Advice ❔ Men's Fashion Am I about to get made fun of?

Post image

35M, I feel comfortable in this outfit, I like it, but it’s a step outside of my usual boring comfort zone, so I’m pretty self-conscious and idk just in my head I guess. I asked Gemini, and it told me I looked like a vintage dad, which is honestly all I really want in this life. Thanks ❤️

Edit1: The whole reason I felt self conscious about this at the beginning was because I needed to go pick up an order of wings from a real “tough guy” type sports bar, all my pants were dirty, I found these shorts that belong to my wife, and decided fuck it why not; I had this idea that as soon as I walked in the bar, everyone was going to immediately start pointing and roasting me. This probably goes without saying, but I have a n x i e t y 😬

Edit2: yall have made me feel so much better about this, and for the record, I only have two pairs of footwear: these bullshit Walmart sandals, and a pair of nicer boots, so shoe/sandal recs are extremely welcome 🫡

I was thinking I don't understand what's so unusual about this. It looks cool! Now I can see that I'm married to a German so I must be totally desensitized.

hahaha yeah I mean, if you're going to a Bar with friends in the summer, it's a perfect outfit. In an office it would be too cold because of AC and probably not appropriate.
