You can ban ONE summer look. Which?

[awfulapril]

Which kind of outfit or particular item are you seeing in the hot weather that you'd like to ban Man or woman.

illogical hatred preferred
i think bikini tops anywhere other than a Beach. At

Men with their shirts off, anywhere but on the beach/ by the pool. I’ve just seen a topless oik on Sainsbury’s.

I live in sandals all summer. My feet are buffed, clean, hairless, pedicured every few days.

I can't give that up, I hate having hot sweaty feet.

I mean the thread is ageist,sexist, fat shaming.

It has it all.

Yep, shorts are horrid when it is hot. Long, floaty, natural materials and as covered up as possible is actually cooler. I love a huge and florid dress though, why wear shorts when you can float about like a dryad or an elven princess? Shorts are boring. I do the gardening in dresses!

It is too hot for me to care about what other people wear.

Topless men out in public (except a beach or pool etc) I find it feels really aggressive to me. Otherwise wear what you like.

THIS!!

Do not wear your thong bikini under a transparent plastic skirt into town. Do not wear your Speedos into town.

Thank you.

Ps - I hardly go out when it’s hot because everyone loses their minds and it’s so busy everywhere, so I mostly don’t see what other people are wearing.

I don’t love the look of those calf length cargo trousers on the felllas but other than that I’m just so happy it’s warm and sunny and everyone is enjoying a long weekend. I can’t get het up over what anyone is wearing. It’s been a lovely weekend.

Linen or cotton trousers or shorts that look like your vagina is trying to eat the fabric. You need a size up, they are not airy and cool on you, they are creased and strained

families of American tourists all dressed the same. A middle aged white man, a middle aged white woman and two teenagers, all huge (not necessarily fat - just massive and really solid) all blandly complacent, all wearing basic long shorts, basic polo, huge white trainers. Sitting in a row in a tube with enormous bottles of soft drinks.

My legs will no longer take shorts, so I’ll carry on with my midi dress and trainers.

I loathe jersey shorts on men. Especially the really loose flappy ones.

Otherwise, everything has already been mentioned, but I’ll add red burned flesh.

Just shorts in general. Especially those worn by those aesthetically unqualified to wear them i.e. usually anyone over the age of thirty.

(I’m being generous here. I’d like to say seventeen and I would if I were UK style dictator. )

Agree @Meadowfinch I have lovely feet too, people often admire them

And lovely legs. Lol

Echo everything said already. I don't know how some people men and women can be so oblivious to how they look. I know they don't care though!

Anyway, for a bit of drooling and light relief, here is how men on the Cote d'Azur in Summer present themselves. How gorgeous. The only topless men and near naked girls/women in shops etc. abroad are usually not from that country and a lot are British. You can spot them a mile away.

WE ALL AGREE SHIRTLESS MEN STOP SAYING IT

lol @outerspacepotato sad!

That's why we love it

Midi dresses with little denim jackets over the top

Oh yes. This but almost caused a fight further down the thread

Topless men with their shirt tucked into the back of their shorts

Full niqab on women, little girls in hijab.

So many women today encased in synthetic fabric while their menfolk are in T shirts, boys on shorts.

A few years ago I was walking down Regent Street and a completely naked man was walking towards me. Mid fifties, bit of a belly, bits swinging everywhere. His total insouciance was almost admirable. Obviously, being British, we all just averted our eyes and pretended NOTHING WAS HAPPENING.
it was still less offensive than shirtless men 😆

There is no comparison with just about anything a woman might wear and men not wearing a shirt. There is something very aggressive about a man being topless anywhere other than a beach or swimming pool.
