And more respected overall?

Cool is an absolute term even though it is a nebulous reference without any one true definition.

This term does not correlate to Weather or Thermodynamics.

It is not a reference to relative temperature as to degree or gradation.

Ever person has their own perception or reasoning to access if someone is or is not cool.

You are either cool or not cool.

This is not your decision. Only others can determine if you fall into their category of cool.

You cannot be sort of cool because if you are then you are not cool all of the time thus being not cool because to be cool you have to be cool 24-7/365.

If you begin to think that you are cool you have taken an irreversible step away from coolness.

If you know you are cool then you are absolutely not!

The only way to be cool is to be cool while not having any idea that you could ever entertain the idea that you might ever be cool now or in the future.

Even if you were actually cool by consensus yesterday, you can wake up and be not cool for absolutely know fathomable reason.

The pursuit of cool is antithetical to being cool and can cause permanent irrevocable un-coolness.

It is easier for things to be cool than for people to be cool. People do things to be un-cool and things do not.

It is better just to be yourself, and hope for the best.

Cold?

That is a completely different discussion.

Depends where you live. I was born in Texass but ended up living on the Gold Coast of Connecticut in a wealthy WASP bedroom community adjacent to Manhattan.

Absolutely zero guys here, other than me, wear cowboy boots and western hats. But I still wear my boots probably 50% of the time. I just like em and they're comfortable. And I'll thrown on an expensive fur felt Stetson or a waterproof wool western hat once in a while depending on the weather.

If you're gonna try to rock western wear outside the Southwest, you better be ready to own it with confidence. You will get looks. Double takes. From everyone. Men seem to think WTF is with this guy. Women on the other hand seem to like a guy who isn't afraid to be different. And I'm 6'2". With the boots on I'm 6' 3 1/2". Hard to hide in a crowd! Women mention my boots all the time. I'm a novelty, LOL. And the hat is hard to miss. It's a conversation starter. But it's really just nostalgia for my childhood / memories of my grandfather for me.

So is a hat gonna make you cooler? No. Not unless you wear it with confidence and MAKE other people accept it. Even if it's completely out of place. It really can be a great conversation starter. Just make sure you can handle the attention.

Wearing a cowboy hat can give off a cool and confident vibe, especially if it complements your personal style. People often associate them with a sense of adventure and individuality, which might enhance your presence. Respect is more about how you carry yourself, so if you wear it with confidence and authenticity, it can definitely add to your cool factor! 🤠

Only if it's a very large cowboy hat.

exitseven · Answer

Yes , but you need to wear this t-shirt too.

@circushowcowboy only in Texas or outback Australia? Or in farming communities / farmland areas of any country

RavVid · Answer

Well the equivalent in Australian is an akubra hat and drizabone if raining. I think dressing as a stockman just makes you look a fucking idiot in the city. Cowboy = stockman in Australia.

Chances are you'll look more like a wannabe cowboy.

I never equated the wearing of a cowboy hat with cooler or more respected. Wearing of certain style of cowboy hats that work for you can drawn in attention - typically positive. That is about all I can say on the matter.

AviatorTom · Answer

Cooler, yes. It will keep the hot sun off your head and make you cooler. Respected, probably not.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Goofy or the redneck look. There is very little in between when it comes to hats of any kind.

Bricealan · Answer

@circushowcowboy No... not in any way unless you live in Wyoming and live on a ranch herding cows.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Look if you want to wear a cowboy hat then wear a cowboy hat and wear it with confidence.

If not then don't. I wear em I like em. Wear one because you want to not because you think it'll look cool and get you respect.

Staximus · Answer

That depends on what part of the country you're in.
