If there is one trend that’s been getting our attention lately—it’s the horse girl aesthetic. The trend stems from countless memes and TikTok videos describing “that girl” we all knew in middle school who was obsessed with horses. You know, the one who was slightly quirky but had a killer wardrobe of snap-button shirts, buckle belts, and bootcut jeans. Well, the fashion industry has taken note and has, in turn, taken equestrian-inspired clothing and made it the trendiest look of the fall.
The horse-girl look has taken off thanks to celebs like Kendall Jenner, Olivia Rodrigo, and Bella Hadid. With the latter of the A-Listers strutting her stuff just this weekend in a Yellowstone-approved look. Hadid was spotted leaving a meeting in Midtown Manhattan wearing a fitted black polo sweater that was just the slightest bit sheer, a crisp pair of white trousers, chic cowboy boots, and a fringed suede Valentino Garavani “Nellcote” bag.

While Hadid’s Valentino bag certainly added a charming and rustic touch to her outfit, the black leather cowboy boots really earned her look the horse girl seal of approval. Hadid’s boots are an excellent choice of footwear for those who want to dip their toe into the equestrian-inspired trend without looking like they just stepped out of a raucous rodeo.
I know it might sound crazy, but this aesthetic is perfect for those wanting to exude an air of quiet luxury but still yearning to have a bit of fun with their fashion. The sleek design of a pointed cowboy booty goes with nearly any fall outfit, but it has just enough charm and character to prevent it from being boring. Trust me, as someone who considers themselves a bit of a ‘Horse Boy’, cowboy boots will become the gift that keeps on giving in your closet rotation.
So whether you’re getting ready to line dance or just take a stroll down the street, scroll ahead as we have the perfect cowboy boots for you to shop for now.
