How do you dress casually? I just wear tanks, shorts, flip flops
My casual dress is casual, but it still does have a
decent style to it:
I wear tank tops instead of regular shirts. I cannot
stand regular shirts.
I wear short pants instead of long pants. I wish we
could go back to the 80s when guys wore shorter shorts :-)
I wear flip-flops instead of shoes. In fact being
barefoot is a great way to go when possible. You directly connect to the earth when
you are barefoot. I go jogging barefoot a lot, on beaches. You can call me the
barefoot boy :-)
Are you like me in this respect?
This time of the year it is tee shirt and jeans, wool socks and boots while outside. Inside the pants and boots come off as do the socks most of the time. If not nude, am inclined to wear just a tee shirt. I prefer tee's to tanks and I too hate the long shorts that seem to be the only thing available, so I have mine shortened. For work around the house, I just cut off the jeans where I have rubbed through the legs justbelow the pocket line. Foot problems keep me from sandals or flip flops, but I'm bare footed when I can be and wear walking shoes when necessary to have my feet protected.
We went out into the textile world today. My casual wear was trousers and light polo shirt socks and shoes.
The wife was similarly dressed except she added bra and nicks with socks and sneakers.
Later when we arrived at the mils place I changed to loose swim shorts and another polo shirt while the wife changed to just a light mid thigh form fitting Lycra dress. With both of us bare footed in the house.
Once the formalities were over we adjourned to our room and became clothes free again,
So for us casual wear depends on where we go and what we are doing at the time.
I am gearing up to go to the New England Patriots Monday Night Football game tonight. Since it is forecast to be 29 degrees (that's Fahrenheit not Celsius) at kickoff, my casual dress will consist of a long underwear layer, a long sleeve t shirt, jeans, a sweatshirt, a ski jacket, gloves and a knit hat.
For those of you outside of the US, that would be NFL Football not Association Football, which at least in the UK is also referred to as Gridiron... a terrible name, since that is a reference to the field of play not the game itself. We don't call Association Football "Pitch".
I wish we could go back to the 80s when guys wore shorter shorts
I have been wearing short shorts since the 1960's. light cotton, just long enough to so the tackle isn't hanging out. It's great on a warm summer day with a gentle breeze blowing up to keep vital parts cool.
Like many of you, casually around the house (if not in my birthday suit or just a thong/g-string), wear short shorts, sox and a T-shirt. More recently I have started wearing tights (ie pantyhose in the US) and a T-shirt. With the latter, it is easier to just slip on a short skirt for going outside (yes I am a bloke!)
When you are barefoot, it is such a
great way to connect with the earth.Being a barefoot runner, I can also
share some specifics about sports sandals. Some of the running sandals are very
good and others are less so (there was some publicity about a few of the
products not too long ago).When I go to a theme park, I wear sports
sandals which can be great when you have to walk long distances. This is better
than wearing flip-flops, which possibly could break when you walk long
distances.I go barefoot whenever I can, but I
always wear flip-flops or sandals where you are expected to (in fact going
barefoot in many public places is unlawful and unhealthy).So I own different types of sandals
and flip-flops for different situations.
You can do a Google search under running
sandals and see some good products.
