What to Wear: CattleCon19 Style

No matter who you are, your style says something about you even before you speak. Millennials might opt for a power suit to indicate they are serious about moving up in their company or industry. A boomer with jeans and a blazer might indicate someone who is leading an organization but remains approachable. Personal style is one of many ways in which we express ourselves. CattleCon19 fashion was no different and yet totally different.

Cattle producers don’t tend to care about brands like Louboutin & Prada, but you will see scores of people in Stetson or Roper. Most ranchers stick to pieces they love and boots are typically a must.

Some attendees' style choices really stood out at this year’s beef conference. From Nephi Harvey’s John Wayne replica hat to Chris Bird’s totally cool and laid back western styling, there were many interesting looks, hats, boots,etc.

Traditionally, women have more choices regarding fashion at conferences and in the office. The freedom to express oneself through styling can be both fun and overwhelming. Here are some top styles from CattleCon19 to scroll through:

There is much debate about cowboy boots for men. According to bestlifeonline, the rule is that cowboy boots should never be worn at the office. But rules don't always apply to cattlemen. Considering how few style choices men have, boots should be considered acceptable for the office or any business event. There were some fantastic boots worn at CattleCon19 with plenty of office ready looks. The apparel shops at this year's beef conference were Legacy92, Alablanca Jewelry, Shortys Hattery, Stone Feather Road, Greeley Hat Works, JJ Designs, High Quality Saddles and Karman Inc.
