Sheezy peezy, this stuff never stops. But let me advise, first, the word “can” as in “can I wear cowboy boots with a suit” is asking for permission. Like, “please, mommy, can I, can I huh?”

Directly from my statistical analyzer, here are the latest “can” questions that have directed visitors to my website or this blog:

can i tuck jeans into cowboy boots
can i wear a black belt with brown cowboy boots
can I wear a cowboy hat inside a store
can i wear cowboy boots without socks?
can you wear black cowboy hat brown boots
can you wear brown boots with black cowboy hat
can you wear cowboy boys and khakis
can you you wear cowboy boots with business dress clothes

And this is just one glimpse of hundreds of questions that direct visitors to my website or blog every day.

Seriously, guys, if you are the age of majority, you don’t need permission to…

• tuck jeans into cowboy boots. Asked and answered here.
• wear a black belt with brown cowboy boots. Asked and answered here.
• wear a cowboy hat inside a store. You can, if you want, but a man with common courtesy and manners usually takes his hat off indoors. However, men who have less hair on top than they did when younger sometimes wear a hat indoors — to hide the bald spot.
• wear cowboy boots without socks. Well, you can, I guess — provided you enjoy blisters. Seriously, fellas: socks were made to provide some protection to the feet when walking in boots. Here are my recommendations for socks with boots.
• black cowboy hat and brown boots. Yep, no problem. No one cares, no one notices, and I guarantee that the Western Wear Fashion Police will not confiscate your hat or boots if their respective colors do not match.
• cowboy boys and khakis? While I never recommend wearing boys (the young’uns are rather messy little critters), I betcha this question was really, “cowboy boots and khakis.” Answer: yep, see here. No Big Deal!.
• cowboy boots with business dress clothes. Yep, see here. I wear boots with business attire regularly — no one ever says anything. Honestly, any concern about wearing good-looking dress cowboy boots with business attire is all in your head. Get over it — man up and pull on your boots!

Oh well, another day, another way to assuage the fears of momma’s boys.

Life is short: wear cowboy boots!
