Cowboy boots comeback?

Cowboy boots comeback??

Being a fan of country music, I can't forget that legendary country lynard skynard "sweet home alabama" song, or Glen Campbell "southern nights"? or even actual Tim McGraw, Leanne Rhymes, Faith Hill, and why not? Taylor Swift (even though every one knows that she doesn't really do country, but she tries to do the style). If you're a fan of rock & roll music you probably have noticed before that country music has influenced classic rock in the american history a lot, and the link between these two is definitely southern country/rock music, the one elvis used to play, transforming from time to time to Nirvana. Rock & roll has been a huge influence in the industry, inspiring amazing great designers to develop signature edgy items like the leather jacket or even classic jeans. So if rock has given us so much , and considering that the cowboy style has so much of a different, simple, all american angle to offer, it's no rare thing to see from time to time fashion daring to turn the down non-glamourous side of style and turning it upside down bringing it to the urban streets of new york, paris and london.

I was at the mall the other day and saw a bunch of cowboy boots in different modalities, from high up to the knee to really just like brown flats with the cowboy tip. I remember seeing the spring 2010 fashion shows back in September fashion week, and D&G was one of the brands that based almost its entire collection in a "southern edge", that's when I realized that the boots were on again, but didn't really know how long it would take for the news to settle. While looking at some of those pairs I remembered my own pair of boots that I got back in 2005, when I was on winter vacation in Italy. From that time I decided to wear them every now and then, but it wasn't until now that I see someone within one kilometer of radius wearing another pair of cowboy boots. Anyways, it is true that it was through the industry that I realized how cool and edgy cowboy boots were back when I was 15 in the first place, but I got kinda sad knowing that after four years of feeling so edgy while wearing them everyone will be wearing them now...
