I hate shorts and t-shirts! is it just me?

[crashbb]

Hey, we're not just hillbillies - we're redneck hillbillies.

BTW, I do wear denim shorts sometimes, but I have never watched NASCAR or named my car. I better get right on that.

What if you don't wear denim shorts, don't watch NASCAR, but have named a car?

That's me. Guess that makes me a backwards hillbilly.

Jean shorts on guys are right up there with braided belts and tucked in t-shirts. They belong in 1998 which is about the time I got rid of my last pair of them. I don't notice much when it comes to fashion because I generally don't care but those three things stand out. By all means wear them if that is what you are into but I will think you are a bit out of touch with the year 2012. Of course if no one wore odd stuff people watching would be much less fun.

I see women all over with jean shorts though and think nothing of it.

I've also never named a car nor do I have any desire to ever watch a single lap of Nascar so I guess I'm ok. Formula 1 on the other hand...

I have to agree with you on this. It's not SO bad when they're at least baggy, but recently I saw a guy wearing *tight* jean shorts with a tucked-in tee-shirt. NOT a good look.

I was watching Nascar & Ultimate Fighting at Hooters last night wearing my khaki cargo shorts & Ted Nugent/REO/Styx concert-T drinking the mexican beer Dos Equis (which I am drinking right now btw).....Not sure what category that is.

Why the awesomeness category of course.

I was watching NASCAR last night in my jean shorts, eating pizza and chicken wings. And just to bring it up a notch, I was braless.

I'm sitting here reading this stuff...and wearing denim shorts and a t-shirt.

 

[Jennasis]

HA! I did it! I bought denim shorts today. And let me do y'all one better..I bought 'em from Goodwill!

 

[jen0610]

Clearly there are a WIDE range of fashion tastes and styles. Bottom line is wear what YOU like, what makes YOU happy and YOU are comfortable in. As long as your butt, gut and/or nay-nays aren't hanging out it's all good.

Ok, I read the 1st one and I had to clean pepsi off my monitor. Kept reading and got to the 2nd one. Nearly choaked on pepsi, as I tried NOT to have it go all over the monitor again.

Goodwill - one of the best places to find a steal on all the over priced Ralph Lauren crap the clothing snobs get rid of.

I was just thinking about this thread this morning. It was our first day of no 100 degree days since late June. We were at WDW the first week of June and it was the typical hot/rainy summer Florida weather.

When we go down there in teh summer, I sweat. So I wear jogging shorts or skort, v-neck tshirt, and running shoes. I think it's possible to still look cute in nice workout clothes. I don't dress like that usually here in Va outside the gym, but then again, I'm not pushing a stroller outdoors for several miles each day either.

OP, I'd rethink the jeans. I can't even imagine needing them anywhere in the South at all in the summer, let alone Florida.

 

[BlovesC]

I wear denim capris a LOT down here in FL. There's only maybe three months out of the year where I'll wear actual jeans with any regularity.

But my Disney parks uniform is a pair of khaki/woven or cotton capris, along with a gauzey blouse, and my Teva sandals. In the colder months I just add a hoodie. So I guess that means I don't wear 'trainers', t-shirts, and shorts either. I feel soooo special!

The worst thing in the world to me, since I've moved to FL, is socks. I can go a full year without wearing socks, if it weren't for my job. Socks are pretty important in a hospital. When I leave a 12 hour shift and walk out into the 98 degree humidity, the polyester scrubs don't bother me so much, it's the socks that kill me!

I feel the need to point out this website:

http://badshoe.com/bad_shoes.htm

I consider walking 8-12 miles a day in 90+ degree heat an athletic endeavor so athletic wear is warranted if not necessary.

*BUMP*

Great website!

And I completely agree with you! You need comfortable shoes when you are walking as much as you walk when you are at Disney. And it is an athletic endeavor--so it is only smart to wear athletic shoes!

And gosh who gives a dang how you look when you are at a place that is 1,000 degrees in the shade and we are constantly sweating and groaning and moaning and crying and being hit by millions of strollers on a mission and dealing with toddlers toddling into you and moms yelling and dads crying and teenagers rolling their eyes as we wait in 12 hour lines to meet people wearing outfits pretending they are happy to see us as they wear 50 pounds of fake fur and wonder when their next break will be, and then prepare to pay $400 for our next meal and then cram into a bus at the end of the night filled with people who look like they want to stab someone in the eye and smell even worse, only to wake up and do it all over again.

Does it matter how we look in this situation...........

I only wear shorts and t-shirts to the barn. My muck boots really complete the outfit.

I've been known to muck the barn in my pajamas. In the winter, sometimes just my Carhartts...and I mean JUST my Carhartts.

 

[Deb & Bill]

...I have invested in a couple of pairs of nice coloured denim shorts and I have a few nice t-shirts that I will wear with these....I will be packing my trainers but these are to wear to the gym, NOT to be worn with shorts or anything else because noones legs look good in trainers!...

One thing. Denim and water rides/hot weather do not go together. Nothing gives you a worse feeling than wearing denim that is wet from a water ride or wearing denim when it is extremely humid (which equals Florida). Raw chapped legs that will hurt forever.

And if you haven't been watching the Olympics lately, the female runners/hurdlers have the best looking legs I have seen in a long time and they are all wearing running shoes. Those women are fantastic.

And we do all this in the name of having a vacation. Are we crazy?

Been there, done that. The horses don't care. I feed them and pick up the poop...their top priorities.

Does it matter how we look in this situation...........

Well first of all, I am never in this situation. I refuse to go to WDW in the summer. If given a choice between going in the summer and not going, I pick not going and I am a die hard Disney freak.

Now, yes to some of us it does matter how we look. Shocking I know, but when I don't feel good about how I look then I am in a very bad mood. For me personally, I find tennis shoes to be very uncomfortable and very hot, I mush prefer flip flops, My feet aren't damaged, been doing this for years, and I am perfectly comfortable in them. I realize others aren't but for me, tennis shoes are for working out and only working out.

 

[1Jackpot]

OP, I say wear whatever is comfortable to you. I also very rarely wear shorts and t shirts and wear a ton of sundresses and wedge sandals. I'm cool and comfortable and that's all that matters!

 

[chloe4ever]

Yep, we are all crazy!!!

I realize others aren't but for me, tennis shoes are for working out and only working out.

The thing is, walking 10 miles a day at Disney in the heat is out working out

I understand wanting to feel good about how you look, but some women really need to chill about how they look in certain situations. 100 degrees and you are walking around in ten tons of makeup and clogs.....so silly I always feel so sorry for the men to be married to a woman like that.....It is like the ones who drag their guys to shop for clothes:

"How does this dress look????"

"I don't care. Kill me now. Oh, I mean, it looks great."
