I recently bought a pair of cowboy boots and have worn them several times with my suits.

Of course it helps that I live in Southern Alberta. Very common around here. People wear them with everything from jeans to suits.

Post a picture of what you are proposing. What's the occasion you are planning on wearing this outfit?
Typically I would say no to Cowboy boots and suit. Jeans, boots, and sports coat is a different story.

Sometimes it's just gotta be done.

It's a pre-49 union label that was modified to be a western suit (obvious cutdown lapels, omitting of trouser cuffs, and addition of back yoke), I'd say sometime in the 50s or early 60s. I got it on eBay for a steal and wore it accordingly with boots, hat, western shirt, ranger belt, and neckerchief when I played with the Western Swing band I was in. It reminded me of Hank Williams.

Cowboy boots with a suit is correct business attire in Texas and the Southwest generally. Add a bolo tie and Stetson hat if you wish. You would raise no eyebrows between the Louisiana border and the Pacific coast...

Cowboy boots, bolo tie and a Stetson in the financial districts of LA or SF? No way... ;)

Cowboy Boots with a business suit is always acceptable in Denver and everywhere in the Rocky Mountain West. Shucks! After all, Denver is still known as a Cow Town!:D:cool:
