How to Dress Like Yellowstone Characters

Yellowstone is an American TV series about the Dutton family, owners of one of the biggest ranches in the Western United States. The show’s gripping storyline, intense conflicts, and authentic rancher fashion have made it a fan favourite and that ranch-ready wardrobe translates perfectly to Australia, where station-style rugged layers feel right at home.

Apart from the screenplay, Yellowstone’s wardrobe stands out, reflecting the tough, rustic lifestyle of its characters. From John Dutton’s cowboy essentials to Rip Wheeler’s signature black look, each outfit enhances the show’s realism.

Modern Take on Yellowstone Fashion: While the show stays true to traditional rancher attire, a leather bomber jacket is a great choice for those who want a Yellowstone-inspired look with a sleek, modern touch. It offers rugged durability while adding versatility to your wardrobe perfect for pairing with denim, boots, and a cowboy hat, whether you're headed to a country race day or a bonfire out bush.

John Dutton Costume

John Dutton, the leading character of the show and also the head of the Dutton family, wears a white ten-gallon hat, rancher jacket, quilted jacket, and sky-blue jeans. Here is what you need to look like him.

Yellowstone John Dutton Jacket

The jacket is perfectly suited to the challenges of Dutton, who lives on the new frontier. The Dutton jacket is made of tough cotton material and comes with a contrasting orange fabric over the shoulder which gives it a unique cowboy look. It also has two chest pockets and a dusty beige colour for everyday use. You can wear John Dutton sunglasses to complete your look.

Brown Vest

The western cowboy look is incomplete without a cool vest, and Dutton is no exception. He has a classic brown vest featuring a shirt collar and zip closure, seen worn under his signature beige jacket mentioned above. Through an Australian winter, the vest-under-jacket layering isn't just screen-accurate it's practical. Buy here.

Button-up Shirt

If you want to look like a rancher, you need this western classic denim shirt. These shirts come with heavy cotton material and a relaxed fit best suited for a hard-working lifestyle. John Dutton usually wears grey or blue so it’s best if you stick to the same colours and wear it under a John Dutton jacket. Buy here.

Flat Front Khaki Pant

Another western essential is this flat front khaki pant. It’s durable and compatible with a rancher’s everyday lifestyle. It’s best if you wear it along with the dark brown quilted vest. However, if you’re wearing the beige jacket on its own it’s better to switch to light-wash western fit cowboy jeans for contrast. Buy here.

John Dutton Hat

The white cowboy hat will give a finishing touch to your John Dutton costume. The character wears different coloured hats throughout the series; however, you will only need one in an off-white colour and it will go with every outfit. Buy here.

Brown Square Toe Boots

If you want to look like a westerner and don’t have square toe boots, you’re doing it wrong grab a pair asap. Dutton wears full-grain real leather boots with a suede upper and rubber sole. The high-quality construction can take a beating, which is perfect for a hardworking station lifestyle or a muddy paddock. Buy here.

Rip Yellowstone Costume

Rip Wheeler is a true symbol of loyalty, shaped by the Dutton family after being taken in at a very young age and developing a strong father-son bond with John Dutton. As the foreman of the Yellowstone ranch, he plays a powerful role in the story, with an ongoing rivalry with Kayce, John’s youngest son. What makes him even more memorable is his rugged, understated style, which has made the Rip Wheeler Yellowstone outfit instantly recognisable among fans. You can hardly go unnoticed wearing his signature look. Here is what you will need.

Rip Wheeler Jacket

Rip’s style is unique he wears a black cotton jacket with a Yellowstone logo on the left side. This colour makes him look edgy while the cotton material is durable enough for his daily lifestyle. Other details of the Rip Yellowstone jacket include button closure, one left chest pocket, shirt collar, and quilted lining. Find a similar rugged silhouette in our leather trucker jackets.

Black Denim Shirt

As mentioned above, Rip's entire outfit is based on black and blue colours basic yet it stands out from the rest of the characters. You need to wear this black relaxed-fit denim shirt under a black leather jacket for a similar style. It is one of the best Yellowstone looks for men and can even pass as semi-formal attire. Buy here.

Medium Blue Cowboy Jeans

A medium blue pair of jeans is a basic yet important part of Wheeler’s costume. It works well to highlight the all-black top of the character so it looks real and not like a costume. Wearing a black button shirt underneath a brown leather blazer will make the character's look even more prominent. There are multiple types of jeans try one that's not too skinny and not too baggy for more relevancy.

Brown Square Toe Boot

The brown square toe boot again is an important part of a western outfit considering the hardworking lifestyle. Moreover, Rip is the foreman of the ranch so he needs durable footwear that can handle his demanding tasks. It can definitely boost the style and match with the Yellowstone Rip jacket to give a completely similar look. Buy here.

Aviator Glasses

You can look like Rip Wheeler without the glasses, but if you want to bring out the true badass in you then pair them with the Rip Wheeler hat and jacket. Buy here.

Western Belt Buckle

Beth Dutton Leopard Coat

You might have seen loads of different Yellowstone outfits in the show but this one really defines her style. You will need a leopard print faux fur coat for a fierce look like hers and it doubles as a genuinely warm layer for a chilly July evening in Melbourne. You can also look at elegant, trendy trench coats for a different take, or layer a T-shirt underneath the coat to look more relevant to the character. Buy here.

Black Utility Shirt

Beth wears a top that drapes well, so if you’re going to get a similar shirt or top make sure it’s dark in colour. A navy or black would do it should fit loose and drape well. Buy here.
