As the rules change

During my lifetime various notable fashion rules went away.

When I was young, real men didn't wear shorts.

Real men didn't carry or use umbrellas.

Real men wore hats.

Men wore suits or at least jackets and ties not only to church but to nearly any social occasion, even if only to dinner at Grandma's house, and to work as well if the work wasn't manual labor.

The rule that men don't carry handbags might be going away, too, what with the increased popularity of small manbags for carrying laptops, books, notebooks, and other stuff when it gets to be too much for men's pockets.

But this?

Nah.
