Why do men wear shorts in February?

The sun is out and so are the shorts. Not mine, you understand. Nope. It seems that the minute the sun appears a lot of men think it's time to get their shorts on. 

The fact that it is just coming up to the end of February doesn't make a scrap of difference. Nor does the fact that yesterday it was the warmest February day on record. We are basking in a mini heat wave at an unusual time of year, but that still doesn't mean those shorts should be on! 

What is it about men and shorts? Short shorts, long shorts and in between shorts. It doesn't matter because the sun is shining so they need to be on. Yesterday the men came out in summer clothes while the women all shrugged off their coats, but still left their cardigans on. You see women are a little more cautious. Yes, sure, it's a warm day, but it's still February. Okay the daffodils are out and the birds are confused, but it's still February and Winter in the UK. Next week we could have snow!! 

Big no no's for men......please do not wear short shorts in the supermarket. It's totally not nice and you will freeze your butt off in the chiller aisle. Please do not wear white socks with those sandals. It's totally not cool. Actually please do not wear sandals in February. It's February you know? Actually please do not wear socks with shorts. If it's warm enough for shorts it's warm enough to go without socks. Oh and please don't wear vests with shorts. A good casual shirt or a smart t-shirt looks good, but vests? Nope. Oh and lastly, white legs and shorts? Difficult one. Just a small tip.....if you have white leg's don't wear pale shorts, and most especially not white shorts!

Now don't worry, this was just a humorous piece. If you feel comfortable then wear what you want, within reason of course. Any nudity or near nudity off the beach is definitely not appropriate. But we are lucky now because, in spite of what the clothing manufacturers will have you think, anything goes. We are not dictated by what is 'fashionable' any more. Your own personal style and fashion let's you be who you want to be. It takes the pressure off everyone to 'conform' to a fashion. Be yourself, be happy and wear shorts even if it's February!
