Four Boots, Twelve Looks: How We're Styling Western This Season

A good Western boot works far beyond the rodeo. In South Louisiana, boots go to tailgates, gallery nights, holiday parties and Sunday brunch, and often to all of them in one week. We took four of our favorite styles, the tall Annie and the short Jolene, each in two colors, and styled each one three ways with pieces from the Lukka racks.

The Annie in Sand Suede: Soft and Polished

Suede in a sand tone looks best with other soft neutrals. Dress it in ivory and cream from head to toe for a look that feels quietly expensive.

The gallery look: Agathe Fuzzy Collared Cardigan (L'AGENCE), Thetis Skirt in Ecr (The Garment Collection), Mini Icon Hoops (Jenny Bird) and the Dara Crossbody Bag in Tofu (Gabuteau).
The weekend look: Ruth High Rise Straight Jean (L'AGENCE), tucked in, with the Perry Crew Tee (FRANK & EILEEN), the Davy Crop Jacket in Latte Striped Fur (L'AGENCE) and the Aya Western Engraved Belt in Cognac Suede (L'AGENCE).
The evening look: Stella Dress in Heritage Brown (RAMY BROOK) under the Fleur Fur in Dark Chocolate (ZADIG & VOLTAIRE).

The Annie in Worn-In Brown: Your Everyday Workhorse

The brown Annie is the boot you'll reach for most. The distressed leather and tonal stitching go with denim, prints and plenty of attitude.

The game day look: Mila Mini Skirt in Navy Blazer (SANCTUARY), the Alexi Gameday Sweatshirt (PERFECTWHITETEE), the LSU Logo Claw Clip (Baublebar), the Paige Mini Stadium Approved Bag (Clearly) and the Eggshell Palm Cowboy Hat (BALDIZ).
The date night look: Juniper Midi Skirt in Bandana Camel (CARA CARA), the Elara Scoop Neck Bodysuit in Dark Java (L'AGENCE), the Dove Double Cuff in Turquoise (Easton Elle) and the Jim Western Bag in Cognac (ZADIG & VOLTAIRE).
The cool-weather look: Stevie High Rise Straight Jean in Noir (L'AGENCE), tucked in, with the Monterey Rolled Neck Sweater (FRANK & EILEEN) and the Belleiw Long Coat (In Wear).

How Michele Wears the Annie

Slim jeans tucked into the brown Annie let every bit of stitching show. Here they're worn with the Montana Blouse in Rodeo (MARIE OLIVER) and a gold belt.

Michele in the L'AGENCE Ava Lace Cuff Blouse, MOTHER jeans and brown Annie boots

One outfit, two ways: the Ava Lace Cuff Blouse (L'AGENCE) with Mid Rise Dazzler jeans (MOTHER) and the brown Annie, then the same look with the Bianca Jacket in Plaid Combo (RAMY BROOK) layered on top for cooler days.

Michele in the Frank & Eileen Eileen shirt in Pink Turquoise Plaid, jeans and brown Annie boots

The Eileen Relaxed Button-Up Shirt in Pink Turquoise Plaid (FRANK & EILEEN), sleeves rolled, with slim jeans tucked in is the easiest weekend look there is.

The Jolene in Red: The Statement

The Jolene in red, with its cream inlay, deserves the spotlight. Keep the rest of the outfit simple, and choose hems that show off the shaft.

The festival look: Glam Asymmetric Tee in Ecr (The Garment Collection) with the Kendra High Rise Crop Flare Jean (L'AGENCE). The cropped flare lands right above the boot.
The downtown look: Gilian Bustier in Black (The Garment), the Louise Faux Leather Short (DEREK LAM 10 CROSBY), the Logan Cardigan in Black (CARA CARA) and the Georgia Red Mix Hat (ERIC JAVITS).
The holiday look: Karima Tweed Blazer in Merlot Red/Ecru (L'AGENCE) over the Bergen Scallop Mini Dress (The Garment Collection). The red and ecru tweed picks up both colors in the boot.

How Michele Wears the Jolene

One outfit, two ways: the Oona Continuous Button-Up Shirt in Red Plaid (FRANK & EILEEN) with the V Neck in Lace (PURE AMICI) tossed over the shoulders, then the sweater worn on with the collar and cuffs peeking out. The plaid picks up the red of the Jolene, and the ivory repeats its cream inlay.

The Jolene in Cognac: Personality That Works With Everything

The cognac Jolene has the same playful inlay in a warmer, easier tone. If you only buy one statement boot, choose this one.

The everyday look: The Denim Day Dress (FRAME) with the LZ Cognac Gold Buckle Belt (STREETS AHEAD) to match the leather.
The fall look: Jax Corduroy Shorts in Butterscotch (GENERATION LOVE), the V Neck in Lace (PURE AMICI) and the Osiris Jacquard Leopard Cardi (L'AGENCE).
The polished casual look: Galway Wide-Leg Jean in Natural (FRANK & EILEEN), the Amelia Knit Blazer in Dark Java (L'AGENCE) and the Harlow Bucket Bag in Cheetah (BTB LOS ANGELES).

Lukka Boot Rules

Short boots like the Jolene: wear them with minis or cropped flares, or tuck slim jeans in so the inlay shows.
Tall boots like the Annie: tuck in pants, or wear a hem that lands at or above the top of the boot.
Match your leather: your belt or bag should be the same tone as the boot.
Choose gold jewelry: it brings out the warmth in all four boots.
