2023 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season reaches August Bank Holiday peak
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2023 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season which opened in April is set to reach a peak over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
The 2023 Season has seen a widespread adoption of beards, shorts and sandals particularly during the occasional periods of warmer weather
2023 Season guidelines
1] Shorts should ideally be three-quarter length-‘culottes’ for the 2023 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 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 usually not be worn. However there is no definitive policy on this currently.
3a] 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.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, there is no question that the 2023 Beard, Shorts and Sandals season has seen a revolt into style. We expect much flaunting this Bank Holiday Weekend.
