Equality For Shorts!

If you’re a man working in an office with a dress code your choices on what you can wear to work are pretty limited. Basically you can wear either a suit or trousers and a shirt depending on how relaxed the dress codes is…..and that’s it…..that’s your choice…..whoop de do!

Now let’s take a look at what women can wear: lots of different styles of trousers, suits, long skirts, short skirts, dresses, leggings, SHORTS and all manner of tops, shirts, jumpers, cardigans…..the list just goes on and on. Add this to the fact that all the different options women have enables them to dress suitably for different seasons like leggings and a warm top in the winter and a loose linen dress in the summer…..but us poor men have to wear the same old crap all year round and sweating our cobblers off in long trousers during the hot summer months can’t be good for the sperm count!

In my last place of work men were forbidden to wear jeans but women were allowed to wear jean skirts…..how is that right?

Anyway, in the immortal words of the late Owen Hart “Enough is enough and it’s time for a change!” so what can us men do? Well we could all become Transvestites…..but wouldn’t that make weekends a bit boring if we were all dressing as women on weekdays as well?

I have always believed that men need more clothing options, especially for work. Maybe the Scots have got it right with their kilts, personally I love the idea of wearing one, think of the comfort…..no more pealing your ball bag off the inside of your leg! But maybe a kilt isn’t for everyone so the obvious option is shorts and if you’re anything like me putting on a pair of shorts just makes you feel good. A smart pair of shorts with clean crisp shirt and a nicely polished pair of shoes…..how is it possible to look smarter during the summer?.....and let’s face it, anyone wearing a suit in 80-90 degree heat looks like a bit of a tit.

So here is what we are going to do, Wednesday 28th of July, 2010 is going to be the inaugural ‘Equality For Shorts Day’ where men wear shorts to work to help the current discrimination against shorts. This is not about going to work looking like an extra from Baywatch it’s about doing your best to look as smart as possible while wearing shorts to prove that men should be allowed to wear shorts to work whenever they want to.

So if you’re a man who enjoys the sensation of a nice cool breeze swirling around your Niagra’s when the weather is warm or even if you’re a woman who just likes looking at men’s legs, join this event and invite all your friends!
