That’s OK as long as they’re not overweight or have a beer gut.
Wear a t-shirt made from wicking synthetic fabric (like cycling jerseys) and you’ll be cooler as well as getting UV protection.
Most of the time when I’m outside in the sun I’m doing something like cycling or unicycling. That means I’ve got a shirt (jersey) on and am likely wearing a hydration pack or my knapsack. So I sport a good old farmers tan and am proud of it.
I’ve had a nice farmers tan all my life, living out in the boonies of Arizona will do that to you. No one can tell though, because I’m always wearing a t-shirt (hence the tan…)
I’m really sorry.
When I said “rich-boy” skin, I meant really pale-white since wealthy white people, for some time, preferred pale skin since tan skin, since a tan implied that you labored and wern’t part of the well-to-do classes. Which I prefer to I must say…
It wasn’t meant to be racial or offensive. I’m so sorry… Forgive me please?
girls just say its hot so you don’t feel bad!
i have one, sorta… its more like a super dark tan on the legs/arms and fades into regular tan on back/front
… i spent way too much time on the beach this summer.
Agreed, but you wouldn’t want to wear clothes like that while working construction, and especially in my case pouring concrete. Nice clothing doesn’t last long.
Anybody ever had a Truckers Tan? That’s where only the left arm gets tanned from resting on the driver’s door with the window down (right arm in the UK).
You can also get this from riding with the sun on only one side of your body all day.
Most of my tan is a form of Farmer’s Tan. Any sun my upper bod takes is significantly less than my arms, neck, and head. The upper bod just can never catch up.
I don’t have a farmers tan. I have a 4-tone tan. My fore arms are the darkest, then from my elbow to my shoulders is a lighter shade, then my back is a little lighter then that, and my chest/stomach is the lightest, although still tanned a little.
