I keep seeing men wearing shorts in sub zero weather -is this the new cool?

[brimfull]

cool -arf

seriously have noticed quite a few men wearing shorts , the cargo type

what is wrong with them?

My DH always wears shorts, except in very cold weather. NOt to sure why.

they are madfurit ...

and well 'ard

My DH is always in shorts although the jeans did appear in the sub zero weather.

He just doesn't feel the cold!

are they postman?

I saw a women in a t-shirt today!

well my postie alwasy wears shorts but i see other men doing it
most odd

maybe they think they're in Oz

Nope he goes and sits in an office wear it is unbearable stuffy and hot.

No, he is a builder type chap.

mine cycles everywhere too, won't drive a car.

My dh wears shorts constantly (in house) but if bin needs put out or need something from the shop etc he nips out like that.

He was out clearing the snow/ice from the path today in his shorts.

There are a few posties around here who seem to wear shorts all year round -what is it about postmen and shorts? Do they get a bonus for wearing them 52weeks of the year or something?

Also a Dad in the playground (but at least he swapped the flip-flops for boots in Nov/Dec)

Dh wears shorts and doesn't feel the cold. Is in jeans and t shirt today whilst I'm MNing in long-sleeved top, cardi and scarf!

I have seen a lot of shorts recently too.

But.... it's teenage boys/young lads in t-shirts with gloves and scarves that get me.

thermal vest - check
cashmere jumper - check
cardigan - check
Fleece blanket folded in 4 - check
Cat - check

well that's me

Dh - shorts and T-shirt

There's an Italian bloke down the road from me, he used to look really slick. Even he's to be seen out in shorts now - looks like he just plays xbox all day.

I was picking up stuff from the Post Office today and there was a chap (~mid 40s) picking his post up wearing shorts and flip flops. Flip flops! Bare feet! January! Madness! (Oh god I have turned into my mother.)

my brother generally wears shorts from March-October

When I was at uni, all the boys who thought they were cool wore short-sleeved polo shirts (generally pink, with collars turned up), shorts and flip flops well into January. That's Durham University idiots for you.

Lol. Was at baby clinic and newish mum and dad come in; him in shorts and flip flops. This was 2 weeks ago.

I just don't get why posh boys think it's de rigeur to dress that way but he did strike me as red brick uni grad...

We went out for a meal tonight and someone walked in wearing long shorts, it was minus 4 outside.

So it is a new phenomena isn't it?
