What is ‘Texas style’? Is it defined by any one look or article of clothing? I’m genuinely curious about this: to me, ‘Texas style’ in sartorial terms can connote many different things. When I Googled ‘what is Texas style’ all of the top links returned were about barbecue, so that wasn’t exactly helpful, though it did make me hungry. (Thanks, Google.)

Some of you may recall my mention of these lovable monstrosities dubbed the “fiesta pants”...
