Coastal cowgirl: what is it and how to rock the trend
After coastal grandma and coastal granddaughter, there’s another offshore-themed TikTok trend taking the internet by storm: it’s time for the coastal cowgirl!
The hashtag #coastalcowgirl has amassed 51.7 million views as of mid April, establishing the trend’s viral status. But TikTok isn’t the only driving force behind the new aesthetic’s popularity: numerous celebs, including Kendall Jenner, have become coastal cowgirls themselves, sharing their rustic looks on Instagram.
It very much seems like coastal cowgirl will be one of the hottest trends for summer 2023! If you’ve been wondering how to rock the aesthetic, you’re in the right place: here’s a comprehensive guide to the coastal cowgirl look.
The staples: cowboy hats and boots
No cowboy outfit could be defined as such without the classic cowboy hat/boots combo. According to Stylight’s recent trend report on coastal cowgirl, the demand for these two items has increased by 381% and 47% respectively.

Coastal fabrics: linen, denim, and light knits
Being a summer trend, coastal cowgirl mainly involves summery and cool fabrics, such as linen, paired with a good old pair of denim shorts. But summer nights can be chilly, and cowgirls need to stay warm: enter the light knit jumper in cotton or one-ply wool. Stylight has registered a 54% increase in searches for light summer knits.
