No offense taken, barefootjaime. Few Americans travel outside of the borders of their country, so many tend to have a parochial view. I just try to broaden the horizons of those who post here whenever it seems warranted.
Well, I for one would love to travel outside of this country, but now they keep making it increasingly difficult. I was planning on getting my passport once I could afford the $75 fee. Now my friend just told me they doubled the fee. Not sure yet if this is true or not.
OK, OK... I will give you that one. Paul is the MAN, and he could probably pull off walking down the street in tar and feathers if he wanted to...lol
I agree. I feel kind of self-concious being too dressed up and barefoot. Most of the time, in warmer weather, I wear shorts and some Tshirt. The closer I get to "dressed up" is wearing Thai fisherman pants and some kurta. I am also a musician as well, so when I perform, I like to dress mostly in black, with collarless not tucked in shirt and long wide pants. The winter is a problem for me, because I was born in a warm climate. I usualy go for wool kurtas, fleece pants and those south-American hoodies.
I agree with you, that's why I don't even wear jacket's anymore. I think it looks absurd to wear a jacket with bare feet. I usually just wear fleece or pajama pants and a sweatshirt or hoodie with a t-shirt underneath. If it's just a tad bit warmer I will wear a long sleeve shirt with a t-shirt on top (usually a tye dye).
I sorta forgot this, but 2 people I know really feel that a guy wearing jeans and a long sleeved shirt and a leather jacket, combined with jeans is hot.....just throwing that out there.
I think bare feet look fine with just about anything, not much different to bare hands when you think about it.
I used to feel I'd rather be caught dead than wearing shorts. Later, when it really got hot I began to relax that view. The pendulam swung again last summer and I could not see wearing shorts. It was jeans through the summer.....weird but from a self image point of view it was jeans only....and barefoot of course.
I don't see what's wrong with shorts. I wear them from March until December, until it gets so cold that I can no longer stand it. Nothing against the way jeans look, it's just how restrictive they are. I need to be free, plus when it's 80 or 90 degrees out, why would I want to sweat my ass off? Come to think of it, in the summer I only wear 2 articles of clothing. Beach shorts and a t-shirt. Well, 3 if you count my hat...lol
I agree that if it's super hot I'll dig around to find a pair of shorts but it's rare. Maybe because I've been spending more time in the city, I dunno.
Nope. In the summer I don't wear underwear because the beach-type shorts sort of have a netting built into them in place of underwear. The only real purpose I see for underwear is an extra layer of warmth in the winter.
I don't wear them in the winter either. I see how long johns would act as a layer, but not so much regular boxers so I figure, why bother.
