How often is it "Shorts and T-shirt" weather? (Denver: move, title)

[Gorges]

If you go by the local high school kids, 365 days a year.

Every freaking May she'd hope we'd go somewhere and sit out in a patio and have drinks. NOPE. Last year we had that freak of a snow storm around May 20th? Anyone remembers? That was her b-day.

You learn to dress in layers in Colorado. You learn to have your snow pants and snow boots in your trunk, in case you get stuck in the snow/white out and have to get out of your car and walk to the nearest light rail station (personal experience, lol). Everywhere I lived (and I lived in a LOT of places), people have the same lame dad joke "if you do not like the weather, wait for 5 minutes... ". That joke doesn't hold true for 95% of the places. It works for Colorado 100% of the time. It can be 85 degrees today and snow tomorrow morning.

Well, I don't wear T-shirts, but I do wear golf/polo shirts.
1. Cargo shorts are always in style.
2. Golf shirts about 320 days a year.

Dave, cargo shorts? I hope you don't tell me you also wear white New Balance shoes too.

Depends - there are some people here who wear that year round no matter the weather. Maybe a typical year, typical person would be May to mid-October or so.

Sandals and knee high white socks from what I hear.

In the 1970s I only wore New Balance running shoes because I lived near the factory outlet store in Alston, MA.
But, then, in the 90s, I discovered that New Balance make my right heel blister and bleed copiously.
So, no more New Balance for me.

Sandals, sometimes. I own a 20+ year old pair of Mephisto Sharks which are just awesome. Easily worth the $300 USD price. https://www.mephisto.com/us/shark-1372366.html

Socks are Darn Tough micro crew. Never worn with sandals.
I used to like Smart Wool socks, but then they stopped making them in white because all the cool kids wanted gray. I hate grey socks.

Smart Wool socks used to be a Colorado company, then they sold out and the socks went to crap.
The same folks behind Smart Wool started Point6 socks. https://point6.com/
