Summer Fashion Don't From Mayor Mike

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Wow. All he has to do is pull those socks up and he looks just like my pops.

i'd like to think that the oversight is due to the fact that he's focusing so so hard on being mayor.

that said, can't someone tell the man that he can go sockless or that they make socks that end where his shoes end?

Going sockless would make this passable (in a strictly Upper East Side way, of course) but the socks transform him into a walking incarnation of the word DORK.

It's reassuring to know that Mayor B doesn't have a stylist. Note the pleated shorts!

What was that phrase David Letterman kept using a few years ago? "Pasty white thighs"?

Give the guy a break, its 100 degrees outside. Personally I am wearing a white beater tank and nylon shorts and flip flops and a ponytail. Not the hottest, most stylish outfit ever!

Snark if you want to but Mike has 5.2 billion reasons not to care what anyone thinks of how he dresses.

Yeah, it's so intolerably hot. That must explain why everybody else in the picture is wearing long pants and four of them are wearing jackets.

By hot or not

No it's not hot in Idaho.
Please read where the picture was taken and notice the Oxygen network pres is wearing a leather jacket.

oh, come on, big thumbs up for mayor mike, beating the heat with shorts. pleated no less, but whatever. i can just imagine him thinking, "well, i guess I should tuck in the shirt at least."

When you have billions of dollars you don't have to worry about how you dress.

He has obviously forgotten his black knee socks at home!

I am sure Diana dressed him that way.
