These men (mostly doughy white guys, geeks, and ghetto black guys) think they're being such cool "rebels" against Mother Nature, or they just can't accept the fact that the tacky summer season is over. They look ridiculous. kabjen13https://www.blogger.com/profile/16418894033529192831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-53804612976388002492020-09-20T17:56:34.243-04:002020-09-20T17:56:34.243-04:00I live in Marin County California.

Since we can get a month or two more of "summer weather" (by New England standards), I will wear shorts into late October(usually with a long sleeve oxford and a sweater)and perhaps longer depending on the weather.

I work in a casual enough situation that khakis, an OCBD, and a jacket on the back of my office door is my daily work wear. I work late and often transition to evening activities without a change, so shorts are for weekends and holidays. And, living in a rural area, some weekends I wear long pants (sometimes more colorful between Memorial Day and Labor Day) just to avoid the bugs. I don't store them away for the season, but I follow the weather and my mood. By the time summer is done, I'm ready for the corduroys, moleskin and wool.

As a result, I keep Madras shorts, a Bermuda and 3 Patagonia Baggies in the rotation along with matching short sleeves, linen oxfords and polo shirts from Lacoste and Brooks. <br /><br />Even in very hot climates such as Thailand and Singapore, there is an emphasis on wearing the right outfits. I learned from experience that I am more likely to receive quality service based simply on presenting myself well. Contrary to popular belief, wearing tacky street wear outfits with Supreme or Burberry logos won't help since it's overly-saturated and the majority of these items are knock offs.

We lived in Pleasanton. I went to my first day of school in shorts, a seemingly reasonable thing for a second grader. Wrong! In the mid-1950s the correct uniform in California was dark blue jeans and a white tee-shirt. I got some long pants but was out of step with that place the whole time I was there. It was fresh air to move to Manhasset when dad got a ship home ported out of Brooklyn!

I then told him I wore shorts all winter in his class, in Minneapolis. His face lit up, he said "you're the shorts guy," and he wrote a great letter to a judge who was considering my clerkship application. <br /><br />For socializing in the Mid-Atlantic, I generally shelve the shorts in mid to late October. For hiking and being active, I wear shorts year-round unless the highs are below 35 fahrenheit. <br /><br />andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409031748621766854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-50511355285964486422020-08-31T09:13:41.941-04:002020-08-31T09:13:41.941-04:00Oh yes, one can relate to this! -ARHOh yes, one can relate to this! -ARHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-39789059113385510972020-08-31T08:51:55.966-04:002020-08-31T08:51:55.966-04:00Shorts can go deep in the fall, just adjust the up...Shorts can go deep in the fall, just adjust the upper layers!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-65633496670204661382020-08-31T08:04:55.774-04:002020-08-31T08:04:55.774-04:00Good one.Good one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
