Everyone wants to be a cowboy deep down inside. There's just something about that cool, calm charm that a cowboy emits that is utterly attractive to young and old alike. If you want to try out a new you for the New Year or just for a night on the town, the process is easy.

So you want to look like a cowboy? Well don't go reaching for the chaps, boots and spurts just yet. Start from the inside out and slow it down a bit. Being a cowboy is all about comfortable style that isn't forced. It's a fashion statement that says "to heck with fashion statements". Sit back and think of the most iconic cowboy you can; maybe the Marlboro man, or maybe Kenny Chesney. It doesn't really matter just who you look at; if you're thinking fairly recent, you'll come up with that easy cowboy style in your minds eye.

The first thing any cowboy needs is a good hat. The Tim McGraw hat is a fan favorite thanks to the perfect curves and the black straw that stands out in a crowd. Pairing this type of hat with a nice-fitting pair of jeans will get you noticed, for sure. The Tim McGraw hat, just like the one Tim McGraw wears, is masculine without being showy. This type of a hat calls attention to you without screaming that you're trying too hard.

Obviously, for your Tim McGraw hat to look good, it needs to fit properly. To make sure you pick the right size hat for your head, you first measure your head with a flexible measuring tape, like the kind used in sewing. Place the measuring tape around the crown of your head, where the hat would fall, and then record the inches around your head. This will determine the size of hat you would purchase. For instance, if your head measures 23 inches around, then you would get a Tim McGraw hat sized 7 3/8, or large.

Tim McGraw Hat

The Dress

Once you've got your hat and you're ready to hit the town, you've got to make sure you've got it on right. It's a hat, so how hard can it be, right? Right. It's a cinch. All you have to do is angle the brim and front of the hat downward just a little bit and you've mastered the cowboy look. Because the brim of the Tim McGraw hat is already curled up on the edges and flat at the front and in the back, you don't have to work the hat into submission.

This type of look can be done with a plain, tighter fitting t-shirt or with a button down shirt if you want to dress it up a bit. If you're just not sure, wear the t-shirt under a button down that is unbuttoned just a couple of buttons at the top. Of course this goes with jeans; blue jeans for a casual day of horseback riding or picnicking; black jeans for a night out to a nice dinner and a two-step or two.

The Hairstyle

Lastly, make sure you've got hair that will look good even if you have to take your cowboy hat off at some point during your day or night. You don't want to have hat head! Work with your hair to see how it looks after some time in the hat, and you'll find the right look. Better to be prepared in case the time comes when you have to take it off.
