If you come from texas odds are you will wear a stetson, cheer leaders wear the work out kit all the time. If you are a christian they can be aggresively christian. An old boss of mine met an american christian whose first interaction with him was while shaking his hand to say "are you sharp for the lord?" so americans are seen as tending to be more shallow, or as one french girl friend I had said when some brash tourists went by, (as we drank wine outside a cafe in Paris) "America is a nation of children"
LOL I moved to Texas 16 years ago. I still haven't seen that many Stetsons but what I did notice at first was lots of big hair and cleavage. Sort of a letdown. I am sure there are more Stetsons away from the city and out in the ranchland but here around the city it's big hair, big boobs, big jewelry, and heavy makeup.
**I do see a lot of cowboy boots on men, women, and children. Apparently, cowboy boots are appropriate with any style of clothing, from Wranglers to dresses to sweat pants.
Whenever I see people wearing Stetson or cowboy boots, I have to fight the urge to ask them, ‘So…how many cattle DO you have?’
