About 12 years ago I worked for the mart of wals... as a male associate it was required that I wore pants during each shift. After a few weeks of brutal heat I decided to read up on our dress code and noticed Capri pants were okay. After talking to my supervisor we agreed that it would be acceptable attire. Not only myself but two other male coworkers came in wearing Capri pants (including my supervisor) the message was received very well and from that day forward we were allowed to wear shorts.

Why share this story today? Well I'm sitting here at work (in shorts) and I received an updated dress code email stating shorts are no longer acceptable. Over the past decade I've gained weight so the Capri pants will no longer fit... and to be fair they were not the most comfortable option. I'm thinking this round I may try a kilt, anyone have a good recommendation for a solid kilt? Asking for a friend... or for MC reasons.
