I can remember my Dad going off to work like that in ths 70s, It was also a&nbsp;very common&nbsp;look among teachers when I was at school in the 80s and 90s&nbsp;(again, no AC).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680278 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:33:51 +0000 Anonymous 1680278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen the odd bookstore employee and fashion/home/giftware store guy wearing shorts - but in a really hipster way with a shirt and tie, or a cotton blazer and great shoes. &nbsp; &nbsp;There is something about hairy legs in a workplace that includes the public that still doesn't look right. What a contradiction though - hmm. Interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680274 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:28:08 +0000 Staysfit 1680274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No A/C.

It is hot and humid and our AC rarely goes below 70. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680146 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:16:25 +0000 rachylou 1680146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, on our bakery production floor, pants have to reach the knees. What people wear are more along the lines of jams. I've never worked anywhere - production floor or office - where people wore real shorts. Would've been a scandal to see a man's knees. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680145 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:16:18 +0000 kimlee 1680145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorts are forbidden in our dress code for both sexes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680142 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:13:56 +0000 Diana 1680142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep but as you know I work in an academic lab. Plenty of cargo and khaki shorts here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680140 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:10:09 +0000 Anonymous 1680140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>deleted -&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680135 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:00:35 +0000 Anonymous 1680135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope. It was against our dress code. Pants - usually khakis. Then dress code allowed jeans, but never shorts. Plenty of women in skirts. Short skirts highly discouraged - it may have been in the dress code not to wear them, but they did make occasional appearances. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-men-at-your-workplaces-wear-shorts-in-warm-weather#post-1680133 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 20:58:26 +0000 crazyone 1680133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the reasons I feel comfortable going barelegged at work in the summertime is that there are several men here who wear shorts in the summer. &nbsp;Usually knee-length shorts made out of business casual pant-type material, either paired with birks or loafers. &nbsp;Overall the place is very business casual--mostly men wearing buttondowns and full length pants, almost no ties or even jackets in the winter (most men wear sweaters rather than sportscoats for warmth). &nbsp;How do the men at your workplace dress? </p>
