Ce sera le moment idéal de porter votre plus beau jeans assorti d’une chemise à boutons-pression nacrés et d’un chapeau de cow-boy ! Tout est permis, plus il y a de franges et d’originalité, mieux c’est ! Mais n’oubliez pas de prendre une veste en cas de chinook.

Now is the time to bring out your best jeans, pearl snap shirts and cowboy hats! Anything goes, the more fringe and flair the better – but remember, when those Chinook winds blow, you’ll want a jacket!
