    Why don't men wear short sleeves in hot weather? I've seen so many blokes in the City wearing suits with long sleeved shirts, and big sweat patches. What is wrong with wearing short sleeved shirts? Serious question! 
    Because we are not coach drivers

    Short sleeves with suits look ridiculous.

    Gym was empty which is great!
    The gym was actually the coolest place I’ve been today. My first time on a treadmill for about 10 months. Would have been unbearable to run outside

    Or Prison officers or pilots. 

    Surely sweaty pits are sweaty if in long sleeves or short?

    Nothing wrong with coach drivers haha. Day trip to Weymouth tomorrow. Deckchair is already under the coach. Shorts packed. Day on the beach whilst getting paid. MK Dons First Team Friday to Northampton. Wonder if I can stir up some rumours or get some gossip from the players!

    Currently sat overlooking the Solent watching an electrical storm come ashore along the coast in the Portsmouth area. 

    Nice little sea breeze hitting my balcony. 

    Have a good trip on the trains tomorrow guys and gals ......

    Yeah Yeah, gloat why dont you... Whilst all I've got to enjoy is Orpington High Street

    Was there Saturday afternoon. Grew up there. Bloody high street (like many others alas) filled with coffee shops and charity outlets.
    And The Walnuts being sold as a residential development opportunity

    Nice website!

    Pretty damn spectacular. Was like someone was constantly turning the light on and off. Took me back to strobe lights back in the day in some dodgy club!

    Had a similar experience - sometimes have to wait for a space in the gym car park, today it was almost empty. Yet the gym was freezing and the pool was even better.

    Short sleeves with a tie, WTF.

    It just doesn’t look right in a formal context 
    Nor do big sweat patches!
    Invest in decent anti perspirant and make regular trips to the bath room to re apply

    I want to thank you for the answers about why men don't wear short sleeved shirts. I have often wondered why they walk around in dark suits, long sleeves and sweating like a pig! It's really bad if you are not allowed to wear lighter clothing in hot weather. Actually really discriminatory if you are being told that you have to wear suits/ties etc. as women don't have to put up with that. We can wear light cotton clothing to keep cool - I'm currently wearing a fitted summer dress, light enough to cope with the hot weather but still smart enough for the office. A man in smart linen trousers and a light cotton shirt can look very professional - probably more so than a hot sweaty mess arriving for a meeting in a suit and tie :-)

    Work clothes in general are ridiculous. I wear a polo most days in summer because my work allow it. Work shirts are generally quite cool anyway.

    Suit jackets... In summer... No thanks.
