I've started this thread as an offshoot of Warhawk's shirt, tie and suit thread. Now that the weather's getting hotter and more humid by the day I was wondering if any of you wear shorts to your work place.
As a service to all, here are the rules for wearing Bermuda shorts:
1. Absolutely no Bermuda shorts with a blazer - don't even think
about wearing this to work. You might as well just wear your boxer shorts as they have the same effect.
2. PLEASE, do not pair them with knee high socks and dress shoes or loafers.
3. DO NOT sport your bare feet in loafers while wearing Bermudas (refer to #2 regarding socks).
4. I know it’s hard to hear, but you cannot, and I repeat CANNOT wear them with a cardigan sweater.
5. Ditch the jean short Bermudas, please...I can’t beg you enough. If these become popular again, I am seriously gonna cry (the way I did when I saw the Water Horse).
But there is hope. Here are the circumstances in which you MAY wear them:
1. You carry a man purse.
2. You are over 55 and live in Florida or Arizona.
3. You are younger than 18.
4. You are a member of the British Military
5. You golf or play tennis (yeah, it’s okay Dad)
6. You live in Bermuda (seriously, it is the Male dress code - they wear them 3 inches above the knee and this is the trend origin).

Stay cool and remember NOT to dress like a fool!

hey rafter! btw...good post. as far as keeping cool in the workplace... i don't have the luxury 2 wear the shorts in my workplace. i wear the same white nursing uniform at the hospital. one good thing about uniforms is that U don't have 2 "think" about what 2 wear. another good thing about working at the hospital... the indoor temperature is ALWAYS cool. O:O

I'm usually in shorts year 'round.

Warhawk's got it right on about the uniform and not having to think about what to wear. I'm pretty envious of him though getting to work in a climate controlled environment. I'm stuck wearing thick navy blue polyester pants, short sleeved shirt, tactical boots, 30lb duty belt and 30lb bullet proof vest. It gets pretty hot and let me tell you, kevlar doesn't breath so it gets really hot, although it sure helps keep in the warmth on those cold winter days.

LMAO!

I get to wear the same clothes all year round for work:
Suit, shirt, tie
At least women get to vary their office attire a bit and can lighten up a little in summer.
Maybe I'm just really conservative and dull. Maybe I'm turning into my father! EEEEK!

Same clothes all year round when indoors, jeans and a nice polo or button up shirt.
wear the same outdoors in the summer. Can't say that I have the luxury of keeping cool, but i can carry almost a gallon of water in my surveying vest, so all is well.

They are normally worn accompanying a "wife beater" (white singlet, probably not the best terminology for it, but it is what it is commonly referred to in Australia) or topless... or as we commonly refer to it as the "bogan dress code" exibit a:
