What to Wear

Dress for success at FWSSR 2026

The Short Answer

Comfortable, casual western wear. Think jeans, boots, and layers.
You'll be walking a lot and possibly sitting on bleachers!

Do Wear

  • Comfortable boots or closed-toe shoes
  • Jeans or casual pants
  • Western shirts or casual tops
  • Cowboy hat (optional but fun!)
  • Layers - it can be chilly in the evenings
  • Comfortable socks for all that walking

Skip These

  • High heels or dress shoes
  • Open-toed sandals (dusty and crowded)
  • Expensive clothes you care about
  • Heavy jewelry that could get lost

Weather Considerations

Cold Days (Below 50°F)

Layer up! Jacket over flannel, and don't forget gloves

Mild Days (50-70°F)

Perfect rodeo weather - light jacket for evening

Warm Days (Above 70°F)

Sunscreen, hat, and stay hydrated

Pro Tip

Check the weather forecast before you go! January/February in Fort Worth can range from 30°F to 70°F. The rodeo events are mostly indoors at Dickies Arena, but you'll be walking outside between venues.
