Western Style That Fits Your Life

Hard-to-find sizes, trusted western brands, and modern style in downtown Shelby, NC.

About Us

A playful storefront featuring a skeleton and various accessories.

Yippee Ki Yay on South Lafayette Street is where Shelby goes for western wear that actually fits. This boutique carries an honest range of sizes, including the hard-to-find cuts that most stores simply skip, so whether you're built like a ranch hand or a runway model, you won't leave empty-handed.

The shop stocks apparel and accessories from brands that western wear devotees actually ask for by name: Ariat, Wrangler, and Kimes Ranch. These aren't impulse-buy labels you stumble across at a big-box store. They're workhorses of the western wardrobe, and finding them together under one roof in downtown Shelby is the whole point.

The look here blends classic western tradition with a contemporary eye, so you can walk out in something that works at a rodeo, a country concert, or a Friday night out. Shop in-store on South Lafayette or browse the full collection online at your own pace.

What We Offer

Yippee Ki Yay keeps it straightforward: shop the way that works for you. Come in during store hours and browse the full floor of western apparel and accessories, get a feel for the fit, and walk out ready to wear it. The staff can help you navigate sizing, especially in those harder-to-find cuts that bring a lot of customers through the door.

Prefer to shop from the couch? The online store carries the collection too, so you can explore Ariat, Wrangler, and Kimes Ranch offerings from anywhere and have your order ready when you need it. Whether you're restocking a wardrobe staple or hunting down a specific size you've never been able to find locally, both shopping options are open and available.

"They have some nice merchandise and pricing is similar to other western wear stores. However, if you have expectations of Southern Charm from the staff, you've came to the wrong place! The other 1 star reviews are extremely accurate."

"I went in the yippie ki yay today to exchange a pair of pants that I had bought the day prior. The pair of pants that I bought were slim straight so they were not fitting as I would like. While I was in the store, I tried a new pair of pants on to exchange the other ones. The owner kc then knocked on the changing room door to ask if everything fit, how I liked. I replied, yes, that should have been the end of the conversation. It sadly, was not. She proceeded to ask if I would step out and show her that everything fit properly. I didn't think much of it at the time. As I stepped out, she proceeded to tell me that I should lose my belly and lose a little weight because at my weight as a man, no woman will be attracted to me. She then had the audacity to show me an "exercise" to help me lose my belly fat, and that manners would not be enough to charm a lady, keep in mind, I was in the store the previous day with my girlfriend. To say the least, I will not be going back to a store that i've been going to for months, because the owner was blatantly rude and disrespectful to somebody that was spending their money in her store."

"Completely unacceptable experience. The owner was extremely rude and dismissive, and instead of helping, she decided to lecture me about how we “do not care.” That alone says everything you need to know. There was zero professionalism, zero accountability, and absolutely no customer service skills on display. If you don’t value customers or basic respect, you probably shouldn’t be running a business. I won’t be back, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone expecting courtesy or common decency."
