Cowboy accessories are the individual pieces that complete a western look, from hats and neck scarves to stars, belts and toy guns. Your cowboy clothing only becomes truly western once you have a hat on your head and a star shining on your chest. For a western party or carnival, you can create three looks with the accessories: the tough revolver hero in black and brown with studs, the sheriff with a bullet belt and badge, or the cowgirl in pink with sequins, glitter and marabou.
Cowboy accessories for cowgirls, cowboys and little sheriffs
- You can find cowboy accessories for women in pink, lilac and light blue, with sequins, glitter, marabou or a silver-colored crown for the hat.
- Cowboy accessories for men are more often about black, brown, white and sand, with silver studs, a braided cord or a buckle with a raised bull's head.
- Cowboy accessories for your child are available as children's hats in brown, red, pink, black and white, among others, and as a five-piece play set with bullets and a star.
- Most neck scarves, stars, belts and sets are intended for both women and men, so a couple or group of friends can share the same look.
Why do a hat, neck scarf and star make a cowboy recognizable?
You recognize a cowboy from a western movie by a hat with a creased crown and curled brim, a neck scarf that protected against the dust and, for the sheriff, a star on the chest. Cowboy accessories play exactly on those features, and that is why one well-chosen piece is often enough. The biggest difference when choosing is between a single item and a set. With a single hat, star or belt you only get that one piece, while a five-piece set, for example, combines a bullet holder and star with a gun, a bullet belt or spurs. You match single pieces yourself, a set gives you the look all at once. If you wear a hat all evening, pay attention to the chin cord: some models have one with a button to adjust the cord under your chin. For a children's outfit, choose the hats and the set that are expressly intended for children.
Head, neck, hip or boot as a starting point
Choose your starting point at the place where you wear the western detail.
- You put on a cowboy hat first, because it immediately determines your silhouette.
- If your gun needs to hang at your hip, start with one of the cowboy holsters.
- A sheriff star on your chest immediately makes you the law enforcer of the party.
- If you want a long weapon in your hands, start with the cowboy gun.
- You tie a cowboy bandana around your neck or in front of your mouth against the dust.
- With the cowboy spurs on your boots, you complete your look down to the heel.
Cowboy accessories for a western party or carnival
You wear cowboy accessories during carnival, at a western party or at a children's party in Wild West style. With a few cowboy accessories you can turn a pair of jeans and a checkered shirt into a recognizable outfit, without buying a full costume. If you go with a group, you dress everyone in the same cowboy gear in one style and everyone chooses their own hat color.
Ordering cowboy accessories for your western look
If you are still unsure, start with the piece that everyone recognizes immediately, such as a hat or a star, and build the rest of your outfit around it. If you are looking for everything at once, a set is the fastest route. If you order before 11:59 p.m., you will have your cowboy accessories delivered the next day.
