Cool in Blue: Fun Women’s Rodeo Outfits

May 6, 2015 - posted by Misti Kosoff

Rodeo season is gearing up! So for both the serious competitor and the die-hard rodeo fan, we have the rodeo apparel you need, to get you noticed.

Kelsey from our Clothing department helped us out by modeling both of these outfits – thanks, Kelsey!

Stay cool in blue with these fun women’s rodeo outfits by rodeo fan favorites: Wrangler, Cowgirl Tuff, and Rock 47.

Rodeo Fan Outfit

This fun Cowgirl Tuff printed tee is perfect for the rodeo or everyday. Top it off with a 6X Seratelli hat!

For cheering in the stands or after the competition, the Cowgirl Tuff cap sleeve v-neck t-shirt is a fun compliment to any jean. I have this one in my closet!

Wrangler Sadie jeans are a great choice for the rodeo!

These Sadie jeans from Wrangler look great – you’re ready to have FUN!

Wrangler’s Booty UP Sadie jeans are everything that any woman wants in one jean. These jeans lift and define the seat – which is flattering, but doesn’t compromise comfort. The right blend of cotton, polyester and spandex make them just downright comfy.

Rodeo Competitor Outfit

Gorgeous cobalt stitching and cobalt & silver sparkles make this shirt stand out.

Gorgeous cobalt stitching and cobalt & silver sparkles make this cotton shirt stand out.

This Rock 47 shirt features black gem-cut snaps on the sleeves and front, with a top button.

This Wrangler Rock 47 embroidered and embellished woven long sleeve cotton top is the perfect combination of style and flash. It features diamond blue stitching on both the front and the back around blue and silver rhinestone spots.

Ranch Menswear Inspiration

April 2, 2015 - posted by Misti Kosoff

The guys I see come in to Smith & Edwards who work a ranch, know what they like. They stick to the brands that work for them: Wrangler, Carhartt, Ariat. As a wife, it’s straightforward to get him a new shirt or new pair of jeans that I know he’ll love – because it’s just like his old ones.

Get your hard-working husband a good new vest or pair of pants for Easter: he’ll be blown away by how well you “get” what he likes.

From functional and practical, to classic and just good looking, this ranch-inspired outfit has the hard-working rancher covered.

Wrangler’s 47MWZ premium performance, advanced comfort jean was built with the working cowboy in mind. An update of the 13MWZ western original jean, the 47MWZ has a more comfortable waist, larger front pockets – for that all-important cell phone, 20% longer lasting denim, and smoother seams. All that and it looks good, too.

The Wrangler Painted Desert Basic Work shirt is a classic that is built to last. Made of 100% 5oz solid twill, it is perfect for the spring weather but heavy enough to hold up against everyday wear and tear. We carry it in white, tan, and black – as well as this vivid red dye. Here’s another look, ladies…

Then over that shirt, this Carhartt quilt-lined vest is a perfect spring layering piece that is as tough as the men that wear it.

Those Ariat roper-toe boots are made from premium leather, and have more technology in them than you’d expect from a cowboy boot, to stabilize him and keep his feet cushioned. See these boots online.

Remember to get him a new Wild Rag: a rancher doesn’t want to be caught without one. You can even get a matching silk wild rag for your son wanting to be just like dad: we carry both kids’ and adult sizes, here.
