Completely agree. I grew up in the Dallas area and spent 3 years in Colorado Springs. The "coffee culture" of the area was shocking to me. I had a roommate sit me down and tell me I needed to stop wearing camo pants because it looked ridiculous, while it was fairly common back home. There's so many little things that are different that you don't realize until you're in it.
I'm with your friend there, wearing camo is weird, unless you're trying to hide in some snow/shrubbery/desert.
Anything can be camo if you try hard enough
When I wear camo pants my husband asks me where my legs are.
Camo clothing is associated with hunting and slaughtering wild animals for sport, and bootlicking military cosplay. it doesn't fly well outside the South.
Yep. Colorado Springs is the start of the American west culture. Texas is the end of the south.
If camo pants are good enough for ole Stone Cold, they are good enough for you. Be yourself.
That was my take as well!
Yeah screw the haters. Wear full on camo and they won’t even be able to see you anyway.
