Alright, so I’ve been seeing these cowboy hats all over my TikTok and Instagram feeds, especially the ones with a New York twist. I decided, “Why not?” and jumped on the trend. Let’s see how this city-meets-country style works out.
Finding the Right Hat
First things first, I needed the hat. I didn’t want just any cowboy hat. I started by browsing a few shops on, you know, I prefer do things myself.
- Color: I learned I should keep the color in dark, so finally, I chose black one. It seemed like a safe bet, plus it goes with almost everything.
- Material: Felt seemed like the classic choice, and I wanted something durable that wouldn’t fall apart after a couple of wears.
- The “New York” Part: This was the tricky bit. Some hats had little “I ❤️ NY” pins, which felt a bit too touristy. Others had more subtle designs, like stitching in the shape of the skyline.
So after I selected everything.I begin to make the hat.
Making the Hat
I ordered everything, I feel so excited, and when I received the parcel, I opened it immediately.
I prepared glue, cloth, and some shiny accessories in advance.
I measured the cap first to make sure I have enough cloth cut.
I used the black cloth cover the cap, used glue fix them.
I added some little decorations on it, like a Big Apple charm, not too much, just enough to give it that city vibe without being over the top.
The Final Result
Okay, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! It’s definitely a statement piece. I paired it with a simple black dress and some boots, and honestly, I felt pretty cool. I even got a few compliments when I wore it out to grab coffee. It’s fun, a little unexpected, and I think I pulled it off.
Would I wear it every day? Probably not. But for a fun night out or a themed party? Absolutely. It’s all about having fun with fashion, right?
