[Allenberg]

[JAbuchan08]

2. YES!!!

[Kathleen04]

3. I think

I've seen you before!! :o ;)

[JAbuchan08]

6. Hi, my name is Don Johnson...

[Misunderestimator]

4. And white tube socks and loafers.

[bucknaked]

5. Hell yes! White, with a pink carnation...

7. In Bermuda it is the custom

[Deja Q]

8. Cool!

Seriously.

[kwassa]

9. We were in Bermuda last April, the businessmen all dress in shorts and

sport jackets.

It still looked a little strange to my US eyes.

10. At least they remain physically cool as well as sartorially superior.

In the US it's the whole slacks and shirt and all that. And if you're the type that easily sweats, don't expect to make a buck...

21. Black socks do not go with shorts

Is this a lounge lizards convention?

:rofl:

[Ivan Sputnik]

11. Only if I was an egregiously preppy little boy

which I'm not.

[Guy Fawkes]

12. Only if I'm seeing the Queen....

and then it has to be Bermuda Shorts (with knee socks and penny loafers)

13. I'm the only Yes vote so far

It depends on the context. It could be very appropiate in a tropical, business casual setting.

[miss_kitty]

14. If I were a guy in Bermuda

[progmom]

15. apparently, I would

I just found this pic of me emceeing a Dave Brubeck workshop in 1991. There I am, in shorts, a blazer, and white sox. Oh, the humanity.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Omigod, progmom....how cute you were in this pic!

(Not to say that you aren't cute now!)....I think you looked very nice, BTW...

Oh the humanity, my ass.....:rofl:

[progmom]

20. thanks, Peggy!

:blush:

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. No

But I might wear one without pants.

[WCGreen]

17. Hawaiian Shirt, Blue Blazer and Khaki Shorts.....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Is there documented proof? Like a pic?

It sounds good...but I'd like to see a pic of this, my dear WC!

I LOVE Bermuda shorts! :loveya: :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

18. sure ...

why not, I have the legs for it

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

22. Sure. I have in Bermuda.. and I will again

when I go again... NOT SOON ENOUGH!

[Dave Reynolds]

23. I did one time only,

for senior photo day. Waist-up shots only on a very warm day.

[progmom]

25. i wore a dress with Doc Marten boots for a similar situation

;)

[xultar]

26. The answer would be different for women and men.

[Spider Jerusalem]

27. Good god, no.

I'd wear summer-weight linen trousers, but not shorts (even if I were in Bermuda...just because the local population likes to look ridiculous is no reason for me to follow suit).

[Orsino]

28. Not twice, I predict. n/t

[tjwmason]

29. I don't posses a pair of shorts

excepting boxer shorts (obviously), ones for sleeping in, and swimming shorts.
