TikTok star Alix Earle and friends were all seen in cowboy boots this weekend at Coachella

As Coachella kicked off this weekend, it’s not long until we’re reunited with day drinking, live music and bad toilets here in the UK!

Yes festival season is the one we look forward to all year round, as it comes as no surprise that the cowboy boot was the shoe of the season - not to mention the year!

Everyone was seen wearing them at the festival in Palm Springs this weekend - from TikTok IT girls like Alix Earle and Xandra Pohl, to our very own British babe Tasha Ghouri.

It seems like we’ve kissed goodbye to our faithful Hunter Wellies and said hello to a plethora of Western boots to see us through dancing until dawn - not to mention desk to date night too.

And best of all? They come in a variety of colours and textures too - so one for every outfit you plan on wearing, whether it’s to the hottest festival, day in the office or out with friends on the weekend.

We’ve searched the high street high and low to find the best pairs that will (hopefully) last all year long on the high street… So what are you waiting for?

Woah! How gorgeous does Tasha Ghouri look at Coachella this weekend?
