subject: The Inexplicable Draw Of Cowboy Boots [print this page] If you have ever looked at a fashion trend sweeping across your local community, state, or even the nation and wondered sincerely what exactly everyone who bought into the trend saw in the apparel they were wearing, you are certainly not alone. From time to time, widespread trends of every kind spread like wildfire and take root in many areas of the nation, no matter how different their ideas and normal fashions may be at any other given time. And every time one of these trends takes hold, there will always be people who question the early adopters of the trend and continue to have a skeptical viewpoint even after nearly everyone else has converted to the side of favoring the fashion trend or at least observing it without a complaint. Obviously, even the most popular trends are not going to be universally accepted by everyone as great ideas because every single person has unique tastes and preferences, even those who dont always readily offer their opinion on fashion, accessories, or style in general.
Because everyone has different viewpoints and opinions on different types of fashion and style, the most widespread and popular apparel will have at least some detractors, and the most distinct and unconventional types of fashion will have ardent proponents. While these are extreme cases, the concept that can be illustrated is that generally anything in the realm of fashion will be loved by some and hated by others.
Although certainly not at the polar extreme on either side of the debate, one type of fashion that has passionate fans and detractors is western fashion. Often, the brunt of the criticism or praise rests upon cowboy boots, as even those who dont follow western fashion as a whole are enthusiastic about the boots and wear them regularly. It is unclear why these particular items of footwear inspire such debate, particularly when other typical western fashions, such as jeans, dont inspire strong feelings either way. Regardless of that, though, the reality is that cowboy boots do impassion their fans and their critics in a way that few other accessories do. The boots arouse a lot of unspoken fans as well as a lot of equally outspoken opponents, which makes them a hot topic of conversation in many fashion settings. But despite all of the noise and opinions, one thing doesnt change people still wear these boots quite frequently.
