Fashion Freedom?

[Nolyn]

I was in a Starbucks this morning, while wearing my olive green utility kilt. When went to the counter to pick up my beverage, I ended up standing next to a woman who was wearing olive green cargo shorts. That's fashion freedom for you!

Same observation here.

I custom a fabric and notion store called Jo-Ann Fabric. usually filled with women. Most of the time I am the only man in the store, and always the only one wearing a skirt or dress.

While out and about at a shopping centre, I was stopped by two young gents, who enquired about the skirt I was wearing. It was a knee length tan cotton with only two slash pockets. I observed that one gent had on large flowing "basketball shorts" and the other a pair of capri shorts, whilst the young ladies were all wearing very short shorts. I took a phot out of my billfold of when I was their age and showed it to them. One girl in knee length skirt, one girl in coolottes to the knee and one wearing a pair of capri shorts, whilst all three of us boys were wearing short shorts. Both did a double take. Fashions have indeed been reversed.

Cheers,
Steve

Excellent tale! I always remember watching Wimbledon in the 70's where men's shorts were very short indeed. Not sure why they changed to those baggy balloons they now wear...

Probably the chafing issue, fashion as well.
