Are you holding a Wild West party and need some cowboy fancy dress ideas? Usually a Cowboy themed event will include cowboy and Indian fancy dress so there is plenty of variation of costumes you can create.
Often just getting a cowboy hat fancy dress style will be enough to look the part by wearing it with jeans and a checked shirt but you can always accessorise further by putting on a bandanna neckerchief or getting a gun holster with two plastic guns ready for a shoot out!
You could even add a Cowboy waistcoat and some chaps over your jeans to look really authentic. If you fancy a more deluxe cowboy hat get a Black Faux Leather Western Hat of softer faux leather with studded band.
If you want to buy a complete cowboy fancy dress costume there are different characters to choose from including a Woody style cowboy outfit and an Official Desperate Dan Cowboy Costume with Mask.
This fantastic costume is great fun and is an officially licensed Dandy product. Desperate Dan has featured in The Dandy comics since its first ever issue in 1937 and is famous for eating cow pies and being able to lift cows with only one hand.
The Desperate Dan outfit includes a long-sleeved red shirt with button detailing and a foam belly for padding. Also included are a contrasting sky blue bandanna, an attached black waistcoat and a cowboy hat.
A pair of brown boot covers and a realistic Desperate Dan mask, complete with stubble and moustache, completes the comic book character. Add a pair of your own jeans and accessorise with two guns and holsters to complete the Desperate Dan look.
If you feel more like more of a Wild West Indian fancy dress costume you can go as an Indian Warrior in a beautifully crafted costume comprising of a sleeveless suede cloth shirt and waist tabard with fringe accents, trousers with tassels, a feather and headband.
Or you can get a budget Indian Brave costume including a two-piece shirt and trousers combination with a belt, leg ties and headband. Add to any Indian costume with some face paints.
If you are sticking strictly to the cowboy fancy dress theme and you have some blue jeans and cowboy hat but you just need a shirt you can get a great hem finished Country and Western style shirt with embroidery detail which is ideal for all cowboy costumes.
The colour of the shirt may be blue, green or red, and the embroidery may be either white or multicoloured if you choose a Deluxe Western Cowboy Shirt but the colour doesn’t really matter, as you’ll look the part in any colour.
And one final thing to top off any cowboy outfit has to be a pair of spurs, which you can put on your boots.
