Cowboy Kooples

Currently, the brand that is really ticking all my boxes is The Kooples.

They have made an appearance on and off this blog for years but their SS15 collection is absolutely spot on for where I'm at stylistically at the moment. There is nothing in this collection I wouldn't wear. My days of wearing midriff-baring cropped tops may be over, but I'd happily layer these leather ones over a t-shirt.

The label have always had a leaning towards rock 'n' roll styling. Various music related countercultures have clearly been their inspiration, from Teddyboys to Rockabillies, but this season they have added in Western detailing such as conchos, leather neckties, fringing and leather - basically everything I want to be wearing, and have been wearing, albeit less polished than this.

There is a Kooples concession here in Glasgow in Frasers so I need to pop in and see which pieces of this collection they have. I'm particularly excited by the accessories. I'd be all over that hat if I thought for a second it'd fit my tiny head but I know it won't. The ankle boots are also high on my list (as you might have seen from Monday's wishlist post) and their belts are equally beautiful.
