While Y2K is the current trend, it’s not surprising that cowboy-core is another style that has been under the radar. Western-inspired clothing used to be reserved for Halloween costumes or Kacey Musgraves concert appearances, but it is now incorporated into everyday wear. With the popularity of the cowboy boot, we started to see the trend take shape. Now, cowboy hats are making their way onto the fashion scene. The accessory has been worn by celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner.
How can you look like you’re trying to audition for a role in Oklahoma wearing a cowboy cap? Here are some ideas. We have looks to suit every occasion and style, whether you need a sun hat or accessory for your festival outfit.
Beaded and beachy
Because they can be used as both an accessory and a beach hat, cowboy hats are great for summer adventure. This straw cowboy hat features beaded embellishments that are inspired by the desert.
Blue Jean Baby
Britney Spears’ double denim moment with Justin Timberlake at the 2001 AMAs is memorable. We are recreating this iconic look with a woven cowboy cap paired with a patchwork denim dress and retro-heeled cowboy booties.
Edgy leather
News flash: Country style can also have a grunge side. The black cowboy hat and leather vest make for an ultra-cool, wearable ensemble. Add fringe boots, denim cutoffs, and a white shirt for a summer-ready outfit.
Western Chic
The cowboy hat can be worn with any basic you already own. You can also pair this hat with a Reformation blouse in a country-inspired style.
Southern Boho
Pair your cowboy hat and prairie dress with cowboy boots. Taylor Swift, 2008 would approve.
Festival-Ready
We learned one thing from 2022 Coachella: Cowboy hats have become the new flower crowns. We aren’t mad that crystal fringe cowboy hats have become a festival standard. This look can quickly become costumey, so style it with more subtle pieces such as a crochet gown and boots.
Luxe Getaway
Designers of high-end status are also jumping on the cowboy cap wave. This striking piece is part of the Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza collaboration and should be on your vacation packing list. Wear it with brightly colored sandals and a sundress.
Cow Print
Cow print is a very popular pattern right now. It also fits right into the western aesthetic. This monochromatic chocolate brown cowboy cap can be paired with a top made of cow print and low-rise jeans.
