Is there a bigger fashion faux pas than...

Current trend in Zurich

Black skin tight leggings
Black fur trim ankle boots

Sorry but they look like poodles

To complete that picture all they need is a fur hat.

And you haven't played golf in the colonial tropics. You don't get past the doorman if you have shorts without long socks.

shorts with long socks is acceptable - like wearing a bow tie it's the mark of a buffoon and serves as a warning sign

its the American knee-shorts with white socks look that gets me as it often sported by celebs I have some kind of respect for.

And a whip?

Nice that they've got the legs for it, eh chubs?

They certainly have!

I don't miss the commuting I was doing last year, but Zurich main station during rush hour had compensations.

Only a complete twerp would turn up to work on a scorching hot day with a long sleeved shirt on....or am I missing something.

and why can't you put socks on when you're wearing sandles, do you reallly need to poke your bare feet up someone's nose.

These sound like "Brit" habits, the same people that turn up in continental countries wearing white socks, hankies on their head, and 50p white T-shirts with a Union Jack on, whilst talking to foreigners in a loud voice.

FTFY

Why do some men wear a shirt and trousers with no belt? It looks messy to me.

Because they don't need a belt to hold their trousers up? It seems logical to me.

(I'm thinking of a well tailored suit here)

And a whip?

Hmmm, now that does conjure an image...

Must be. Last time I wore knee length socks I was....well, I won't go into that.

Do I know you?

[OwlHoot]

They wear braces in the City (or used to). So what's to stop one wearing shorts, socks, and sock suspenders?

I think it would look very smart.

Must be. Last time I wore knee length socks I was....well, I won't go into that.

I was in Manila last year and quite a few girls in their 20s wore short skirts and long socks. Thoroughly indecent looking.
