2024 Beard, Shorts & Sandals are *the* male fashion trend of Summer
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2024 Official Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season has reached a peak with ideal weather conditions forecast for many areas this week.
Indications are that a beard, shorts and sandals is the male fashion trend of the Summer.
2024 Guidelines
1] Shorts should ideally be three-quarter length-‘culottes’ for the 2024 season. The length of shorts is particularly important as climate change may mean that unprotected legs get sunburnt. UV remains high even when the sun is absent
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 not be worn. This policy was confirmed by a vote earlier in the summer.
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 the 2024 season is beating previous records. We can celebrate peak season and flaunt the beards, shorts and sandals, but of course its important to stick to the official guidelines
