There’s more than one way to rock a cowboy hat and it’s not just at a country music concert or the summer fair. Originally beginning with John Batterson Stetson, who created the American cowboy hat, the hats were often worn by Western farmers or ranchers who spent most of their time outside.

Now, thanks to the 21st century and creative designers and fashionistas, there are different types of cowboy hats and people are using these as another way to express their personal style. You don’t need a certain face shape or hair texture to rock them, which makes them the ultimate style accessory.

1. Cattleman Hat

Whenever you feel the urge to be rugged and tough, a cattleman cowboy hat is the answer. It looks best on men who are older with some scruff or a full beard. Try wearing it with a neckerchief and a dark denim jacket.

2. Amish Cowboy Hat

The Amish cowboy hat is flatter than a traditional cowboy hat. This type of men’s straw hat looks cool. To add a bit of edge to your outfit, try an Amish cowboy hat in black… or try a white hat with a crisp white shirt.

3. Pinched Front Hat

So named for its pinched appearance at the top, the pinch front cowboy hat comes in a variety of colors. With a light-colored tank top, wear the one pictured above, or for dark-colored clothes wear a dark one!

4. Flat Brim Cowboy Hat

A flat brim cowboy hat is great for that hipster vibe and looks great on guys with round faces or small oval faces. Wear it with a jean or corduroy jacket or suspenders and a black and white outfit. Choosing a hat in a bright color like orange will help your whole look stand out.
