Beards,Shorts & Sandals Season restarts as Midsummer is marked
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has announced that the temporary suspension of the 2020 Beard, Shorts & Sandals season has restarted from dawn on Midsummer’s Day 24th June
The season has been suspended due to inclement weather
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Midsummer is an excellent moment to restart the Beard, Shorts and Sandals with maximum daylight to flaunt the look.
Guidelines for the 2024 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season
1] Shorts should ideally be three-quarter length-‘culottes’ for the 2020 season. The length of shorts is particularly important as climate change may mean that unprotected legs get sunburnt.
1a) Shorts of the length worn by Nigel Farage are specifically forbidden.
2] Footwear should be casual. There is a considerable range of sandal type footwear now available. Some leaves parts of the feet and toes open to public view, while some does not. The BLF is not prescriptive about the matter.
3] Socks should generally not be worn. However if the beard, shorts and sandals are to be displayed in relatively busier urban areas it is likely to be prudent to wear closed rather than open casual footwear and ankle socks, not visible to others may be worn.
4] There is no prescription or definition on what type of beard may be worn, or how this may match with the shorts and sandals. This is left up to the individual.
