Is it just me or...
 
do Emirati blokes look a bit gay when they wear white sandals?

A colleague at work was wearing a pair today and, stopping short of trying to out him, I said that if he wore those in the UK, people would think he'd borrowed them from his Mum.

They look very comfortable. As do the kandoras. Personally I would love to just throw on an abaya in the morning over my jeans rather than have to worry about what I am going to wear that day.

If you ask her nicely, she'll wear a Man City bra..........

No cups and very little support.
