Florida Highway Patrol Uniform Voted the 8th 'Sexiest' in America, Reveals Survey

From Wealth of Geeks

Firefighters often bask in the glow of adulation for their heroic deeds and, let's admit it, their eye-catching uniforms. However, their comrades in blue have been patrolling the sidelines of the fashion lineup - until now. When it comes to attractive men and women in uniforms, the police service is strutting out of the shadows, ready for their moment in the spotlight. Indeed, America boasts an array of police uniforms, each with its own charm and charisma, turning the men and women who serve into icons of style and substance.

Wealth of Geeks recognized this unsung sartorial splendor and recently tapped into public opinion, asking 3,000 people to identify the sexiest state police uniforms. The survey was less about the long arm of the law and more about the strong impression these uniforms leave, where tradition meets style. The top 10 were as follows:

#1
Texas Department of Public Safety: Lone Star Style
They say everything's bigger in Texas, and the state's sense of style is no exception. Texas State troopers emerged from the poll as having the sexiest police uniforms in the nation. Envision shirts in a crisp, authoritative dark tan, known affectionately by troopers as "Texas Tan". These shirts aren't just attire; they're a banner of pride and tradition, tailored to stand tall against the backdrop of bustling cities, sprawling ranches, and everything in between. They're designed to command respect with a silhouette that's as sharp as a cowboy's resolve. It's the cowboy hat that truly sets this uniform apart, worn with the swagger of a rodeo champion and the solemn duty of a ranger.

#2
New Hampshire State Police: Granite State Green
The second most attractive uniforms belong to the New Hampshire State Police. Shirts in a crisp, stately forest green, as enduring as the state's vast wilderness and as welcoming as the small towns nestled within. Paired with tan trousers, the ensemble is brought together with a belt that signifies the strength of New England character. However, it's the campaign hat that truly captures the essence of the New Hampshire State Police - It's not just an accessory; it's a statement, a nod to the commitment and courage required to uphold the law in a land where the state's motto, "Live Free or Die”.

#3
Missouri State Highway Patrol: Show-Me Style
In 3rd position overall, reflecting Missouri's expansive skies, the French blue shirts paired with dark navy trousers encapsulate the state's fusion of progress and tradition.

In the heart of the sunbaked Southwest, the Arizona Department of Public Safety uniform, which came in 5th place, is a testament to desert cool under the scorching sun.

“In the end, it's not just about the uniforms but the people who wear them with honor and style. As one survey respondent aptly put it, 'These uniforms are more than fabric and threads; they're the embodiment of the states they represent and the officers who wear them with pride.' With this lineup of state police uniforms, it's clear that America's law enforcement officers are winning in the style stakes too” says Michael Dinich from Wealth of Geeks.
