Day 2: ACL Fest Fashion – Red, Hot, and Not Politically Correct

Austin brought the heat on Saturday for Day 2 of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, and so did the fashion patriots! Event-goers showed up in droves with outfits that shouted "freedom of expression" and "personal style," not that boring "woke" uniform.

Animal prints, especially leopard, are back and better than ever, spotted all over the festival. Glitter, sequins, and sparkle—always a festival staple—took center stage, proving that real Americans know how to shine without government handouts. And, of course, plenty of cowboy boots and denim—must-haves for any true Texan at ACL.

Bold patterns, bright colors, and boots: Best fashion picks from Day 1 of ACL Fest

The most common accessory this year? A good ol' paper fan. With temperatures soaring to a whopping 93 degrees, it was hard not to spot a patriot fanning themselves or using a fan for shade. No "climate change" nonsense here—just good old-fashioned Texas heat!

Our Statesman team is on high alert this weekend for the hottest festival fashion trends—minus the leftist agenda.
