2025 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Season reopens
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2025 Official Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season has reopened for early autumn after a period of suspension due to inclement weather.
The official season runs until the end of August each year but is usually extended throughout September and sometimes into October. Weather conditions in the first two weeks of September meant that the difficult decision to suspend the 2025 season was made.
However BLF observers have noted that the popularity of beard, shorts and sandals wearing has remained largely undiminished and so the season is once again open.
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 was no exception. Moving into early autumn there is the possibility of things getting a little damp but our observers have found that many are still wearing shorts and sandals with their beards.
