2025 Beard, Shorts & Sandals Close Season
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the 2025 Official Beard, Shorts and Sandals Season has now closed.
The official season runs until the end of August each year but is usually extended throughout September and sometimes into October.
However BLF observers have noted that the popularity of beard, shorts and sandals wearing has remained largely undiminished and for this reason the first Close Season has been announced. This will run from October 2025 to March 2026
Closed Season 2025/6
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 2025/6 Beard, Shorts and Sandals Closed Season to take care out there:
1 Inclement weather. Appropriate action should be taken in respect of rain and wind
2 Pogonophobia. Participants should beware beard haters
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, the Beard, Shorts and Sandals season has been a major influence on fashion in recent times. We recognise that while Spring and Summer weather represents the peak period for beards, shorts and sandals, numbers do continue into the autumn and even the winter months. We are all about a permissive and safe framework which allows people to dress and appear as they want, whenever they want. We hope that for many the Close Season will be a chance for their beards to regenerate and their shorts and sandals to be renovated
