When it comes to style and your likes, you are either a country or a city girl, right?

Wrong! Although you might expect or have heard that you must fall into either one of these two categories, the truth is far more muddled than that. Plenty of city gals are ready to give their heels a rest for the weekend and head out to the countryside in their wellies for a bit of muddy fun. Equally, country girls enjoy dusting off their dancing shoes for a night out on the town now and then. So figuring out whether you are more townhouse than country barn is not as simple as it appears.

Another challenge you might face if you don’t fit neatly into either category is making your wardrobe work for whichever side of your personality you feel more drawn to that day. As explored in this post here, a healthy mix of city and country is often best. When it comes to clothing, there are certain pieces that transition well from city sidewalk to country road and let you channel whichever part of yourself you are identifying with that day.

 

Hunter Wellington Boots

These boots have been worn by everyone from British soldiers during both world wars to Queen Elizabeth and Kate Moss. This footwear item came from humble beginnings as a functional piece of clothing designed to keep feet dry, but has been catapulted to fashion stardom after being spotted on celebrities like Daisy Lowe, Kate Middleton and Ashley Olsen. Jimmy Choo even designed a snake print version of the boot, sealing its fate as a fashion staple for the country loving fashionista.

Prairie and Check Skirts

The prairie skirt comes in so many shapes, prints and colors there is sure to be one for everybody and it looks great worn running through a corn field or sipping ice tea on a hot sunny day in a city park. It embodies the care free country spirit and combines it with all the bohemian fashion forwardness of Sienna Miller. Similarly, fashion points will be awarded to those sporting a check skirt offered by Peter Hahn, as appropriate clambering over hay bales as in the office. Throw on with a pair of hunters and a comfortable yet elegant sweater and you’ll be channeling your inner Kate Middleton in no time.

Denim Dungarees

Denim dungarees or overalls are one of the most versatile items of clothing you can own. They can be totally comfortable and functional, or devastatingly sexy depending on how they are worn. Wear them over a simple t-shirt and with trainers for a totally casual weekend look, or alternatively with a pair of heels and a crop top for a more daring twist. They come in all washes, shapes and lengths, and are sure to suit everyone. An absolute must-have whether you are city girl, country lass, or something in between.
