@Monty27 you could always style them like an off duty Vicar and wear them with thick socks, a knobbly knitted tank top, short sleeved shirt (plus dog collar), and shorts with plenty of practical pockets on the sides (for twine, secateurs and the common book of prayer)..... but only if you’ve got Covid lockdown hairy shins.
You’d have to wear a straw hat as well as your mask, so you’re unrecognisable in public....
I think they’re doable.
You could even wear socks over them, if you ran out of emergency sloe gin, and the fugliness was really getting to you.
