While most who think of rodeo naturally default to the various riders and competitors who take part in specific events, but these are far from the only individuals who make the rodeo scene what it is. There are several other major parties that play a key role here, and rodeo queens are a great example.
At A Cut Above Buckles, we're here to offer a huge range of custom belt buckles and other rodeo and western-themed accessories to clients around Utah and Texas, including Western jewelry and much more. In this two-part blog series, we'll look at some general tips for rodeo queens as they look to style and accessorize ideally for their next event.
For those new to the rodeo scene, it's important to understand just what rodeo queens are and why they're so integral in events. Rodeo queens are individuals, usually female, who serve as ambassadors for the sport of rodeo itself – think of them much like a beauty pageant queen for the activity.
They'll take part in promotional activities like parades and public appearances, all while advertising their chosen event. In many cases, they'll even compete with other rodeo queens in pageants at various events around the country.
Rodeo queens have long been part of the true heart of the activity, and their level of style is often one of the key components. Our next few sections, and on into part two of our series, will go over some simple tips on how to style as a rodeo queen.
Rodeo is all about going big, but that doesn't mean you have to go overboard when it comes to styling. The key is finding the right balance between bold statement pieces – think large, bright jewelry or even custom belt buckles – and keeping things tasteful so that you don't look like you're trying too hard.
Ideally, rodeo queens will plan out their entire look ahead of time, so that they can make sure the pieces all work together. We suggest selecting one statement piece – like a belt buckle or custom jewelry piece – and then focus on accessorizing around it with smaller pieces to help bring the look together.
This may sound obvious, but being a rodeo queen is a great opportunity to stand out and really put your own unique stamp on the activity. There are plenty of ways to do this, from wearing custom-made accessories like belt buckles or even just incorporating your own personal style into your look.
Whatever you decide to go with, make sure it still speaks to what rodeo is all about: good times, friendly people and a whole lot of fun. Show off your personality, and make sure you feel comfortable in whatever outfit you choose before you hit the event – that's the best way to ensure a great time.
