Incredible Costume Ideas for a Western-Themed Party

Dressing up for a party with a western theme is a cinch. Key garments you’ll need are probably already hanging in your closet. For accessories, thrift and costume shops carry a range of options for you and your kids. Cowboy hats, chaps, neckerchiefs, bolo ties, leather belts and even boots are often available, with different colors and styles on the racks.

But which pieces do you put together? Here’s a breakdown of some looks you can work with if you’re strapped for time and cash:

•    Channel Daisy Duke with short denim cutoff shirts and a plaid shirt. Wear your hair in a well-brushed ponytail. Finish it off with a straw cowgirl hat and western-style belt buckle.

•    Pair your denim skinny jeans with a fitted button-front shirt and a fancy jewel-embellished buckle to get that rodeo queen appeal. Take it up a notch by buying a lasso and a pair of chaps, which you can wear from the belt downward. Cowboys originally used chaps to protect themselves from sticker bushes and other elements.

•    Go casual with a denim miniskirt or khaki pants. Slip into a tight-fit white shirt accessorized with a black vest and bolo tie. If you want to stand out, style your hair in ringlets and apply red lipstick. You can also get a red tea towel and wear this as a neckerchief. Continue the red theme with a pair of boots in that color. Costume shops offer low-priced rubber versions, which may not be suitable for everyday use, but are good enough for a night of partying. 

•    Dress up in a prairie skirt that is long, but no floor-length. This way, you can still show off your cowgirl boots.

•    Pay homage to sheriffs through a western-style shirt, fringed leather pants and cowboy hat ensemble. For a more contemporary feel, add a leather jacket. But don’t forget the key elements: a leather badge, holster and water gun. All three you can easily purchase from a costume or toy store. 

•    Think pop culture and icons. Dress up your children as a country music artist, may it be McGraw, Kenny Chesney or Garth Brooks. Or take your cue from The Lone Ranger. Just have them put on kids cowboy hats  and the rest of the look will follow.

•    Want an alternative to the cowboy and cowgirl getup? Consider Indian-inspired costumes such as those from the Pocahontas movie. A sleeveless leather top matched with pants in the same material will be perfect for men. For women, a leather blouse and short skirt will do the trick. Accessorize with beaded necklaces and bracelets. You can also opt to wear a hand- or armband adorned with a feather. Finish the look off by slipping on native-style slippers or moccasins. For a fun touch, consider incorporating face paint or makeup, and body henna.

When deciding on your costume, think beyond style. Consider which pieces make you feel comfortable. And go for the look that you know you can pull off with confidence. Lastly, don’t be afraid to buck convention and try something new and crazy.
