Clothing accessories

Everyone knows a cowboy is not a cowboy unless he is sporting the famous ten gallon hat. Don a white cowboy hat if you are going as the hero to your damsel in distress, or opt for a black hat if you are more of a lone-ranger type of man. Either way, no cowboy costume is complete without a nice cowboy hat. You should also wear a pair of nice cowboy boots to complement the rest of your outfit. If you really want to get authentic, add a pair of spurs to your boots and people are sure to notice.

Other accessories

Now that your clothing is in order, it is time to accessorize your outfit. No self-respecting cowboy walks around without a pistol in his leather holster. Play the role of gunslinger with and wear a silver pistol on each hip. You should also equip yourself with a lasso. Rope all eyes to your costume as you work that lasso round and round.

Now that you have everything you need for the best cowboy costume possible, you can trick-or-treat the night away. With the proper cowboy accessories, you are sure to get all the attention at any Halloween party.
