Metro casuals wear long pants.
That's it.

There are many cooling fabrics suitable even in tropics.

The usual custom is that a boy graduates to trousers around eight years old...lol

Of course most men couldn't care less about clothing etiquette, but those who do care ^^^ that's it.
Obviously, you care, OP.

Few rules:
Men with slim bodies are complemented best by slim-fitting shorts. Avoid baggy shorts as they will make your torso and legs seem disproportionate.

Men carrying a little more weight around the midsection need to avoid slim-fitting shorts. Slim shorts will only emphasize your stomach.

Pleated shorts should be avoided.

Never wear shorts that fall up to your knees because longer shorts (like Bermuda shorts) will make your legs look short and your stomach big.

Not sure where you live….but in USA esp Ca and Florida, shorts are worn all the time..long pants in our weather…not comfortable

What's the best way to remove a clear coat on the toes? Going to wear sandals this weekend but the toes look a bit too shiny and I don't want to admit that I had a pedicure lol.

Just give them a swipe with nail polish remover on a cotton ball. Be careful not to get any polish remover on a surface like carpet or paint.

Regular pedicures will keep your feet looking good, especially if you are going to wear sandals/flip flops all summer. Plus, it is a nice way to treat yourself.

I am in the 'no earring' camp, not a fan of them on men. That is just an opinion, of course, and you should do what makes you feel good.

Thanks for the tip. Tried a "home remedy" using sanitizer but that didn't work too well. Ended up going with this option.

A family member noticed my flip flops, mentioned I never wore them before, and questioned why I was wearing them. Good thing I removed the polish because I did not want to have to admit that I had a pedicure lol.
