You don't have to dress a certain style or have a high-priced fly rod to have fun and catch fish. In fact, it's better that you don't look like the catalog model for Simms, Columbia or Patagonia.
Now, in my wiser years, I realize that the sun is the enemy. No more tank tops, no more hatless days, no more skimping on the sunscreen, no more wanting a dark tan. Now it's treated fabric clothing offereing 40+ SPF protection and a good sunblock. I've worn the same long sleeve sunblocking shirt most of the summer, a wide brimmed hat, along with sunblock everyday. I've not wanted to wear different wading shorts because the brown high-water mark is etched into whatever you wear. I'll use this picture of Rick as an example. 
The flowing river water directly hits our left leg most of the time so that side of our shorts usually has a darker mark from the muck in the water.
I'm now in search of the perfect cowboy hat.

You'll have to pick a style of your own to match your great casting on the river..You'll know it's you when you see it!

I always look at the hats in the fly shops. I'm more concerned about sun protection than fashion, but it's fun to look.
