This is Ozaki from the ApaprelX trend blog.
There are many trends in the apparel industry, but recently, due to the influence of social media, new and smaller trends have been emerging one after another.
(I think the big trends in the industry change rather slowly...)
Among all these styles, the one I'm paying attention to is the western style, which is starting to be called cowboy core .
This time, we will introduce you to Cowboy Core!
Cowboy core, as the name suggests, is a style that involves wearing items that resemble cowboys and cowgirls.
However, instead of wearing a full western style outfit like a typical cowboy look, you can wear just one western item.
Mixing it with luxury style is the mainstream of cowboy core.
This style was first sparked by American celebrities and musicians.
First, musician and current Louis Vuitton creative director Pharrell Williams will be appearing in the brand's Fall/Winter 2024-25 collection.
The brand introduced a style that heavily incorporated cowboy and western elements.
World-famous musician Beyonce is also one of the people who promoted the cowboy style.
He attended the Grammy Awards wearing a cowboy hat and released an album titled "Cowboy Carter" in March 2024.
She is originally from Texas and is familiar with cowboy culture, including country music, making her an icon of this style.
Other famous models such as Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner also wear cowboy style items.
This style is becoming a major movement.
There are several western items that are incorporated into cowboy core, but the cowboy hat is a prime example.
Both Pharrell Williams and Beyonce, mentioned above, have appeared wearing cowboy hats at collections and parties.
This is a bit off topic, but Pharrell Williams often wore long-brimmed hats about 10 years ago, and it seems like that style has returned with an even more refined look.
Western boots are also a symbol of cowboys. Before they became a trend, they were not very popular, but with this boom, they are getting attention again.
Western boots are available from a wide range of brands, including Pharrell Williams' Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, Isabel Marant, and Ganni.
When you think of cowboys, leather jackets and pants are typical items.
Back then, cowboys wore items made from real leather, but nowadays, they also wear items made from synthetic leather and eco-leather.
Denim items are also indispensable for the western style. At the time, cowboys and cowgirls wore denim as work clothes.
Not only pants, but denim jackets and denim shirts are also central items of this boom.
Hats and boots can be a bit obvious and difficult to incorporate into your outfit, but if you just use a single accent, it may be easier to incorporate this trend.
There are many different types of decorations found in the Western style, and fringe is a prime example.
Not only leather and denim, but also non-western items decorated with fringe are likely to be popular in this trend.
From here, we will introduce recommended products for cowboy core style that can be ordered from ApparelX.
This is Yoshiwa Orimono's standard denim textile. It comes in a wide variety of colors and is sold in stock, making it a very versatile product.

This is a smooth cotton dungaree, perfect for tops.
This is a textile that we would definitely recommend for western shirts.
This is a synthetic leather textile that looks like cowhide.
Recently, an increasing number of brands are opting out of using real leather for sustainability reasons, and synthetic leather materials are also gaining attention.
It can also be washed with water, making it suitable for a wide range of uses.
This is a metallic synthetic leather textile by gluing aluminum to a slightly thin material.
It has a strong shine and gives a dazzling impression.
At first glance it doesn't look very western, but in cowboy core, the mix of luxury is also a key point.
A fabric with this much textile might be interesting.

This is a suede-like textile that is fuzzy on one side.
Made of polyester, it is easy to handle and does not fade easily.
It is recommended to use it as a main ingredient or as a partial ingredient.

The material is polyester/polyurethane, making it an easy-to-use product.

Although it doesn't have as much of a western feel as suede, this type of material seems to be more on-trend among the cowboy core.
This is a product that we would like you to incorporate into your life in a balanced way with a classic western feel.

As mentioned above, the mix of luxury and style is an important element of cowboy core.
