While western wear isn't a new phenomenon, the growing popularity of this generations-old style of dressing is at an all-time high.
From Louis Vuitton's western spin on fall fashion to many of Beyoncé's recent looks themed around her chart-topping, country-inspired "Cowboy Carter," western wear is having a special moment in fashion that's undeniable and inspiring.
"Western style has persisted through the years due to its rich heritage, symbolizing freedom, adventure, and rugged individualism," Los Angeles-based fashion stylist and designer Amiraa Vee told "GMA." "These themes resonate deeply in various cultural narratives around the world."
She continued, "Western style also offers a connection to history and a simpler, more grounded way of life, contrasting with the rapid pace of modern living. Its adaptability allows it to evolve with contemporary trends while retaining its core elements, making it timeless yet fresh and relevant."
Vee went on to point to notables such as Dolly Parton who has effortlessly incorporated dazzling Western looks into many of her public appearances as well as Ralph Lauren who was instrumental in popularizing western style within high fashion.
"The TV series 'Yellowstone' has also brought western style back into the spotlight, with characters wearing everything from classic cowboy hats and boots to modern interpretations of western fashion, influencing contemporary wardrobe choices," Vee said.

"Cowboy hats are the quintessential symbol of the West adding a statement of confidence to any outfit," said Vee.
Vee recommends to look for classic cowboy boots or ones that have quality leather, intricate stitching, or even bold colors as well as patterns for a unique touch.
"Denim is durable and versatile and a core element in Western wear," said Vee. "High-waisted jeans, denim jackets, and chambray shirts can all contribute to a cohesive Western look."
Vee highlights that rich leather and suede textures are a great addition to western wear and a nod to the rugged outdoors.
"Fringe and embroidery details add movement and interest, paying homage to traditional Western craftsmanship," said Vee.
