    Precisely.

    Though personally I think management should say something like smart nearly knee length shorts.
    Bermuda shorts. Common as business attire in some hot climates. If the dress code doesn't specify a tie then these work with a short-sleeved, pressed dress shirt - think Naval officers. I have a pair in chino material which I wore to the office last week.

    I went out with a friend to a local hotel for a pot of tea and a gossip last week and there was a male restaurant staff member wearing a black skirt. It had box pleats, a bit like a kilt. He wore it with a white shirt, black shoes and socks. I was a bit surprised at first, then thought so what? As long as he is doing his job properly it didn't seem to matter, in that environment. I don't know that it would seem right in all work environments though.

    If its good enough for the Royals (Prince George alays wears shorts as per royal protocol)

    Prince George is five.

    He will probably wear shorts until he's eight.

    It's a bit annoying, but then again, men still tend to get paid more than women, so you could say it's swings and roundabouts....



    Maybe but not simply because they're men...

    Or maybe he is a cross dresser who is toning it down for work.
