The story about Nocona boots begins with a Miss Enid Justin who had a target to carry on family traditions in 1925. The tradition of making quality Western boots started with her father who has 25 cents in his pocket and some tools to repair boots. He somehow managed and started a repair shop and slowly with the money collected he bought leather, made boots and sold them. Miss Enid helped her father out for 12 years and studied all the trades of making quality boots. Today, Nocona boots are highly reputed for their good ol' western style boots. Nocona boots come in a variety of skins- snake, ostrich, cayman, alligator, kangaroo and of course leather.

With boots on, it is safe to say that usually a cowboy hat accompanies it best.

In order to pick one, make sure you you do not choose a hat with such a contrasting colour compared to your boots. A great tip is to get a hat with is a shade darker or lighter than your boots to sum up the look. If everything is so matched, it will look very costume like. So unless you are attending one, stick to the tips.
If you are thinking what type of clothing will match the boots and cowboy hat, the answer is denim. Denim shorts, skirts, jeans or jackets are all types of clothing that go along. However, if denim is not your type of thing, celebrities such as Kate Bosworth and the Olsen twins have been spotted out with western style boots and just simple summer dresses, preferably in off white or white colours! It will give you a rustic look that is so subtle and stylish! Just don't forget your sunscreen while walking in the sun.
With your denim, its good to pair your boots with blouses that have bell sleeves. Bell sleeves Bell sleeved blouses are a great choice for boots as as they seem to add a rustic or laid back feeling into the whole ensemble. Just remember that bell sleeved blouses go well with pants or jeans that tapers at the bottom such as skinny jeans or is short in length such as a denim miniskirt or shorts. The reason behind this is because the volume in the sleeve area already creates an impact in the whole look in order to balance it out something which is minimal in volume such as the examples mention will make it look very neat and stylish. However, if you were to wear something voluminous with it, say a pair of harem pants or a long peasant skirt, it will look very undone, untidy and unprofessional because there is too much going everywhere.
