Its scruffy, untidy and looks awful especially if you're tall. Only way to conform is to get fitted T shirts which end at jeans top or whatever you're wearing below. That way you dont look out of turn. I will add just one point......when you see golfers on the tv do they look smart or what with polos and chinos on all tucked in or do they look stupid ?? Answers not require. Get "fitted" T shirts ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phraseclothes make the man is a proverb that means that people are judged according to the way they are dressed. My good man, it's 'manners maketh man'. Dress sense is (albeit lacking in society today) something every well-to-do person understands by instinct. There are however, notable exceptions. A girlfriend of mine used to work in Harrods, Knightsbridge. The rule there is that elderly ladies or gentlemen, however badly dressed, should be accorded respect. Knightsbridge is well-known for eccentric millionaires and Harrods always needs to 'make a sale' (bloody Egyptians). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same applies to shorts, knee length chaps, no longer and not much shorter in the street. As there are lots of Scots with drink problems, I could believe that, same applies to guys in shorts.

I can't remember the last time I had long pants on. It's hot here and it's hot all the time. A smart person dresses with comfort, appearance, and climate in mind. I always wear just above the knee well-tailored walking shorts (never sloppy above ankle length or, God forbid, short shorts) and a collared, light-weight material shirt--my appearance is perfectly acceptable for a tropical climate and I'm as cool as I can be in the heat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnie the Minx Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 The socks and sandals/crocs/runners, no way if they are knee high Japanese school girl type. You need anklet things to look the part of a cool yuppy type. Contact your wife or gf for more info. Little stocking type things are all the go.

Minnie the Minx Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I worked in Brunei with this guy who always wore white linen suits to work. Sure he was emulating the Great Gatsby. The dress code thing was something else, I had to struggle in the conservative silk baju kurongs, ( sp) anyway. If you're a man nice type of shorts and shirt over with shoes is nice.
