Mini dresses offer lots of versatility with cowboy boots, as you can wear them with a short to knee-high pair. Choose any style of dress, from contemporary and sleek, to frilly and floral to suit your mood and style. Shirtdress and Cowboy Boots Shop from Free People, Revolve and Saks Off Fifth

Style it with a classic cowboy boot color that compliments the dress. Brown, tan or beige cowboy boots give it an extra country/earthy feel. Add a straw handbag to make most of your look. I love this dress in particular as embodies a subtle but recognizable western flair. Like the flounced hem, contrast buttons and the western yoke (aka top seam) that give it a yee-haw feel.The right shirt dress with cowboy boots can look amazing. And you don't even have to reach for a western-looking shirtdress unless you want to. Classic belted shirt dresses, wide and roomy ones and denim fabric shirt dresses are all contenders. When wearing pants with your cowboy boots, have your pants come down to the foot of the boot or a little longer. Do not have them long enough to drag on the floor. They are too short if the hem lands at your ankle. Long dresses with cowboy boots are such a great combination! Especially if you're pairing a tired, flowy or embroidered western dress to wear cowboy boots with.

You’ll notice that there aren’t many dresses that don’t look great with western boots. However, certain dress styles and lengths are better styled with particular cowboy boots. Some dresses look better with taller or midcalf cowgirl boots, while others pair best with a shorter style of boots. Shorter dresses work well with ankle or knee high cowboy boots, while longer button-down styles will work well with any style boot. Add a western belt if you want to go all out, or keep things simple with minimal gold jewels and a small leather handbag.
