Living in the Palisades and working in Woodland Hills provides me with a daily dose of at least 3 different climates during the summer; grey skies and 70s in the Palisades, sunny and 90-100 in Woodland Hills, and of course, the climate-controlled office.

Plus, I drive a convertible that does not have A/C.

None of this, however, would motivate me to want to wear shorts to the office. Ugh.

I do own one pair of shorts, of the patchwork madras variety, that I have been known to bust out on particularly hot weekends.

Personally I would'nt wear shorts to the office, nor would I wear a short sleeved white shirt with a tie. Although my inspiration for attire comes from the 1930's era gentleman. Yet as you see below in the 1950's these three gentlemen had other ideas.

On the other hand I would have no problem wearing shorts with a sportcoat on summer weekends or holidays, especailly in the mountains or at the seaside when the weather can get cooler in the evenings.

Bermuda shorts

Here's a photo of me leaving my parents' house in Bermuda on my way to Hamilton. I think the trick to wearing Bermudas lies in the socks. If you're wearing socks, they should be tall (like the gentleman above with the rifle) or not worn at all.

(sorry, I can't seem to get a photo to upload to the lounge)

I don't think men should wear shorts at all. I don't want to see guys legs. lol Not with wing tips, boots, sandals, barefoot. I don't mind women wearing shorts with wing tips, boots, sandals, barefoot. Shorts are for women and children.

Male legs can be considered quite attractive.

I haven't much to say about shorts. The only time I wear them is when I'm as unvintage as possible... with a t-shirt! Otherwise, I only wear shorts to go swimming and MAY cover up with a short sleeve or rolled sleeve shirt.

I never went to prep school. This is what shorts with a sports jacket reminds me of:
