The Essentials
Get a pair of bootcut, blue denim jeans. Alternatively, you can wear cutoff denim shorts or a denim skirt.
Wear a button-down shirt. These shirts can either be short-sleeved or long-sleeved. For a more casual look, wear a t-shirt. Roll the sleeves of your button-down at your elbows.
Find a Western-style cowboy hat. These kinds of hats come in black, brown, tan, and white. If you don't want to wear a hat, try a bandana that matches the color of your button-up shirt. Keep the tied part on the side of your head, and tie it like a bow.
Get a pair of cowboy boots. Traditionally, cowboy boots are made of leather, but are also available in faux-leather and exotic skins like alligator, snake, and buffalo. These boots also come in a variety of toe styles: round toe, square toe, or pointed toe. If you plan on wearing your boots in muddy or wet conditions, consider getting a pair with rubber soles.
Wear your hair down in braids or a low ponytail.
Accessories (Optional)
Tie a bandana around your neck. Traditional cowboys and cowgirls alike used bandanas to absorb their sweat while working on the ranch. Nowadays, bandanas are mostly worn as a fashion statement. Tie the bandana behind your neck so that the triangle part is facing your front. (Only if you wore the cowgirl hat instead of the bandana)
Wear a Western-style belt. Cowgirl belts are usually made of brown leather, and have large silver, gold, or turquoise buckles. For extra flare, find one with braided or medallion embellishments.
