To me this falls in the same category as #5. If you have the body to rock that look, then go ahead, if not, for the love of all children, women and decent folks everywhere, DON'T.

No, just don't go there. Period.

I can understand your point. Sometimes it's best just to be safe than sorry.

Some guys will think if they dress like the guy on the cover of "Muscle & Fitness" they will be just like them. The problem is, the guy on the cover actually has a certain level of muscle and fitness, while the "Whale of a Tale" at TL or BB, does not.

Can we add Speedo bathing suits at the water parks to this list?

The first time I went to Discovery Cove there was a gentleman sitting at a table next to us while we were having lunch....we kept staring and whispering becuase the man was sitting at the table totally naked. We were appalled. And his body was not one to be showing to the public. He had this huge belly and love suitcases that just formed a protective layer of flesh over his pubic area.

We were doubly disgusted when he stood up after lunch to reveal that no, he was not naked, but was wearing a speedo that could not be seen from the belly enfolding his nether regions.

I swear to each and everyone of you I will never be seen in a Speedo. The only people who should be wearing them are lifeguards and Olympic swimmers.

It will take me years of therapy to recover from that story. Thanks.

On the sunglasses inside I will defend DH a little with that one. DH has prescription sunglasses that he sometimes forgets to switch with his regular glasses before going on a ride. His eyes don't like contacts so he switches back & forth like crazy while at the world and sometimes he forgets (sometimes on purpose sorry Voyage of the Little Mermaid!) to switch his glasses. The best is when he finally realizes he can't see and we're too far into the line for him to g o back and switch!

I've seen some relatively strange fashion choices in the parks, but I've yet to see anything as traumatizing as the inside of a Walmart. It's a an entirely different animal in there. Things that keep therapist in business for years...

The pack is a good one though. Just the name alone would prevent me from wearing it. Maybe if it was the "heavy duty, universal, all-weather utility belt", it would go over better. But pack??

Tube socks pulled up to your calf and in some cases, beyond. The 80s have been over for quite some time.
When wearing shorts, no sweat socks should go past your ankles unless your playing soccer or rugby.

Ok, I know you left off sandals with socks but can I please make this plea - crew socks with slide flip flops! Oh have mercy! I actually have a problem with crew socks with shorts period. Why do you want to make yourself look short and squat on purpose?!? It looks hideous and when I see kids in it I just shake my head in pity for those poor kids. I'll never forget the time when I worked at Macy's and overheard a boy about 11-12 walk by and say, "I don't like skinny jeans." In my head I went, "Said the kids in shorts, black crew socks and slides." It diesn't hurt to have an inkling of fashion sense!

Oy. I first noticed this trend of basketball crew socks making its comeback during my April trip. The trend seems to be in its infancy however I've seen it popping up locally with some high school and college students in both black and white yet black seems to be winning the color choice.

Reminds me of 10 years ago when the male college students started wearing plaid shorts and they are still with us. Oy.

So what is appropriate theme park/resort fashion? I think I'll print out rsoxguy's list to use as a guide to dress when we're in the parks this trip. :p

There were several dudes wearing bikini briefs/boxers at the Saratoga Springs pool last week for some reason!

You know, it is really only in North America that there is such an outrage over speedos/briefs. In many other places in the world, it's totally normal. It's really not that big a deal. AFter all, women (of all shapes) wear the tiniest bikinis that often leave nothing to the imagination. Nobody freaks out about that.

In keeping with RSoxGuys rules we will keep the women out of this BUT....that is a FALSE statement...
I freak out about it and I am somebody....:oops:
