Step 1
Get the drugstore cowboy look. There is no manual that instructs you how to look like a drugstore cowboy but generally a cowboy-inspired bad-boy look does the trick. Boots and a leather jacket are considered de rigeur while slicked-back hair and jeans help to round out the look.

Step 2
Read the book. Before it was a movie, "Drugstore Cowboy" was a book written by a then-incarcerated prisoner named James Fogle. The book will give you the literary lowdown on being a drugstore cowboy so take a look at this exciting book to play the part.

Step 3
Watch the movie, "Drugstore Cowboy." Gus Van Sant's 1989 film starring Matt Dillon gives a very good picture of what a drugstore cowboy is. You can use the film as a guide to how to be a drugstore cowboy, but be sure to take heed of the film's lessons.

Step 4
Loiter, loaf and generally linger. One of the distinguishing qualities of a drugstore cowboy is the ability to do nothing productive for extended periods of time. The experienced drugstore cowboy is an expert loiterer, so find a local drugstore parking lot to perfect your lingering skills.
