The Chic Cowboy Hats to Wear As You Ride Off Into the Sunset
It’s the trending accessory of the summer.
With festival season in full swing, social media feeds have transformed into a playground for concert-ready style inspiration. Amid the mirage of statement belts and microshorts from Palm Springs to Miami, there’s one item at forefront of fan-favorite accessories this season: the cowboy hat. Worn by A-listers like Bella Hadid and Bad Bunny, western fashion has really captured the zeitgeist in recent history, making this particular accessory the reigning sheriff of summer style.
Aside from aesthetics, a cowboy hat’s wide brim offers the perfect amount of shade to keep you cool during long, hot days. Pair the accessory with an essential dose of sunscreen, and you’ll be set for the day–no matter what the UV index says. Whether you’re gearing up to see Beyoncé in concert, or just want to add some flair to your spring dress collection, the editor-approved cowboy hats below are just what your summer moodboard is missing.
