The must-have spring accessory? Glen Powell’s cowboy hat from ‘Twisters’
If anyone can convince us to go western, it’s him. Inside, shop the exact hat worn in the movie
I THINK WE CAN all agree that Glen Powell is the man of the moment. We started off the blockbuster season with Hit Man and are rounding it out with Twisters, and the whole time in between, Powell hit us with healthy doses of impeccably crafted looks, from a double-breasted suit to Esquire-editor-approved white sneakers. So if you, like everybody, can’t get enough of Powell’s style, there’s one more thing you need to snag before the summer is over: a cowboy hat.
Not just any cowboy hat, though. This is the exact one worn by his character, Tyler, in Twisters. It’s a straw number by Resistol, the Texas-based manufacturer of authentic, rugged cowboy hats. The hat undeniably completes Tyler’s charming, rogue social-media-star look, but hey – even if you aren’t a midwestern influencer facing a potentially fatal natural disaster, this is a style you’re bound to look cool as hell in.
I know a cowboy hat may not be on everybody’s shopping list, but think of it like this – at the very least, with a white tee and some bootcut jeans, this is going to be a great Halloween costume. (And Prime shipping ensures you can have it in a matter of days.) If you’re looking for a dope new way to accessorise, adding some western flair to your wardrobe is always a good place to start – and leveling up your favourite cowboy boots with a hat is never a bad idea.
But if you happen to actually love cowboy hats, then this is a style that’s a no-brainer to add to your rotation. The metal eyelets allow for ventilation, and the fabric lining is all about wicking away your sweat (or offering some protection to your head from, say, tornado debris). Plus, the Shantung straw construction is water-repellent and resists stains – if nothing else, this hat is a stylish and functional piece of headgear.
A good rule of thumb this summer is that if Glen Powell has it, we want it, and a cowboy hat is no exception to the rule. Add a chunky metal belt buckle to your Amazon cart before checking out and be merrily on your way to looking every bit like a leading man.
