A pair of blue jeans with two worn in spots: in the knees and the butt pocket where a wallet is supposed to go. Any shirt pairs well, but I love to see flannel, reminds me of Iowan sunsets in the fall while harvesting is going on. A pair of work boots, a baseball cap, and a pocket knife leave the house every morning with this style. Names like “country,” or “hillbilly,” or “redneck,” are used to describe individuals like this. Sometimes derogatory, sometimes empowering, depends on the day, the person, and the situation. When I see this style, I think of home my Uncle Daran, my friend Allison, and so many other dear loved ones.
