I don’t know where you’re at but I got an eyeful in New York City a couple years ago.

People walking to work in the morning on Manhattan — women sheer and braless and obviously on their way to an office job. Multiple such women. 🤯 This is not how people dress where I come from but apparently it’s a thing now at least in The City.

Also men wearing shirt and tie and leather dress shoes with no socks and a kind of garment I can best describe as “office shorts.”

I learned on that trip that I am not a fashion person.

Yeah in New York I saw people wearing as everyday clothes stuff I felt awkward wearing to and from clubs. Plus side is I’m now entirely comfortable wearing leather pants in public

  What am I missing? Unless you are motorcycling what is the allure of this? Just seems like a selective portable sauna for your crotch and legs.

    Because it looks good and at certain bars sends a specific message.

I need to go to New York, it would seem.

Many of them were probably wearing half or three quarter socks. Hopefully most, but even so, they’re almost never made of cotton or a material that actually handles sweat well.

New Yorker here. Some of us with office jobs aren’t always wearing our work clothes on our commutes. We may be wearing something that can get sweaty and gross on the way, more comfortable shoes, etc. and change into office stuff when we get to work.

I’m a guy and usually wear a business-casual button-up shirt, but on my summer commute that shirt is in a bag or tied around my waist like a 1990s grunge-kid’s flannel while I sweat through an old T-shirt or A-shirt my boss will never see.

  Do you ever wear neatly crisply pressed and ironed business-formal shorts to work?

    The stuff I usually wear is wrinkle-resistant, but if there were anything fancy going on I’d just fold a nice shirt and carry it to work in a bag.
