Trend of the Week: The cowgirl

Saddle up, there’s a new trend in town. Think city silhouettes parlayed with contrasting tribal and Americana accents.

INSPIRATION

Isabel Marant chose the Frontier girl as her muse with decorative Navajo knits, Calamity Jane doily tops, yoked cowgirl shirts and studded ankle boots, while Hermes opted for the South American gaucho with baggy leather trousers and knit serape pairings. Riding high on the trend radar is the poncho – a more laissez-faire alternative to the cape, appearing just about everywhere from M-i-H Jeans to Tommy Hilfiger. The look is nonchalant, despite its statement appeal. How will you wear it?
