Fringe & Cow-Print: Western Trends You’ll See Everywhere This Fall & How to Style Them with Conejo Western Wear

Fall 2025 is shaping up to be a moment when Western flair meets streetwear edge. From dramatic fringe in motion to bold cow-print accents, what was once niche rode into the mainstream. At Conejo Western Wear, we see these trends not just as fashion statements, but as opportunities to weave heritage, authenticity, and craftsmanship into everyday style.

Trend 1 – Fringe Makes a Big Comeback

Fringe is no longer reserved for fringe jackets at concerts—it’s showing up everywhere: jackets, skirts, boots, and even accessories. Celebrities like Dua Lipa and Julianne Moore are leaning into this Western-boho style, bringing fringe front and center in seasonal editorials and red carpets. 

Fringe evokes movement, storytelling, and tradition. It reminds us of horsehair tassels, saddle detailing, charro elements—all deeply rooted in Western Mexican craftsmanship.

Trend 2 – Cow Print Goes Mainstream

Cow print once seen as novelty is now a leading pattern for fall footwear, bags, and accent pieces. Designers and street-style stars are using it as a striking neutral, often pairing cow-print boots or accessories with minimalist outfits. 

It’s the kind of print that immediately signals Western influence, without being overblown. Think of it as a heritage accent rather than a costume.

How Conejo Western Wear Connects

At Conejo, we believe these trends aren’t fads they align with what we’ve always produced: handcrafted elements, artisan detail, and designs that respect tradition while adapting for modern style.

• Fringe-ready accessories and pieces: Shoes, boots, or bags with fringe details honor the craftsmanship of saddlery and apparel typical in Mexican Western wear.
  
  

• Cow-print accents: Whether in handbags, belts, or boot trims, cow-print allows you to lean into Western identity while staying versatile.
  
  

• Explore our accessories collection to see pieces that could be perfect as trend anchors. 

Style Tips – Make the Trends Yours

Here are ways to incorporate these trends with intention:

• Use fringe sparingly if you’re new: try it on a jacket edge, boot fringe, or bag strap rather than a full fringe dress.
  
  

• Let cow-print be an accent: a bag, hatband, or boot detail. Pair with plains or denim to balance it.
  
  

• Mix textures: leather, suede, tooled belts, embroidery all work beautifully with fringe and prints.
  
  

• Wear it proudly in cultural or community gatherings, rodeos, or music festivals—moments where Western wear resonates deeply.

Why These Trends Matter

These trends aren’t just visual; they reflect a broader movement:

• A resurgence of heritage aesthetics in popular culture.
  
  

• An urge for authenticity people want their clothes to tell a story.
  
  

• A blending of Western heritage with everyday wear, showing that these designs can be both functional and expressive.
