SEATTLE—With rodeo season in full swing, Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington is your destination for affordable, eco-friendly Western-inspired outfits.
From the Kitsap County Fair & Rodeo (August 21–25) to the Evergreen State Fair (August 31–September 1) and other nearby events, rodeo wear is in high demand. Thanks to stars like Beyoncé and Bella Hadid, Cowboy Chic is a mainstream trend, making thrift stores a treasure trove for secondhand Western finds.
Whether you’re attending a rodeo or embracing the look, Goodwill stores in Kitsap and Snohomish Counties offer a wide range of rodeo-ready attire.
Top Western fashion trends for 2025 include:
- Vintage cowboy boots: Find retro-stitched, classic silhouettes secondhand if you don’t have a family heirloom pair.
- Edgy rodeo style: Pair black skinny jeans or leather leggings with distressed outerwear and retro rodeo-graphic tees for a bold look.
- Denim-on-denim: High-waisted bootcut or flare jeans with structured jackets in any wash are making a strong comeback.
- Animal accents: Cow print or other animal patterns on boots, bags, or tops add a playful rodeo vibe.
- Timeless Western staples: Fringe jackets, embroidered denim, pearl-snap shirts, turquoise jewelry, big belt buckles, and wide-brimmed hats never go out of style.
Thrifting at Evergreen Goodwill not only helps you craft the perfect rodeo outfit but also supports sustainability and funds free job training and education programs for the local community.
