Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season extended until September 30th
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season has been extended until the end of September.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Lockdowns seriously disrupted the first months of the 2021 season and many have been unable to flaunt their stylish beards, shorts and sandals. For that reason we’ve extended the season until the end of September.
Guidelines
1] Shorts should ideally be three-quarter length-‘culottes’ for the 2021 season. The length of shorts is particularly important as climate change may mean that unprotected legs get sunburnt.
2] Footwear should be casual. There is a considerable range of sandal type footwear now available. Some leave parts of the feet and toes open to public view, while some do 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.
