"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

SARTORIAL ELEGANCE

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "IT'S MY PARTY": 

Would be appropriate
 in Bermuda.

*******************************

Are we still talking about Councillor Abel's nether garments?

Bermuda shorts are neat, above the knee in length with a belted waistband  and knife-edged creases typical of tailored trousers.

Fabric is usually neutral in colour and impeccable. 

Long before becoming a fashion item,they were part of a military or police uniform in desert climes like Sidi Barrani. 

They are not cut off across the middle of female butt cheeks. Neither are they ripped,ragged, bleached or paint- stained. 

They don't slide halfway off the male backside with crotch almost at the knees.Nor hang,crumpled, wide and flapping  below the knees with ties dangling from the outside hem like a pair of upside down laundry bags. 

No..Councillor Abel's nether garments worn for the official opening ceremony of a new business in town would not be  Bermuda appropriate.

My impression of Bermudians is they tend to be fastidious

Without actually seeing the sartorial splendour it is rather hard to judge on appropriateness.

Can you post a picture?
