2023 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season extended to Tuesday, *England & Wales only*
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2023 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season has been extended until Tuesday 10th October in England and Wales only.
The Season was previously extended until the end of September but what appears to be brief spell of sunny weather in England and Wales has allowed for a further brief extension.
The BLF says that it has implemented temporary guidelines for the extension of the 2023 season. In particular shorts should only be worn between the hours of 10am and 6pm
1] Shorts should be three-quarter length-‘culottes’. 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 not 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, climate change is a very serious issue and given the weather impact currently we are further extending the Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season with temporary restrictions on the time it is prudent to flaunt the beard, shorts and sandals with more limited daylight and colder mornings and evenings.
