Cowboy Hats and More

Something strange happened to me the other day. My coworker, who is usually painfully shy and bashful around the women in the office, came to work with an unfamiliar demeanor. Not only was he swaggering when he walked in the door, but he also went out of his was to tip his cowboy hat to each lady he passed on the way to his desk. What’s more, he was even wearing a chunky silver belt buckle, engraved with the words “Cowboy Cool.” When he sat down at his desk next to mine, I noticed he had a rosy glow about his cheeks and a playful winking about his eyes. In fact, half the ladies in the office couldn’t help but stare in awe at his new-found cowboy grace.

At first, I was a little shy to ask him how this transformation had taken place. When I finally got up the courage he told me it was all thanks to his Old West hat.  I should’ve known. Now all the women keep talking about whether it’s true, what they say about a big hat.

Whether for Halloween, a costume party, or just a change of apparel, cowboy clothing is a fun way to show your enthusiasm for Old West values.  However, you don’t want to look like just your standard run of the mill person in a cowboy outfit, you want to strive for authenticity!  First of all, no self respecting cowboy would be seen without his trusty cowboy hat.  Now contrary to popular belief, most cowboy hats don’t have shiny jewels or feathers on them, it’s just a simple fedora.  To be authentic, you’ll want to select a hat band that matches your style.  Hat bands are the only true diversity when it comes to cowboy hats, so make sure it accentuates your style.  The cowboy hat is all important to create a cowboy look, but you will also want a simple button up shirt, chaps, and cowboy boots.

Once you have all of the above, you’re sure to make a lasting impression on all the people you encounter!
