From the hard work on the farm to the hectic days in the urban jungle; small town country fashion has made its way into the big city. Not just for feeding the cattle, these styles have all the country flair, minus the haystacks and cowboy hats.

We used to think of a farmer’s daughter as no more than Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. That sweet little girl from rural Kansas with her vintage gingham dress and pigtails, so unaware of what the big Emerald City had to offer. Today, the farmer’s daughter style does not stop there, but now includes a whole array of fashionable pieces for all types of girls. City slickers especially have taken to this trend.

And we can’t forget the classic overall. We used to see overalls on the farm and now they are walking on the runway. Brands like Calvin Klein and Vetement had models in patch-work denim and nostalgic cuts this year in various fashion shows. Overalls have reached a height we never thought possible for what used to be a wardrobe faux pas. Next up, flannels, which are comfortable and have colors ranging from warm neutral tones to more neon hues. Especially since fall is here, layers are back, and flannels are perfect for adding an extra layer without any of the additional bulk. They work for a casual daytime outfit, but can also be dressed up with a flowy skirt or pair of fitted pants and block heels for the perfect outfit to wear out on the town.

First off, denim. Denim is a gem that looks good on anyone and with everything. Different brands, such as Levi’s and Lucky Brand have showcased new denim styles that sport sewn floral patterns and a variety of colors that give old looks a new update. Even Disney launched a vintage denim collection this September with different prints and a light-washed style.

Two other big-ticket items are riding boots and neutral toned ankle booties that provide the same level of comfort and style. Riding boots are not just for riding horses anymore. They can pair great with skinny jeans or even a T-shirt dress and stockings, and be worn to class or on a date. They accentuate the legs and are a just beautiful fall fashion piece. Ankle booties come in a variety of styles
