Looks run the gamut, but usually guys are dressed in khaki shorts, polos or button downs, and either mocs or sandals. Don't feel the need to pull a full on George Straight-- although he always looks pretty darn sharp!

A pair of jeans, a simple blue button-up shirt, and some boots will do the trick 90% of the time. If you want to authenticate it a bit I would certainly recommend purchasing a decent pair Chelsea boots or cowboy boots. In addition to passing for formal wear the right pair of Chelsea boots look pretty similar to roper style cowboy boots. There are some simple and cheap cowboy boots out there that are fine if they are not for every day use. Also, don't be afraid of all belt buckles. A simple belt buckle can be a nice thing to add some personality to your dress, without seeming fake. They are just like logos on a t-shirt or watches, they say something about you. I have several varieties with sports teams and places I have visited on them. Keep it simple is the Cowboy tradition, but don't be afraid to add some expression. Hi John,
