OK bachelor dressing 101 help please. I have shorts that are not crappy like basketball shorts or something they are nice, i think of them as what

you might see on a frat guy maybe. I know that might not make sense. Not jeans more like docker material

What in the hell do you wear on your feet? Flip flops seem too casual and well I have hobit feet. Slip on shoe seems weird and very Miami Vice. Obviously tall socks is bad.

My only idea has been sport shoe (newer) with ankle socks. But god if you are going out real casual do athetic shoes make you look schlubby?

Nice sandals. But it depends on what you mean by "going out". Fine for a barbeque for instance, not to a club or restaurant. -- nm - pmb Oct 26, 12:30
