Dressing for Bare Feet

Sorry, I was answering a question directed at me and I don't think my answer was meant to be lewd in any way.

 

winter I wear jeans and hoodies summer cutoffs and tshirts

 

Hopefully, I'm less than a month away from my favorite outfit: dark gray shorts, black t-shirt, and no shoes.

 

If i'm out on an all day hike i'll wear zip-off trousers that convert to shorts later in the day when it's warmer.

Something different for a barefoot sunday stroll through the park... and yes, men wear skirts, too:

It's almost always a t-shirt and shorts when I'm barefoot. In cooler weather, I'll add a sweatshirt.

 

That's what I usually wear during the warmer months (T-shirt and shorts). I also add a sweatshirt in the colder months, like now.

 

Same here. From April until December it's just t-shirts, board shorts, and bare feet. In the winter I wear fleece pants, sweatshirts, and still no shoes...lol

 

I always dress down. T shirt and my long basketball shorts. I really don't like barefooting in long pants, because walking on the cuffs in bare feet is annoying.

 

I've seen guys on campus wearing suits and flip flops after formal events. I don't ever see people giving them a hard time about it or laughing at them. It's just one step away from being barefoot.

In fact, if someone were barefoot in a suit, people would probably think that they were just tired of their shoes and forgot flip flops. Especially if they were carrying a briefcase or nice bag.

 

Well, the idea to dress up in hippie style when barefoot has been taken up even in cartoons from the hippie era, as this example shows:

It'd be nice, for sure, if we had those times back again.

Great comic, ganesha!

bige1030, if someone were barefoot in a suit, people would probably think that they were Paul McCartney

 

I'd have no problem being barefoot in a suit. I've worn ties while barefoot before. Some people will find being barefoot "strange" no matter what—I might as well make it "stranger."

 

While being barefoot while wearing a suit doesn't work for me, I love your attitude about it!

 

A couple of days ago I was wearing a fuzzy jacket, a tshirt, jeans, and bare feet. I thought I looked a little silly with the bare feet and jacket, but then I said, "Oh fuck it." So, no, it doesn't matter what the clothes are to me. I would looooove to see an exec in a suit on the bus next to me with no shoes on.

Not gonna lie, though.... For short outings in the cold, I can do barefoot, but when I'm going to be gone a little longer, I do flip flops. I need the barrier between me and the cold sometimes. Socks are the enemy!

 

Haha, you should post some pics, I would love to see this getup. I think girls are better able to get away with a look like that. Guys would think it's cute or quirky. If a guy wears a suit and bare feet, 99% of the girls I know would think he's mentally derranged and would NOT want to be seen with him.

 

lol.... It's a good thing I'm part of that one percent! The only way I would think you were deranged is if you had a bloody knife or a gun in your hand.

I read every post in your thread, Jaime, and I understand what you're saying about people goin' "wha?!?" when they see that oxymoron of a suit and bare feet. However, I'm a fat, pasty white chick with hair that gets to looking like a bird's nest at times. If I had to care about what people thought, I'd never leave my house.

That being said, when I was your age, EVERYTHING mattered and I always looked the part.

Next time I wear one of my scary outfits, I'll take a pic for you!!

 

Man, I think you should find new female friends—the ones you mention sound a bit too narrow minded.

 

So, what you're saying is that the guy who got bent out of shape about "preppy" girls and their concern about appearances is...gasp!...concerned about appearances? :rofl:

Sorry that we don't all dress like hippies/beach bums.
