In Germany, we know: There´s nothing more sexy than a man wearing socks and sandals We even have "socks-and-sandals" fashion shows!!!

In Australia, we have regions where socks and sandals are popular too. We call those regions "retirement villages".

That may explain why the fashion is relatively prevalent here at Fermilab. We have a lot of Europeans here, and I assumed they all did the socks-with-sandles thing. Maybe it's just the German ones!

Wow, that poor model desperately needs a haircut, a tailor, a nutritionist, and possibly a blood transfusion. Plus he's wearing socks and sandals.

I have seen academics wearing socks and sandals. But they were Earth Sciences lecturers. And geologists are not known for haute couture.

Paaaaah!!!! - Dont you people know that Germany is the number one fashion country? Especially the Southern part of the country (where I live). We have the clothes France´s top designers, Australian pensioners, Texan sun worshipers and British earth scientists dream of (see pictures below).

We are living proof of good taste, because we invented the brezel, we have wheat beer for breakfast and we take sauerkraut baths every day. At night, we are yodelling at the moon, and when we like a person we call her / him names.

I bet you all want to to acquire the German citizenship now (and please note all the s in the text !!!)

Oh, right...I just assumed that was a nervous tic, and politely ignored it. I'm more of a nudge-nudger than a wink-winker myself.

Well, not only the German ones.
There is also, I'm a bit ashamed to say, the former French president (Chirac) who did.
But then again he is also know for walking around naked during his holidays close to a paparazzi camera, so he's not really considered as a trend-setter in the fashion crowd.

But Texans do not seem to stand the sun. I took a walk this summer in Austin from the hotell to a shopping mall and the only other people I met out walking were some other Swedes. So Texans seems to be a bit afraid of the sun and spend all the time in air conditioned cars...
