Fit In
Cowboy boots go with jeans and suits in Texas, but scruffy is best saved for trail riding. Style matters in Dallas, especially in business circles. Shirts and trousers should be crisp and tailored and a jacket for men is always a good idea for dinner out. Elegant with a touch of glamour is the rule for women.
