The Poly Population's Fashion Retardations

The other day I was basking in the sun on Dexter lawn, enjoying a nice Californian 78 degree winter day listening to my friend Lynette critiquing everybody's outfits as they walked by. I found this quite humorous because Poly definitely has its own fashion.

Some of these fashions are often observed and well know, some have names and some don't. If you go to Poly then you might know what I'm taking about.

A few days before this gorgeous day at school, I was at the beach with Lynette when her brother called her and she proceeded to tell him that Californians aren't all hippies and that we have a lot of cowboys in SLO county (she's from Illinois). Then she told him about some boys that she saw the other day at school, she explained to him that they wear dressed as Bro on top but cowboy on the bottom; I thought this was funny and she asked me if I have witnessed this fashion phenomenon. I had not, thus leading us to Dexter Lawn.

Lynette excitedly pointed out two guys that where wearing the combo attire; she was right, there seems to be a massive population at Poly that dresses Bro (frat boy) on top and Cowboy (wranglers and cowboy boots on the bottom). We concluded that this fashion phenomenon needs a name and needs to take its place with the all time greats like the "Eskihos" (I did not come up with this name and do not take any responsibility for the offensiveness of its nature, but this describes girls that wear polyester jump suits that they tuck into their Uggs).

I find that situations like this do not come around too often. It is a true honor to be the one who names a fashion trend and so as intelligent college students we pondered; I suggested Bro-Boy but Lynette said that's just a Bro, this went on for at least 30 min with no prevail.

A day or so latter I was expressing Lynette and my need to name this fashion trend to my friend Jeremy, who without missing a beat revealed to the world the linguistic miracles "They're Going to the Bro-deo." So Jeremy on be half of the world thank you.
