At the Hot Sauce Festival in New Iberia this past weekend, I observed these zydeco accoutrement:
| Fans |
- Accordion fans, used by men and women
- Change of clothes for when the dancers sweat through the first set
- Terry towel for wiping the dance sweat from one's brow, usually worn in the back pocket of the dancer's jeans

- Men often wore a cowboy hat, as did some women
- A common shirt is of the torn-off sleeves variety or a Western shirt, long sleeves intact
- Jeans, naturally
- Nice belt buckle
And I know you're wondering: "Is zydeco attire sexy?"
The answer is, "Yes. Yes, it is."
Said sexiness is ageless, too, as evidenced in this video from a past Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival:
