Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal
Jeanie, and Jeri, thanks for the responses. And Jeanie, thanks for the photos. They were a big help, though I'm still not sure about what the British crumpled look looks like in warm weather. But I suppose that look is much more dressy than tee shirts and those long shorts.
Btw, in my neck of the woods, those long shorts are called "capris", though I guess their real name is "capri pants". When I was a child in the 1950s, this length pants were called "peddle pushers". Maybe they were called that because it was easier to ride a bike with those length pants than a skirt, but I'm not sure if that's the real reason. And maybe the Capris are called that because they are named after the Italian resort, Capri, and not the car that has that name, though the car is probably also named after the Italian resort.
Btw, and this is off subject- but both men and women wear capris. And capris come in different lengths and different styles {some are straight leg, and some aren't}. And I've noticed that for at least two years or so {but it's probably has been a fashion trend longer than that} women wear capris with dress boots or high heels. They also wear jeans with dress boots or high heels too. I say "they" because I don't wear jeans with heels, though I've have worn capris with dress boots, though I've not done so that often.
When I was young{er} :o) jeans and "peddle pushers" were strickly casual dress. Times change and so does fashion. But I'm {also} one of those folks who don't change our fashion preferences just because the fashion trends have changed. As a matter of fact, in some fashion styles and other ways, I like being different from other people.
