I bought my first cowboy hat for $180 and nearly had a heart attack at checkout. Seemed insane for something I wasn’t even sure I’d wear regularly. Three years later I own four hats ranging from $60 to $250, and I finally understand where you can save money and where you shouldn’t. Quality cowboy hats […]

I’ve been watching cowboy hat trends evolve for three years now, and what started as country music festival fashion has become legitimate everyday style. What we’re seeing now goes way beyond the basic western aesthetic. Fashion moves in cycles, and we’re in a moment where western influences have moved from niche to mainstream. Not the […]

I live in Brooklyn. Not exactly cowboy country. But I’ve been wearing cowboy hats regularly for two years now, and the looks I get range from curious to complimentary, never mocking.

I never thought I’d be the person wearing cowboy hats. Grew up on the East Coast, lived in cities my whole life, wouldn’t know a ranch from a petting zoo. Then I visited Nashville three years ago, bought a hat on a whim, and suddenly I’m that girl who wears cowboy hats to brunch. The […]

I never thought cowboy hats belonged in urban streetwear until I saw someone in Brooklyn wearing one with an oversized blazer and sneakers. It completely changed how I viewed Western accessories in city fashion. The Western streetwear fusion has been building for a few years now, blending rugged Americana elements with modern urban style. It’s […]

Last year I showed up to a three-day music festival with carefully planned outfits and a brand-new cowboy hat. By day two, I’d abandoned most of my original plans because nothing worked the way I thought it would in real festival conditions. Festivals are brutal on both your body and your wardrobe. It’s hot, dusty, […]

I bought my first cowboy hat three years ago for a music festival and felt completely ridiculous wearing it. The thing sat in my closet for months because I couldn’t figure out how to style it without looking like I was in costume. Then I saw someone at a coffee shop wearing one with jeans […]
