The Western trend has made a major splash on the runways and is becoming more popular with celebrities. Since the 1950s, the fashion industry has been fascinated with the lifestyle of cowboys and the western ambiance. It keeps reappearing in new and effervescent ways. During the LaQuan Smith SS20 show in September, I gasped with joy at his urbanized approach to the trend. He took classic staples and made them high fashion but wearable. And we know that the trend ain't going nowhere since it's officially been sanctioned by the fashion gods.
Whether it's a hat or a top or boots or a dress, there are various ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe without looking like you're trying too hard.

Reports indicate that women constitute 39.1% of business owners, and this percentage is steadily rising. In light of this, let’s celebrate and support women-owned businesses this month.
Here are a few ways to do so: shop at their establishments, leave positive reviews, follow and engage with them on social media, collaborate with them, or contribute to their crowdfunding efforts.
Support Women's Rights Groups

Since President Trump took office, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented number of rights being reversed, including DEI programs. Women have been particularly concerned about his decision regarding abortion and reproductive rights. Recently, he dismissed the Idaho Emergency Abortion case, which was a legal battle to ensure Idahoans had access to emergency abortion care.
Writing in her Substack blog, Abortion, Everyday, journalist and abortion rights advocate, Jessica Valenti, said, “By dropping this case, the Trump administration is sending a clear message that anti-abortion states don’t have to adhere to [the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act] by giving pregnant patients life-saving care.”
Instead of waiting on Trump's next move regarding women's rights, support women's rights organizations and charities like In Our Own Voice Action Fund and Planned Parenthood.
Empower Others
