Why is it that scrotey lads in trakkie bottoms always have their hands down their front playing with their balls? Is it some kind of inner city mating ritual to indicate to the local bikes that they are ready to breed?

I think it's more to look hard and tough.

Like spitting etc. they do it to shock and to let the observer know they don't consider society's rules to apply to them.:(

When the weather is as hot as it is a the moment I can't see anything wrong with taking off your shirt when you are outside and need to cool off. If you are going indoors to a shop or restaurant then it would make sense to put it on again, as hopefully it will be cooler then, especially if there is decent air conditioning.

I concur. If they've got the self-confidence to flaunt their bare flesh then good luck to them. I'd rather see that than folk sweltering under layers of clothing because they're too scared to show their bodies. Honestly, some people's irrational hatred of anybody that dares to be overweight is ridiculous.

I totally agree. Although I'm not as big as I used to be when I went to the beach last week I hid under a pair of trackie bottoms and a long top and when I went into Nottingham shopping the other day I wore a long-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of admittedly cropped trousers but all you could see were the bottom of my legs.(which are nice and toned thanks to all the time I spend on the exercise bike ) I didn't dare wear a little top or anything for fear of nasty comments or being judged. Yes I'm overweight although I'm really trying hard to do something about it. However I would rather sweat than suffer the nasty comments I've had.

I work on the motorway and despair daily at the visual assault on my retinas and crimes against fashion, displayed by the great & good travelling British public when the sun comes out.

My Top 10 Sartorial Summer Faux Pas:

1) Middle aged women wearing white trousers. Leave them to Liz Hurley.

2) Aforementioned wearing large white pants under white trousers or skirts. Ladies, please wear flesh coloured knickers, they're not as visible.

3) Young teenaged girls, wearing obscenely revealing leggings, rendered see-through by ample rear ends. Knickers are optional it seems. Mothers, don't you care what your daughters look like?

4) Middle aged men wearing cheap wrap-around, mirrored shades. Not even on top of the head, but on their foreheads or worse, behind their heads...indoors. It's not cool, you look stupid.

5) As above, wearing football shirts or anything with McKenzie writ large.

6) The ubiquitous grey-trackie-bottomed mall rat, as mentioned in previous posts. Usually worn with unsavoury looking stains.

7) Shorts; on women who've clearly had to lie down to pull the zip up and on men who look like they're founder members of the Sparrow Leg Club.

8) Nothing says, devoid of class more than a tramp stamp emblazoned across the lower back. Particularly sad on women over 40 whose glamourpuss days are behind them, along with all the back fat, spilling out of their ill-fitting bras. Can be seen accompanied by (5)

9) Flip-flops of any description. Buy yourself a pumice stone and stay away from me with your yellow, hard and cracked heel skin.

10) The obligatory stag/hen coach parties. Wearing L-Plates because they want everyone to know that even mingers can pull too.

Mirror sales must be in decline.

The above seems fashionable in this area, accompanied by leggings 3 sizes too small and the waistband of a thong.

You forgot one:

11) Nosy busybodies with nothing better to do than stand around gorping at other people so they can make pointless judgements about their appearance in an attempt to make themselves feel superior.

What about 12) Understanding when someone is using a sense of humour on a forum?

I agree, it's so often the ones who shouldn't who do isn't it. But we also have to put up with fat and ugly women parading round wearing next to nothing (OK not topless, but near as dammit) even in offices where it would never be allowed for men.

So instead of turning this into an anti-shirtless-men thing, maybe let's have a plea for *everyone* to dress a bit more modestly!

I can't stand seeing people wandering around town with no tops on but it's not as bad as the man I saw the other day wandering around the Co-Op with no shoes or socks on.

Ive seen people walking round just bare foot, never know what you might stand on eg bit of glass and hurt youself.
