Texas Chic Attire
"Texas chic" attire combines classic cocktail attire with Texas-inspired accessories and elements for a stylish, yet relaxed look. Here's what that could look like:
- A cocktail dress with a Western twist, like leather accents, fringe, or a subtle floral or paisley print.
- Stylish cowboy boots or elegant heels. Pairing boots with a dress is a signature Texas chic look.
- Statement pieces like turquoise jewelry, silver accents, or a cowboy hat with a sophisticated touch.
- A suit or classic blazer and well-fitted jeans (Texas Tuxedo) paired with Western elements like boots, a bolo tie, a belt buckle or a cowboy hat.
- If you aren’t in your western era, you can never go wrong with maroon and gold themed cocktail attire!
