Shirts, shorts, shoes

From Saturday's Globe and Mail

This summer, the rule of threes works for the office, the bar and the picnic blanket. For a truly sunny look, top it off with a bright bag ...Read the full article

    to lust after; to want badly; this does not necessarily fade after you've had the person. It normally gets worse. The pants get hotter.

    Jessica has hot pants for Jim so bad that she went out and bought new lingerie.

    Is beastiality in these days?
  6. Jeremy Fewster from Canada writes: consume, consume, consume - new shorts? You'll have to get some shoes to go with those - and of course, the latest accessories. Style is about how you do things, not what you happen to be wearng at the time.
  7. Imperial K from Toronto, Canada writes: It's time to let dress shorts into the office, sorry get over mens hairy legs...I don't like some peoples faces either but I don't deny them access.

    When it's 40' with humidity outside, it's insane to ask someone to come in wearing a wonderfully horrid cotton/wool pant blend that only raises the stink factor when it gets really bad.

    Australia allows those proper summer shorts, knee length, and golf shirts...why not us!

    Away with these dowdy buisness suits....
  8. Imperial K from Toronto, Canada writes: Jeremy...normally I'd agree with the consume bit...totally agree.

    But shorts just don't last, at least mens. I have several and they get lots of wear and tare.

    I mean there is nothing wrong with look presentable. But yea, don't go overboard, as nobody is really looking at anyone these days. Save for creeps and stalkers.

    That's ultimately what may hurt fashion most, at least for everyday people. It just usually doesn't apply. Everyone is too busy living their lives to care what X person is wearing. ;)
  9. The Blind Man Is King from Burlytown, Canada writes: There is no way guys should be allowed to wear shorts in the office. I'm all for comfort and equality - and on that note, let's ban them for women too - but "dress shorts" is simply a contradiction in terms.

    Golf course = Shorts
    Patio = Shorts
    Boardroom meeting = Dress pants and a button-down shirt

    If your office doesn't spring for A/C, maybe it's time to consider a new office?

    I couldn't agree more! Ban the flip-flops, tank tops, and other beach wear as well.
