April finally has something to say, and my cart has been listening. This month it’s all warm sunset tones, touchable textures, and fringed prints that are almost too sweet to handle.

For the girls, breezy cotton dresses, cozy cover-ups for beach days, and a little pale pink jacket that goes with absolutely everything.

For the home, hand blown glassware that catches the light just right, color block linens that feel fresh without being loud, and jute doormats that bring that grounded, earthy quality to every entryway.

I adore this knit jacket from Veronica Beard — and it’s on sale.

I’ll admit there’s a lot of things I normally don’t like going on here — brown! the patch pockets high on the chest! the fact that if you wear it with denim it might look like a Canadian tuxedo/double denim look!

All that said — I really adore this sweater jacket. The blue and brown threads look almost ombré, and I could see the sweater shifting with the light — in some parts it almost looks silver. I think this would be very crisp with white denim, polished with navy, black, gray or brown trousers, and honestly, I kind of even like it with the pale denim as styled here. (The double denim look seems to be trending right now, for better or worse!)

The price isn’t even too bad, despite the fact that it’s Veronica Beard — the sweater was $599, but is now marked to $299 (final sale, alas). Nordstrom has a version in beige and red on sale for $338, and Bloomingdale’s has a version in beige for $418. (It’s also available at Rent the Runway, mysteriously still full price.

Looking for something similar? Check out these options from J.Crew and Boden (both on sale). Not terribly similar, but this Lands’ End sweater is on a great sale (some colors $35) and available in petite, plus, and regular sizes.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 15 reunion brought high-impact glamour, with the cast delivering a mix of sleek silhouettes, embellished gowns, and soft neutrals for the highly anticipated taping. From shimmering metallics to intricate lace and structured tailoring, each look reflected a distinct take on reunion style.

Dorit Kemsley opted for a gold Roberto Cavalli gown featuring a fitted silhouette and subtle printed detailing, finished with a dramatic train. The liquid-like fabric added movement while maintaining a streamlined shape, paired with Aquazzura heels.

Erika Jayne wore a black lace gown by Jagne, defined by sheer paneling and a corseted bodice. The long-sleeve design balanced structure and transparency, offering a fitted look with a floor-length finish.

Bozoma Saint John chose a richly textured brown beaded gown by Mimmy Yeboah, complete with voluminous off-the-shoulder sleeves and a trailing hem. The intricate embellishment created dimension across the entire silhouette.

Rachel Zoe wore an archival J. Mendel gown with a gradient beaded effect, transitioning from darker tones to lighter shimmer. She styled the look with vintage Dior earrings and statement rings, keeping the focus on the gown’s detailing.

Sutton Stracke stepped out in a peach silk gown by Pol’ Atteu, featuring a soft draped bodice and a thigh-high slit. She accessorized with a statement necklace and coordinating jewelry for a cohesive finish.

Amanda Frances wore a structured Maticevski gown with sculptural draping and layered tulle accents. The clean base contrasted with the asymmetrical detailing, paired with Manolo Blahnik heels and Cartier jewelry.

Kathy Hilton chose a silver ruffled gown by The Vampire’s Wife, designed with tiered detailing and a relaxed silhouette. She completed the look with Gianvito Rossi heels and jewelry from her collaboration with Anna Zuckerman.

Kyle Richards opted for a minimal black-and-white gown by L’Agence, featuring a sleeveless cut and sharp contrasting collar. The streamlined design emphasized clean lines, paired with Saint Laurent heels.

And the stand out look of the night was undoubtedly Jennifer Tilly, who wore a custom Balmain Spring 2025 dress, which boasted her face. Iconic! They make it when you have the coin, ok?

The Season 15 reunion showcased a range of approaches to eveningwear, from classic silhouettes to more dramatic, embellished statements. With each cast member bringing their own perspective to reunion dressing, the looks offered a full spectrum of Beverly Hills style.

If the little black dress has its place, this is the season for the white one. Crisp cotton minis, easy midis, longer column shapes, and softer full-skirted styles all feel right this time of year. The appeal is in how versatile they are. Some feel clean and minimal, others a little more romantic, and some have just enough volume or detail to make them stand on their own.

What makes them especially good now is the styling. A touch of red gives the white dress a sharper finish. It adds contrast and a strong sense of color that makes the whole look feel more considered.

The red accessories can go in a few directions. Strappy sandals or a simple heel make the look feel polished immediately. A flat sandal or jelly flat gives it something fresher and more relaxed. A red bag, especially in a woven texture, sculptural shape, or saturated pop tone, becomes the focal point. Jewelry takes it one step further — a unique cuff, drop earring, brooch, or bead necklace adds color in a way that feels styled and editorial.

That is really the balance I like here: white dresses that feel classic, finished with red accessories that bring in color, polish, and a clearer point of view. It is one of the best combinations for spring.

Two men. One ranch. Same Montana sky. But these two different characters Rip Wheeler and John Dutton show us the different side of the men’s fashion in western culture.  This goes beyond TV fashion. Yellowstone brought real attention back to western clothing and a big part of that comes down to how carefully these two characters are styled. So the question is between the man who owns the land and the man who works on it every day, who has a more authentic Western style. 

Two Men, Two Different Relationships With the Land

Before getting into jackets and boots, let’s discuss the man wearing them.

Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser, didn’t choose ranch life; it was handed to him. After a family tragedy, John Dutton look him and from that point on Rip earned his place through loyalty and hard work. As the ranch foreman, he does it all hauling, riding, dealing with trouble and handling whatever the land throws at him. His clothes were never chosen for how they look. They were chosen for what they can handle.

John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner, is the patriarch of a multi-generational ranching family, a livestock commissioner turned governor. He handles the ranch but he also walks into boardrooms and political offices. His clothes carry both the dirt of the land and the authority of ownership.

So, we can say that one dresses to work and the other dresses to command. That difference is the whole story.

What Rip Wheeler Actually Wears

Rip’s wardrobe is one of the most consistent on the show and that consistency reflects how real ranch hands tend to dress.

His signature piece is a black cotton work jacket with the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch logo on the left chest. It’s breathable and practical for long days on the ranch. Underneath, he sticks to plain dark button-down shirts and that was sometimes flannel, sometimes denim. No patterns, no fancy buttons, nothing flashy. His jeans are straight-cut, dark denim, stacked over his boots the way a working cowboy’s should.

His boots are brown leather, square-toed and very simple. That wider toe gives a more stable base on uneven ground and trust me it matters when you’re on your feet all day. 

The belt is just a leather strap with a silver western buckle and he often wears his aviator sunglasses. That’s really it. No conchos, no rhinestones, nothing that doesn’t serve a purpose.

What John Dutton Actually Wears

John Dutton’s wardrobe is where things get interesting because it is very uniquel. His most iconic piece is the Quilted Jacket. It has viscose lining, turn down collar, snap button closure and four pockets. That is serious practical storage for a man who is always managing something. The fabric protects against wind and Montana cold. 

He also wears canvas ranch jackets, heavy wool coats, vests and that instantly recognizable orange and tan down jacket. It is unusual, which is exactly the point. A man who knows who he is doesn’t need his clothes to chase trends.

Built on Real Western Tradition, Not Costume

Kevin Costner reportedly wore the Double RL jeans for fifteen years before the show even started and that worn-in quality was replicated for the character. RRL is Ralph Lauren’s vintage-inspired line built on authentic western workwear. His hat is a buckskin fur felt from Greeley Hat Works shaped with a Reiner crease and finished with a braided hatband.

Costume designer Johnetta Boone, who worked on the show from season two through its finale, collaborated with local Montana artisans and real ranch hands to make sure everything felt earned, not bought. She also worked closely with Kevin Costner himself who had strong opinions about what his character would actually wear.

What Real Western Dress Actually Looked Like

Before picking a winner, it is worth being honest about what western authenticity actually means because the term gets used loosely.

Real cowboys wore what they could afford and what worked. Before Levi’s arrived in the 1870s, they wore wool trousers and military surplus. Their shirts were simple cotton or wool, loose and built for function. The fringed jackets, embroidered shirts, rhinestone buckles and oversized white hats came later, shaped by Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s. Those were stage costumes, designed to stand out from a distance not to hold up on a working ranch.

In reality, cowboy clothing followed a clear pattern: natural materials like wool, cotton, canvas and leather; earth tones and dark colors that didn’t show dirt easily; practical construction with nothing getting in the way of work.

Both Rip and John’s wardrobes honour those markers that are rarer for television than most people realise. 

So Which One Wins?

Rip Wheeler’s wardrobe is much closer to what a real ranch hand wears day to day: dark denim, plain shirts, practical boots and a simple jacket with no unnecessary detail. He mostly wears all black which looks a bit stronger on TV but his style comes from real Western work clothes. He doesn’t wear anything to impress people.

John Dutton, however, wins on sourcing and heritage. His clothes are more refined than a regular ranch worker’s because he is not just a regular ranch worker. He is a ranch owner carrying four generations of legacy and wealthy ranchers have historically dressed slightly above the labour. That is accurate too.

The real difference is simple: Rip dresses as someone who is in the West. John dresses as someone who owns it. Both are authentic expressions of western life. They just represent different positions in it.

Conclusion

To get Rip Wheeler’s look, keep it dark, simple and functional. Go for a black or dark navy cotton jacket, straight cut dark denim, worn in leather cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and a plain leather belt. Nothing decorative.

If you want John’s look, reach for earth tones and quality fabrics. A waxed canvas or quilted ranch jacket in brown or tan and boots that look luxurious.

What both men agree on is the most important thing: quality over flash. Real western wear was never about looking good for a camera. It was about lasting through years of hard use while still carrying some sense of who you are. At The Western Outfitters, that is exactly the kind of clothing we carry. Whether you are drawn to Rip’s working-man simplicity or John’s heritage polish, shop the collection and find where your western story starts.

FAQs

What jacket does John Dutton wear?

His most iconic piece is the Leather and Quilted Jackets. He also wears waxed canvas ranch jackets, heavy wool coats and vests.

Is the western fashion in Yellowstone actually authentic?

More than most TV westerns, yes. Costume designer Johnetta Boone sourced pieces from real western heritage brands and collaborated with Montana ranch hands to ensure the wardrobe felt authentic, not like a costume.

What is the real difference between Rip and John’s style?

Rip dresses for work, John dresses for legacy. One is the West as labour, the other is the West as inheritance. Both are authentic. They just represent different parts of the same culture.

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

Every summer, I end up buying one dress at Old Navy that gets worn into the ground. I think we might have an early start on this year’s contender. This pintuck-waist dress is a perfect summer Friday look. The smocked waist gives it a great shape, and the cotton twill fabric is substantial enough for the office but won’t leave you sweating in the heat.

I wore this recently with a sweater tied around my shoulders and a pair of fun flats. 

The dress is on sale for $34.99 (marked down from $49.99) at Old Navy and comes in sizes XS-4X, XST-XXLT, and XSP-XXLP. It also comes in a blue stripe that looks a bit sheer to me, so I would recommend checking it out in person!
