Alright, let’s talk about these… what do you call ’em? Suit with shorts! Yeah, that’s it. Seen some pictures, young folks wearin’ ’em. Fancy pants stuff, I tell ya.
Now, I ain’t no fashion expert, mind you. I wear what’s comfortable, what works. But this suit with shorts thing, it’s got me scratchin’ my head. I mean, a suit, that’s for church, or maybe a weddin’. Shorts, that’s for workin’ in the garden, or maybe when it’s hot as blazes outside. You put ’em together, and what do you get? I dunno, looks kinda silly to me.
Is it practical? That’s the first thing I think about. Can you work in it? Can you go to the store in it? Can you chase a chicken out of the yard in it? I ain’t so sure. Seems like those shorts would be catchin’ on everything. And a suit jacket, that’s gonna be hot in the summer. So, who’s this for, anyway?
Heard tell some fancy people wear ’em. Movie stars, singers, them types. Well, they can wear whatever they want, I guess. They ain’t got to worry about gettin’ dirty or workin’ up a sweat. They just gotta look pretty for the cameras.
But for regular folks like us, I don’t see the point. You wanna be comfortable? Wear shorts and a t-shirt. You wanna look nice? Wear a suit with long pants. Simple as that.
- The Jacket: Now, these jackets, some of ’em are short, barely cover your behind. Like they ran out of fabric or somethin’. In my day, a jacket covered your whole backside, kept you warm. Guess things change, huh?
- The Shorts: They come in all kinds of colors and patterns. Some are plain, some are fancy. Some are tight, some are loose. I guess it depends on what you like. Me? I like shorts that let me move around, you know? Gotta be able to bend over and pick up a dropped tomato without feelin’ like you’re gonna bust a seam.
- The Fit: They talk about “slim fit” and “classic fit.” Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. Just make sure it ain’t too tight or too loose. You gotta be able to breathe, that’s what I say.
And where do you even buy these things? I reckon you gotta go to some fancy store, the kind where the prices are higher than a kite. Probably pay more for one of them suits with shorts than I pay for a whole year’s worth of clothes. Ain’t worth it, if you ask me.
But hey, to each their own. If you wanna wear a suit with shorts, go ahead. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when you get stickers in your legs or your jacket gets caught on a fence. I’ll just say, “I told you so.”
So, what’s the bottom line? Suit with shorts… it’s a trend. Like bell bottoms or big hair. It’ll be here today, gone tomorrow. And I’ll be here, wearin’ my regular clothes, doin’ my regular things. ‘Cause that’s what makes sense to me.
If you’re lookin’ for a good suit, go find one that fits right and feels good. Don’t worry about all that fancy stuff. And if it’s hot, just wear some shorts. Simple as that. No need to complicate things.
This whole thing reminds me of when them city folks started wearin’ jeans with holes in ’em. Paid good money for pants that were already torn up! Made no sense to me then, and this suit with shorts thing don’t make much sense now neither. But that’s just my two cents.
