ons (pictured above), which come with a metallic gold bar to lend an aviator-style silhouette and original grey shades underneath. The shiny, silver-finished metal sparkles in the sunlight, while diamond CD motifs add a touch of elegance. ($1,030)
ECCO’s brogue shoes put a sophisticated spin on high-quality, durable materials — the brand’s signature. With textile laces and removable soles, finding the right fit is a breeze. Meanwhile, trademark FluidForm technology adds a plush feel to every step. ($335)
Sometimes, style is simple. That’s why this sleek, reversible leather belt from Paul & Shark made it on our list. One side is smooth and refined, while the other features rough, embossed leather — a versatile staple. ($220)
This Prada bag has zippers, flaps, buckles for every adventure; that includes a detachable pouch and an adjustable shoulder strap. It’s well-constructed, effortlessly adapting to every form. Plus, it’s made with Prada ReNylon — a regenerative nylon yarn spun from textile debris, fishing nets, and purified plastic. This bag is forward-thinking, down to its last thread. ($3,700)
