2025 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season Suspended indefinitely
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2025 Official Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season has been suspended indefinitely due to inclement weather including heavy rain and high winds.
The official season runs until the end of August each year but is usually extended throughout September and sometimes into October. However weather conditions in the first two weeks of September mean that the difficult decision to indefinitely suspend the 2025 season
No Guidelines in 2025
The Beard Liberation Front, one of whose founding principles is that people should be able to dress and appear as they want is increasingly concerned about official diktats about how people should or should not appear.
However the BLF urges those participating in the 2025 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season to take care out there:
1 UV levels. It’s not just sun that can lead to sunburnt legs
2 Pogonophobia. Participants should beware beard haters
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Beard, Shorts and Sandals season has been a major influence on summer fashions in recent times and the 2025 season has been no exception. However current and forecast weather conditions mean we have no choice but to indefinitely suspend the season.
