2022 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season pre-Christmas re-opening
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2022 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season will re-open this week in the run-up to Christmas.
After a period of exceptionally cold weather temperatures across the UK are forecast to be 13-14C on Monday although some areas will be wet. Temperatures will drop down to 8-9C as the week goes on which may be too chilly for shorts and sandals
2022 Pre Xmas Season guidelines
1] Shorts should be three-quarter length-‘culottes’. The length of shorts is particularly important as climate change may mean that unprotected legs can get chillblains
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 usually be worn in the Xmas Season. 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. However fuller organic beards are usual at this time of year
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Beard, Socks and Sandals season has been a major influence on fashions in recent times but this is the first time ever that we have opened an Xmas Season. We are expecting a few Santas in shorts this week.
