I can remember a time when men did not wear shorts to work or anywhere else but the beach. Things began to change in the late ‘80s when I first saw UPS drivers and mailmen wearing shorts while working. Now days, shorts and sandals seem to be the official uniform of Millennial men.

I am 79 1/2. I wear shorts 52 weeks a year.

I’m also a no shorts, no sandals guy, and prefer long sleeves, and have never understood the baseball hat thing, but shorts and sandals is common today, I don’t know how the shorts work out in mosquito country though.

I like practical clothes for the outdoors, shoes or boots you can move in, a shirt that you can roll up or down the sleeves, if I ever wear a hat I want it to be useful against the sun and wind.
