Kate Spade wants you to do a Western this season

Go Go West the feminine way.

The great US of A has bestowed us with some icons over the years: country singers, apple pie, coke, Disney movies and…Netflix. But in today’s context where anything goes (trust us, we’ve seen it all), dressing up like the former isn’t a stretch because Kate Spade has done the legwork for you this season with some western classics.

The western boot, the paisley print blouse, rhinestones and spangles and the flannel shirt: just four items that Kate Spade woman has picked up during her visit to Nashville, Tennessee after seasons of traveling abroad (sporty in New Orleans, ethnic in Mexico, and Slavic style in Russia).

The Pretty Earring.

There’s a reason why the queen of country music, Dolly Parton has named the rose as the inspiration for some of her songs: they’re a universal crowd pleaser and so are these earrings.

Artisanal Rose Linear earrings, $180.

The Cowboy Boot.

image

The height isn’t vertiginous (aka ankle-snapping) and neither is it in a hard-to-match colour: the classic cowboy boot gets a feminine upgrade with embroidered flowers.

Dalton boots, $1,000.

The conspicuous USA-Skirt.

image

We’re calling it conspicuous because it has red, blue and white on it (sans black) but look past the obvious reference and what you have is a beautiful skirt that works for weekends as it does for work.

Deaco beale skirt, $930.

The rhinestone necklace.

image

The hats were meant to block out sun, the denim was thick to withstand labour and scarves were used to protect their noses from dust: the one-piece western women wore to bling themselves out? Anything rhinestone studded just like this necklace.

Glitzville fringe collar necklace, $340.

The jacquard jacket.

image

Sometimes, you might hanker for a jacket that looks like you picked it up from a cool thrift store that nobody knows but in case the thought of delving into a musty store doesn’t work in your favour: this jacket is the real deal.

Medallion jacquard jacket, $900.

The vintage-looking blouse.

image

Case in point for the former: it also comes in a tropical-weather friendly alternative.

Medallion metallic blouse, $580.

The prairie dress.

image

It’s called the Rhiannon: a possible reference to the iconic Fleetwood Mac song but if you’ve been into trends over the last five years, you’d notice that one of them is dressing like Florence Welch. But sorry fans, Stevie Nicks made prairie dresses cool and so can you with this dress.

Rhiannon dress, $1,300.

The feminine flannel shirt.

image

We were confused too with the two words because it’s almost like saying peanut butter and soya sauce go together (but if you enjoy the latter combo, we ain’t judging). But for those hankering for a flannel shirt that doesn’t scream “my boyfriend won’t know I nicked this”, this one is an option.

Flannel shirt, $310.

The everyday tote.

image

In the ‘90s, The Sam exploded in popularity because women finally realised, hey, I can actually buy a fashionable bag that fits all my things and actually looks designer. Fast forward two decades later, Kate Spade knows what women want: The Sarah, the older sister of The Sam made in every style and colour.

Sarah bag, $900.

The Gossip Girl meets Pearl Hart dress.

image

The length of the dress will work for Serena van der Woodsen and the colourway and embellishments work for Pearl Hart (google her, she’s one bad ass woman). Will it work for you? We say yes, but only with simpler things like a white sneaker and a classic bag.

Western embellished dress, $930.
