My "uniform" is shorts, flip-flops and a t-shirt (never owned or worn a sleeveless t-shirt in my life btw). If I go semi-formal, I'll swap the t-shirt for a button-down Hawaiian shirt ... full-formal and I'll swap the shorts and flip-flops for jeans and tennis shoes.
When it comes to shoes, I wear flip-flops 99% of the time .. heck, I'll wear the dang things to dinner if it's an informal place (BBQ, burgers, sports bar, etc). My normal go-to flip-flop is TEVA (I used to skydive in TEVA sandals), but I'm in the market for a new pair and thought I'd shop the competition a bit and maybe change things up. I've been looking at the REEF brand and am about to pull the trigger. In my search, I ran across the Reef Fanning model (which I like) and noticed they have a built in bottle opener in the sole! Now, "back in the day", I carried a bottle opener on my keychain and used it constantly. The fact I used to spend at least 2 weekends/month in Mexico eating homemade tamales and drinking Coronas on the beach may have had something to do with it, but these days, I can't remember the last time I needed a bottle opener. What'cha think? Gimmicky or awesome?
