Whoa...I am glad my acquaintances and relatives are not as snooty and rude as you and yours. Yes, I wear Durango boots, Rocky Mountain jeans and a big silver belt buckle with an American Eagle on it (and FYI, I am female)on a daily basis...but showboating? I think not, that dress is common in our area, as common as the gun I carry. And no...I don't line dance, that's for sissies. One final thing...since you apparently have an aversion to country girls and seem to have no problem whatsoever in being rude to them...next time you see a country girl without animal hair on her, will you please kick her butt back to the city for me?
Relax, I've got cousins who dress like that, and we get along fine. But at family weddings and funerals they've never looked like Bud and Sissie heading to Gilley's. Not quibbling about everyday dress, just countering the myth that Texans don't know how to dress appropriately for certain occassions. Hey, if someone wants to have a them e or 'everyday dress' special occassion, more power to them. But that isn't the norm here, or anywhere for that matter.
No one gives a second look to KIKKer's (jeans, boots, and western shirts for our non-Houston readers) on the street, but if someone wants to get all costumed up(no matter what style), people are going to comment. 10-gallon hats look silly in an office building, same as fall-off-ya-butt slacks or S&M leather pants. If someone wants to show patriotism by wearing Lee Greenwood flag shirts everyday, good for them, but they shouldn't be shocked and flabbergast if others note that such dress isn't the typical Houston look.
