The mayor of Chetaïbi, Alegeria, called for longer and looser shorts on men — issuing a decree banning them from walking around in Bermuda shorts.
"These summer outfits disturb the population. They go against our society’s moral values and sense of decency," Mayor Layachi Allaoua said, according to The Associated Press (AP).

"The population can no longer tolerate seeing foreigners wandering the streets in indecent clothing," he added.
The decision sparked a regional debate over religious and traditional attire as opposed to the habits of more open-minded beachgoers.

Officials in the coastal city of Annaba called on the mayor to rescind his order.
After two days of controversy, the mayor did reverse the order — saying he wanted to preserve "peace and tranquility" for both locals and tourists and that he was not influenced by Islamist pressure, according to AP.
