Brit blokes ordered to maintain shirts on within the warmth – particularly for those who’re not match
Blokes have been ordered to keep their shirts on because taking your top off in public has been voted a turn off.
Despite the current heatwave, 75% of men and women said chaps should not remove their shirt unless they are near a pool or on a beach.
Some 33% said the practice should be banned – with another 22% even insisting men who strip off should be prosecuted and fined. But 46% of both sexes said it would be acceptable if the shirtless fellas were in peak physical condition.

“Almost eight in 10 men and women agree it’s simply not the done thing, even during a heatwave.
“Lucky then, for the nation’s men, that the very high temperatures are due to drop this week, across the UK, into the cooler twenties again.”
The poll revealed men from Cardiff, Sheffield, Manchester and Edinburgh are the most likely to show some skin during the summer.
And Gen Z, those aged 18-29, were the most likely age group to take their top off during the summer months, according to the findings.

Seven in 10 Brits agreed men should not wear crocs, while 40% said vests in public are vulgar and should be avoided by men who wish to look stylish in summer.
