The cowboy style has been a part of our popular culture for over a century.The original cowboys of the past were influenced by the Mexican and Spanish vaquero term, which means function and comfort.There are a lot of things you can do to be your own cowboy.Everyone can find something they like about being a cowboy, it's up to you.
Step 1: Get a pair of boots.
The cowboy style has one of the most identifiable elements of it being a good leather boot with a hard wooden heel.The heels and sharp toes are designed for fitting a stirrup on horseback, so they can take some getting used to.If you are the kind of cowboy who doesn't use his boots for much more than walking down the street, there are plenty of comfortable and intricate designs available.
Step 2: Put on a pair of jeans.
A cowboy needs pants that are durable and comfortable.Cowboy prefer simple jeans with straight legs or boot cuts.
Step 3: Don't wear a hat.
A hat is more than an accessory for a cowboy.A cowboy hat is worn to keep his head cool, keep the sun off his face, and keep dirt out of his eyes.Fancy designer hats are readily available, but a real cowboy prefers an old, worn in hat, whose shape has been formed only over years of hard and constant use.If you want a true cowboy hat, look for the brands.If you want a hat for cold weather, choose a felt hat or straw hat.
Step 4: The shirt is a Western style.
You should find a long-sleeved, button-down shirt with a plaid pattern.Thicker shirts can be worn in winter and thinner shirts in warm weather.While working in the sun, some cowboys only wear simple T-shirts.The look should be rugged.A chest flap that snaps closed on one side might be included in a designer cowboy shirt.
Step 5: A good belt and a good buckle is what you should get.
Many cowboys prefer wide leather belts with large metal buckles.They may advertise for a favorite tobacco or beer company, or they may have a "western" theme.
Step 6: A mustache or beard is a good way to grow one.
Cowboys are like any other group of people, some have facial hair and some don't.Working cowboys don't have a lot of time for shaving.
Step 7: You should go outside.
Cowboy's skin is tan, leathery, and coarse from the wind and sun, which they see twelve hours a day, six or even seven days a week.
Step 8: The manicure is not a good idea.
Cowboys don't tend to work on their fingernails or keep their hands soft.Cowboy work can cause callouses and dirty nails.There are cuts, scars, and other injuries on the hands that work with rough materials.
Step 9: You should get a duster.
A duster is a long leather jacket, usually with large buttons, and sometimes with fringe.During cold weather, the duster is appropriate.The larger buttons are easier to use with gloves on, like most things cowboy.When the weather is warm, a leather vest is a good substitute.
Step 10: Don't let the chaps get in the way.
The most extreme cowboy wear is chaps.Extra protection is provided by chaps while working on horseback and at the rodeo.It is not advisable to wear chaps in many other settings.It is likely that the same goes for spurs.
