The Joy of Lax (Pinnies)

There are plenty of sartorial signifiers out there in terms of what is permissible in the summer, perhaps the most famous being that of not wearing white before memorial day or after labor day. For many the appearance of white means the official start of summer. However, I gauge how I know it’s summer by an entirely different metric: lax pinnies.

And I’m not saying lax pinnies as worn on the lacrosse field – I’m talking about wearing lax pinnies as an article of clothing when you workout.

Rocking a lax pinnie while crushing some weights is definitely up their as one of the bro-ey-ist things you can do. And why not? It’s awesome.

Let’s review a couple of advantages of wearing lax pinnies:

1. It’s cool (as in temperature wise). It’s silky texture feels really good and cool against a bro’s skin even when the mercury rises.
2. Suns out guns out, dude. It’s a great way to show off your pipes without resorting to a t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off (looks like you’re trying too hard, bro).
3. It pisses some people off who don’t get bros. Take it from me – wearing one running in downtown Manhattan is bound to annoy some hypertrophy-challenged hipsters, which is great (annoying them, not the hipsters).
4. It’s the absolute perfect length.
5. A corollary to point number two, the open ventilation provides excellent freedom of movement when blasting your chest, bi’s and tri’s.
6. Finally, it looks awesome. Especially when paired with croakies and a sweet pair of shades. (For further reference lookup Ultimate Lax Bro, The)
