#23: Minnesota
Bundled in earth tones and practicality, this Minnesota couple looks like they just finished chopping wood and are about to apologize for doing it too loudly. His flannel and cap give off major “up north for the weekend” vibes, while her serious expression says she’s ready to host you for hotdish—just don’t be late.

The Midwestern stoicism and Scandinavian simplicity stereotype here, and it works: no-frills, hearty, and quietly polite. Sure, not everyone in Minnesota ice fishes or says “you betcha,” but with that thousand-lakes resilience and Lutheran chill, this duo fits the folklore like a wool mitten.
