A chill may remain in the air, but summer style is officially upon us in sunny California, and we’re excited about the sneak peak of trending summer fashion seen at the Coachella music festival that is sure to be at the top of everyone’s must-have list this summer.

Summer Fashion Trends

Here are the pieces that set the stage for summer ...

Soft sacks are the bag to be seen with and prairie is the new boho with slip dresses moving to the top of the list (with or without a super soft t-shirt underneath), and paired with thigh-high boots!

Pair a gauzy top and skinny jeans with booties, or a tie-front blouse, denim cut-offs and classic cowboy boots.

The bare shoulder trend continues with off-the-shoulder dresses or tops with boyfriend jeans paired with cute booties -- the perfect combination of comfort and style.

Take a long cardigan with you to ward off the chill of the desert nights and wear it over denim cut-offs accessorized with a fabulous tote bag.

And what about men's style, you ask? You can never go wrong with a vintage t-shirt and a trophy buckle with your denim.

When in doubt, don’t think twice about slipping on your favorite pair of cowboy boots. With so much style and versatility, from ankle boots to tall boots and everything in between, there's endless ways to wear cowboy boots.

Express yourself this season. Find your favorite styles at Boot Star.

It's that time of year again! Music is in the air as people gather to hear their favorite bands and rock the new summer looks. Need some help? Whether you prefer the indie, hip-hop vibe of the Coachella Valley Music Festival or you're more of a country music fan at the Stagecoach Festival, we've got your favorite festival fashion picks.

Start at the root with the boot. You need something that says bohemian style that won't kill your feet. Our perfect festival footwear includes our tall fringe boots by Liberty Black, our short side zip boot python styles from Old Gringo and our new tall Mayra style also from Old Gringo. Or if you're looking for more classic western wear, we have the all-time favorite Old Gringo Bonnie boot, the Liberty Black Vintage Canela, and the Old Gringo Red Nevada for a classic cowgirl boot silhouette.

No pockets? No problem! Throw your essentials in a McFadin fringe bag that is both functional and fashion forward.

Our favorites:

McFadin Fringe  -  McFadin Navajo Blanket Totes  -  McFadin Sundance Fringe

Finally, don't forget to protect that pretty face from the sun! Top it all off with a classic Stetson western hat.

Our favorites:

Is it spring yet? We are ready to wave goodbye to winter and embrace the summer sun again. We’re dusting off our Stetsons and sliding on those daisy dukes. But what’s the best thing to finish off any spring look? Why, cowboy boots of course!

Old Gringo Flor Loca Red, Klak, and Red Nevada

Forget pastels this spring and dive right into color with these looks by Old Gringo. Pair these striking beauties with jeans and a classic tee and let the cowboy boots do the talking.

Old Gringo Mayra Bug, Mini Belinda, and Biker Boots

Spring wouldn’t be spring without florals, but that doesn’t mean you can’t show some attitude. Pair those feminine frills with a boot with edge – studs never looked so sweet.

Old Gringo Milano Baby Brass, Milano Calf Uxmel Milano Black, and Chocolate Hawk

We didn’t forget you gentlemen either. Keep cool and classy in one of our ankle zip boots. Leave the sneakers at home and throw these on with those beat up Levi’s we know you love.

Old Gringo Hanna Harness Black, Rios Kango Lux Ostrich, and Old Gringo Nevada Black

If the traditional tall boot is more your style, these western boots will look great dressed up for a hot date, or dressed down for some beers with the guys.

Whatever your look, pull those bad boys on and enjoy being the coolest one under the sun. We know we will.

Looking for a pair of classic cowboy boots to last you a lifetime? The fine people at Rios of Mercedes have got you covered. With a history of quality western boots since 1853, they’ve been churning out amazing boots from the heart of America: Mercedes, Texas.

Naturally, we here at Boot Star are committed to bringing a special collection of boot styles to our customers, crafted from American-made leathers. After collaborating with the friendly folks at Rios, we have assembled here our exclusive line of Rios of Mercedes boot designs by Boot Star.

From the Horween Tannery in Chicago, to the S.B. Foot Tannery in Redwing, Minnesota, to each handmade stitch in Texas, these beauties are as timeless as they are authentic. Fit for city-slickers and mud-slingers alike, these cowboy boots for men are built to last.

As we transition out of Indian Summer, let's turn down Mungo Jerry's 'In the Summertime' and finally pack away our flip-flops, cut-off denim shorts and straw hats for the season. As the days become shorter and the evenings grow cooler, grab your warmest Pendleton blanket, turn up Ellington and Coltrane's 'In a Sentimental Mood,' and think about how to create your own unique style. If you're not sure where to begin, here are some of our favorite pieces from a few timeless brands: Old Gringo, Liberty Black, Stetson and Silver King.

GETTING READY FOR FALL -- MEN'S FALL FASHION -- AMERICAN MADE

For years we have supplied products that we believe in; items that we are proud to carry and pieces that we wear. We are pleased to offer a line of men's products that are American Made.

In collaboration with the Los Angeles, California-based shirt maker, Dixon Rand, we believe we have created the best fitting, snap button, boot stitched pocket detail denim western shirt. With careful selection, we've kept to the classics in leather motorcycle jackets from the iconic leather powerhouse based in New Jersey -- Schott Leather. We've also added to our growing selection of t-shirts for not only men, but can also be worn by women. "The Chicken Ranch" by Bandit Brand has quickly become a favorite. Our handmade plain, tooled, and exotic belts from California and New Mexico can be worn as is with a simple buckle or with a trophy buckle from Comstock Heritage, which is based in the same state as our second location, Nevada. The handmade Coronado Leather bags made in San Diego, CA use Horween leather from Chicago for bags that can be utilized as a gym, work or weekend bag. Last, but certainly not least, is our most recent collaboration with one of our favorite boot companies -- Rios of Mercedes. Straight from the southern tip of Texas, the good people at Rios have been the perfect marriage of creativity and quality.

Each pair of Liberty Black boots for women is one-of-a-kind footwear. They are unique because each shoe or boot is hand treated with hand dying, brushing, burning, washing, etc. to give the leathers the Liberty Black personality. From tall, harness-style riding boots, to fringe boots, to classic cowgirl styles, to short and sassy ankle boots, there's a boot for every closet! In a wide array of colors for every season and every outfit, Liberty Black boots embrace individuality. Two of our favorite new additions to our growing selection of Liberty Black boots include concho embellishments! Take your pick from a short zip ankle boot or a traditional western boot with mule ears.

Keep watching for new, unique, and innovative styles by Liberty Black at Boot Star Online!

With Halloween right around the corner, you can pay homage to "Dia De Los Muertos" and shop our Old Gringo Klak featuring black leather adorned with festive multicolored embroidery of Day of the Dead sugar skulls on top and foot.

Here at Boot Star we have a unique collection of jewelry, belt buckles, and hand-carved skulls from the talented Lee Downey. Based in Bali, Lee travels the world in search of precious stones and various materials to create intricate pieces of art. When we see Lee a few times a year, we carefully select pieces that we not only love and admire, but also feel add another element of uniqueness to our stores. Some of these pieces include a hand-carved amber skull, a hand-engraved sterling silver trophy buckle with mammoth ivory and fossilized clam shell that has also been hand-carved into a skull shape.
