#CORPORATECOWGIRL

Y’all know we love to hashtag a collection, and one of the key ones we’re focusing on in this collection is #corporatecowgirl and how Wide Open Trails can help work a little Western into your work wardrobe.

“Here’s the thing,” Cheryl said. “For a long while, Western wear was for the weekend. Or at least it kind of felt that way, there was just kind of that stigma. But if you do it right, there’s room for a touch of twang in your day job without compromising your professionalism. Our Wolf Pack has a lot of strong, successful women – DDR belongs in the boardroom.”

Listen, we believe wearing what you want when and where you want, but there is an expected level of decorum when it comes to the corporate world, and the Wide Open Trails collection is respectively suited to rise to the challenge.

MATCHING SETS

This is a trend across all of fashion right now, and it’s perfectly primed for your work wardrobe. The style itself is inherently polished, it makes you appear intentional and put-together. Whether you go elevated and ultra-chic with the luxe leather Bandit Blazer and Bandit Pant (which come in three colors and work mixed or matched!) or a more distinct duo like the Bushranger, one thing is for sure: it’s definitely not your mama’s bland, boring ol’ pantsuit.

FINER FABRICS

If you want to feel different, try feeling different. Literally. Material matters. Not only is it empowering on the inside when you invest a little in some quality staples that actually feel good to wear, but it has a significant impact in elevating your appearance. Try adding pieces like the sleek silk Ada Blouse, the luxe leather Josie Skirt, or the always irresistible “butter booty” Bandit Pant into your collection and see how different you feel walking into work.

STRUCTURED CLASSICS

Speaking of fine fabrics, the cashmeres in this collection are excellent examples of worthwhile investment staples because you can count on them to be both quality and classic (which should be integral elements when buying wardrobe builders), and the vest and blazer both have straight-line silhouettes that will style well in your work wardrobe. The same is true for the aforementioned Bandit Blazer with its wide notch lapel and tailored waist, all the high-waisted wide-leg trousers that are trending, and the Ava Jacket, which is our take on the iconic trench.

DAY TO NIGHT

Versatility is paramount in pieces you pick for your weekday wardrobe because let’s face it, life’s busy! Styling yourself in such a way that it’s both professional but also your personality means you can make that office-to-afterhours transition without changing anything but maybe your shoes. So much of the Wide Open Trails collection is designed so that you can simply swap your stilettos for some Spaghetti Westerns and you can go from the boardroom to boot-scootin’ without missing a beat!
