As the days grow longer and the opportunities to luncheon outside grow, we start to see the spring / summer fashion trends rear their elegant heads. Whether you favour nautical sailor sartorial or flowing silks of all styles, summer is the season to be noticed.
However, not all toe the fashion line. This writer has one very large and hairy pet peeve, when the sun decides to put it's hat on. Picture the scene: You are walking down a busy high street, taking in the sunshine, spending some undeserved student loan cash, enjoying yourself and then you see it. A fat, pale and tattoo'd male, with his shirt off and (shudder) tucked into the waistband of his jeans.
It's 17 degrees my dears. We are in Scotland, not the Costa del Sol. Inevitably these men are not the bronzed, Brad Pitt adonis types - I would not be complaining so much. I'd peer through my Wayfarers happily. No, they are usually middle aged with a six-pack-of-beer, instead of washboard abs.
This is a plea, to those men who commit this heinous crime - COVER UP! There are many more pleasant styles for men this spring summer, that will keep you cool and stop people like myself, weeping. Many thanks.
