What to Wear When
First, READ THE RULE BOOK. Most pageants will have specific guidelines for what you are to wear for each pageant event. If the rule book does not designate a specific brand of jeans, it is best to go with a Wrangler product. Other Western jean brands are also acceptable but Wrangler is the preferred brand. If you have questions about what the rule book says, or doesn't say, about clothing requirements always go straight to the coordinator. They are the best resource for a definitive answer.
Horsemanship & Rodeo
Bright colors are your best choice for these two events. A monochromatic scheme for blouse, jeans, belt and boots will lengthen your overall look and will not draw attention to poor leg position. If you opt to wear black for horsemanship seek out a blouse design that has a lighter color for the yokes.

Personal Interview
When selecting an outfit for your personal interview think of how a professional would interview for a professional position in an office. Interview outfits are toned down when it comes to fringe and rhinestones. When possible opt for a jacket with either jeans or a skirt (or one-piece tank dress).

Fashion Show
Elegance is key here. While you want to show your personal style stay away from being too over the top with your choice. Again, monochromatic dresses generally work best.

Speech
Elegance is also important in your choice of speech outfits. Avoid fringe as it will add to nervous movement and if it is near your hands you may unintentionally play with the fringe. Theme outfits are appropriate but again, stay away from being too over the top.
