If you are a connoisseur of western fashion, then as December draws near, you are likely scouring the internet and local boutiques for the perfect outfits to make your style statement at the largest western event in the U.S., the Super Bowl of rodeo, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR).  

The truth of the matter is, western fashion is constantly on its A-Game, long before WNFR outfits are a thought in any woman’s mind. These boutiques are constantly bringing in new arrivals, and are known for spotting the hottest trends long before they are ever the least bit popular in mainstream fashion.

Each year, we break down the best places to shop for the perfect western looks, but this year we took it to the next level. We invited 40 of western fashion’s most popular fashionistas to nominate and vote on this year’s Best of the West Boutiques. With almost 100 boutiques nominated and two voting rounds later, our favorite fashionistas narrowed it down to an international list of 20 awesome western stores!
