The Sartorialist

Those buckles look like medals or awards . . .

Thanks for sharing the style within the rodeo community. I would say great style manifests itself in all matters of recreational and professional pursuits. Think golf course or ski hill.

From my time in road cycling, looking good was a big part of the experience. No different from an urban setting.

that's because they are awards! and you can't wear a buckle you didn't win…strict cowboy code.

Loving this taste of Americana! Very nice, Scott!

Love the belts!

Love this, I was in colorado, new mexico, arizona and Utah in the summer, and everybody was dressed like this, its amazing, we felt so out of place though, we went to a rodeo, and it was tough enough to wear pink, so everybody was in cowboys boots, jeans, hate, pink shirts, and belt, and I was in a shirt dress and glads, i felt rather english, haha.

I would love to see an uptown use that belt with some high end pieces. Could be really fun!

Love the belts!

it is refreshing to see such BIG BEAUTIFUL SMILES!!

Those smiles!! :D Outshine their belt buckles. :3

(hmm, hope that doesn't sound derogatory… >>;; )

I love cowgirls. I did a cowgirl them on a blog post a few posts back. These photos are great! xoxo

So straightforward, so unaffected, so refreshingly free of snark, irony, and attitude. Bravo!

Horse-loving girls finally get their due!

This is the small town mountain West's business casual.

Those buckles are enormous! Are they in rodeo or boxing? Nice fade on the denims.

Thank you for posting more non-fashion industry folks. This isn't a look I'm so into, but it doesn't matter, I love seeing something different and they're adorable!

lovely ladies with radiant smiles. life must be good in that part of the world. keep up your traditions and carry your heritage with pride. God bless.

second pic is great! they look totally natural, normal and beautiful. no posing here. a refreshing change.

This series is so great, Sart.

Thank you for brightening my day!

In the early 80s, I did a cross-country roadtrip with friends & just happened to hit Laramie, Wyoming during a rodeo. People were so nice to our little band of punk rockers & explained everything about how the different contests work, etc. It was a highlight of our trip.

(well that and that we just happened to hit Graceland on the ten year anniversary of Elvis's death. Again, people were so excited that a bunch of punks were fans. We didn't explain that our arrival then was pure accident!)

i am so glad you photographed this beautiful talented girl! i've known her my whole life & she is wonderful!!!

Sweet cowgirls :)
