Old fashioned hairstyles seem outdated at first glance, but these retro styles with traditional cowboy hats and braids are still trendy even in this day and age. Braids are the most common style for cowboys who want to wear a hat. They come back in different lengths, so even though you might think there isn’t much difference between braid A and braid B- there is actually quite a bit of variety when it comes to choosing how long you want your hair before putting it up. And sometimes people choose to keep their hair down while wearing cowboy hats because it doesn’t clash too much if they’re going for that fashionable look. You don’t need cowboy clothes or an open pasture to sport these looks- all you need is jeans and one of these cool old fashioned styles! Give them a shot and see how many heads turn when walking around town sporting some old school flair!
