Shorts, slouch hats and men in skirts!



My favourite time to people watch in the city is during the lunch break.. office workers dashing to get things done.. and then there's always the one who is in winter denial wearing shorts and the occasional, most unlikely of men wearing a skirt around town.. I actually don't mind a man in a skirt though I'm not sure about his footwear :) My favourite pick here as you might have guessed is the older gentleman in the suit and slouch hat, très charmant! Where is your favourite place to people watch? Happy Friday et bon 14 juillet to my amis français, take care and stay safe..

  1. Terrific shots! A good spot here to people watch is a spot I featured the other day- the stepped platform outside the World Exchange Plaza- lots of people going back and forth, music in the summer at noon. Ideal spot for it.

  10. I notice you seem to be photographing everyone on the street from the back. Work on shooting from the front being inconspicuous by shooting from the hip, or pick a good background and let people walk into your picture. They will never know to took a photo.

  12. On the shore walk is my best place. There is a picnic table on a hill and corner, as soon as the person turns the corner, they're in a photo and don't know it. Pick and choose. :)
    Have a wonderful weekend Grace!

  13. Great way to show diversity of fashion! Several of the men look very professional and business-like. Would love to talk to the woman in white shorts; a real individualist! Great body, too.

  14. Nice work Grace. I prefer the white shorts or gray skirt myself. Now it the fellow had a kilt he'd fit right in in Scottland.

  15. Whose idea was it to think that brown shoes with blue, grey or black suits looked good. It drives me crazy.

  16. Your photos show how diverse we all are, and that is what makes it interesting. Or should I say "us" haha :))

  19. Not sure about a man wearing a skirt...as for those wearing shorts in winter I wonder if the just don't feel the cold. Great pics Grace. Have a lovely weekend.

  20. Oh, the men in skirts are back, Grace?
    It was a "big hit" back then when we were in Mexico. I wonder if there is a statement behind?
    Sitting with Ingo at Schadt´s, that´s where we watch people.

  23. When I was in college, I used to do my people-watching on buses. Now, I do it mostly in restaurants.

  24. It's so funny his shoes do look a bit off but my mother would scream that his pants are too long! She had a thing about that! I like watching people too, and it looks like maybe only two girls are on their phone, and two girls possibly looking at their phone. But all the others are phone free! Hooray!

  25. I also love people watching. I think my favorite places are airports and train stations. I think the guy in the slouch hat is also my favorite.
