You see it a lot when you’re out and about at this time of year. The wife, a big fan of The Fabs’ ‘White Album’, calls it the ‘Bungalow Bill’ look.
It is, of course, that fashion conscious choice of many British males, namely, baggy knee-length shorts, black ankle socks, and trainers or Jesus sandals. It seems to be particularly popular with the more mature gentleman, who, if he’s lucky, can augment the look with spindly legs criss-crossed with nasty looking varicous veins.
To finalise the look, add a t-shirt (gilet optional for cooler weather), rucksack, and for the ultimate flourish, a Straylian bushman’s hat.
Go for it guys; with a little effort, you too can be a style icon. Just remember how ZZ Top put it; ‘every girl crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man’.

I wouldn’t be seen dead in shorts, or god forbid sandals.
I’m not inflicting my white hairy legs on the british public either.
Some people need to look in the mirror before they go out in public.

I’ve never heard of Bungalow Bill.
It’s an education on here some days.

I’m of a certain age where comfort has replaced style as the priority when heading out in public. Who am I trying to impress? The ladies? I’m invisible to them. I like to add the cherry on top with a Fanny pack.
How else can I carry an Sig 9mm when wearing a threadbare T-shirt and shorts with no pockets?
Also, only slip on shoes for me anymore. No more wasted minutes of the life I have left fucking with shoe laces.
I do make a bit more effort if I’m out with my 13 year old daughter. Don’t want her to have too much trauma to spill to her therapist someday.

In the UK the colloquialism “fanny” has a different meaning from that in the States MC. Some of us are trying to work out your meaning, others are having a good laugh. No offence intended.

Maybe Hip sack? It’s a pouch you wear on a strap around your waist.
