Cowboy boots are the major footwear trend to emerge from this year’s autumn/winter runways.
From steel toe-capped to patent leather and thigh-high to dainty ankle styles, everyone from Fendi to Calvin Klein, Isabel Marant and Chloé demanded this season you unleash your inner cowgirl.
And although the refreshing style definitely makes us want to jump onboard with the trend, styling the shoe from the Deep South can, at first, seem tricky.
To help you test the trend, the Evening Standard's Sabrina Carder and Chloe Street styled the shoes for every eventuality, from daytime to date night and office-appropriate to out out.
We’ll soon have you rocking that rodeo from high noon to midnight.
Daytime
Head-to-toe white AND cowboy boots for the office? We hear you cry.
But bear with us because not only does this look tick off two of the season’s major trends in one, but it’s the perfect way to add some seriously stylish seriousness to the once-boho boot style.
Plus we challenge you not to feel like a total boss in the boardroom.

Office
It's no secret that a midi dress has become a trusty staple in our work wardrobe, come rain or shine.
For autumn, simply switch out those sneakers for a pair of block-heeled western boots, not that much of a step up from the humble ankle boot, but are sure to give your ensemble an added kick.
If you are feeling dubious stick to a tonal colour scheme and you can't go wrong.

Date night
Date night and cowboy boots may not seem like an obvious choice, but they can actually be a winning combination.
A retro pair of white boots coupled with a plaid midi skirt is the best way to create an effortlessly cool rodeo-to-restaurant vibe.

Out out
Say the words 'cowboy boots' and chances are you don’t envisage anything black tie appropriate.
But opt for shorter ankle-length styles in super svelte black or dark-hued patent and there’s nothing to say you can’t rock that rodeo right into the disco or even the ballroom.
Spruce ‘em up with bare legs and plenty of luxe bling.
