2023 Beard, Shorts & Sandals eason now fully open after changeable weather
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2023 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season is now fully open.
The full 2023 season officially opened on May 1st but weather conditions have not been suitable for flaunting of the beard, shorts and sandals
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 leave 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*.
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, the Beard, Socks and Sandals season has been a major influence on summer fashions in recent times and we expect the 2023 season to be no different. We’re pleased that after bad weather the Season is now fully open.
