Split Personality

2021 NFR TRENDS

By Kim Kammenzind

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Viva Las NFR and the ten greatest days of rodeo and western fashion that we all look forward to annually. The planning and outfit preparation has been in the works for months for many of us, and the anticipation of finally getting to pack bags is so real. As our society has pivoted the past two years during the pandemic, so has fashion. I think now more than ever we gals love playing “dress up” and showing off our individual style, personality and moods which may change by the moment and definitely over the course of ten rounds. Personally, after missing last year’s event I want to wear everything in my closet ranging from stilettos to fringe. I am predicting at the 2021 finals we will see a mix of sleek, contemporary high fashion styles and traditional all out retro and western wear glam. Indeed, many fashionistas will showcase both trends in one outfit, after all why not have the best of both worlds? With so much to see and do over the course of a week plus, there will many wardrobe changes to say the least. Here is a little style inspo for all things NFR:

1. Bleacher Babe at World Series of Team Roping at

Southpoint: A custom tooled leather jacket is perfect for watching your favorite roper come back high call. Comfortable enough to be worn all day and a great piece to dress up or down. Visit therodeorose.com for available styles.

2. Trade Show Shopper Extraordinaire: Western casual at its finest. Clay paired our Sundown Striped Flares with her own graphic tee, blazer, squash blossom and cowboy hat for a recent on camera appearance. With Chucks for footwear, we think this is the perfect outfit for long days on your feet with a cold drink in hand crusin’ the thousands of amazing booths the NFR experience has to offer.

3. Dinner and Show: The Tough Enough bodysuit is sassy and oh so perfect for a night of fun having on the strip. Paired with a great pair of crisp black jeans and your favorite jewels and you are ready for the hottest restaurants and reviews in town!

5. After Hours Cowgirl: The post rodeo options are literally endless. Some of my favorites include the buckle ceremony at Southpoint, Rodeo Vegas at The Mirage, The Gold Buckle Zone at the MGM and the amazing concerts Hooey hosts. Wherever the night may lead you, there will for sure be a band. Nothing pairs better with live music than some fringe for shakin’ and spinnin’. Kelli is shown wearing our Last Call Bodysuit which seems so fitting for after-hours fun.

6. Opening Round Attire: If Cruella was a cowgirl, she would wear this to round one. The Beaumont Blazer is chic and oh so classy. Westernize this look with some classic Navajo pearls or a squash blossom.

7. The Finale Fashions: In Rounds 6-10 we see our western style icons truly begin bringing their “A” game and perf fashion transforms to a rodeo red carpet. The Joplin Jumpsuit is an outfit in itself, accessorized with a little white buffalo to add some cowgirl flair. An outfit like this will help you finish your week strong and confident like a modern-day Charlie’s Angel.
