We’re always looking for ways to refresh our jeans, and Stacey Dooley’s western-inspired styling offers a polished, yet casual twist that will make any denim look feel more contemporary this spring.
Enjoying the Australian sunshine in Sydney, Stacey played into the bright, sunny weather by wearing a simple, grey t-shirt and a pair of lightwash denim jeans. Her worn, washed denims had a flattering high waist and cropped legs, making them the perfect style to pair with tall boots, which is exactly what she did, slipping into a pair of brown, western knee-highs.
A chunky sole, squared-off toe and statement buckle detailing at the ankle refined her rodeo-style, and Stacey complemented her shoes with a wide-brimmed hat that leant into her bohemian, western style.

Made from 100% leather, these tall boots are a great alternative to Stacey's with buckle detailing and a worn, brown hue.
As well as a buckle detail, these boots have a striking embellished harness running around the ankle for added texture and interest.
A chocolate brown faux leather lends itself to versatile styling, with the buckle detail across the heel and the top of the leg.
Recreate Stacey Dooley's Western Style
As well as boasting the same statement fedora shape as Stacey's hat, this River Island piece also has an added western flair thanks to the beaded band that circles the design.
With a cropped hem, these jeans are perfect for pairing with your best knee-high boots to get a sleek and streamlined look that really shows off your footwear.
This affordable, wide flat brim fedora comes with two bands that you can easily switch out; one is a slim, belt-like band and the other is plain black style. Shoppers say it is, "Comfortable and looks great!"
Western-inspired footwear is one of the many spring/summer shoe trends for 2026, and Stacey Dooley delivers a masterclass in how to wear it for spring.
Her boots give an entirely fresh feel to her simple cropped jeans and t-shirt combination, and are a contemporary replacement for your best white trainers, especially whilst the weather remains cool.
Highlighting the western feel of her boots with a wide-brimmed hat, her outfit feels cohesive. While cropped jeans can feel a little tricky to wear, styling them with a boot brings them up-to-date and makes them spring-weather-ready, too.
