How often do you wear shorts?

[EdwardTeach]

I wear them year round. They are my preferred clothes for chilling at home, and the weather in England is so mild that they are viable outside for at least half the year.

Can't wear them to work unfortunately.

I do this.
My legs get hot walking. Especially up hills. But my top half feels the cold.
Also better to be in shorts than trousers if get wet too.

What I never wear is jeans. Horrible things!

Agreed, if I am going for a walk I will always wear shorts, as it stops you from overheating. I might bring a jacket, but that can be removed /unzipped. Not an option with trousers!
I like you also prefer shorts in the rain. Wet trousers are nasty.

From about 22C upwards. I don't like it when men on the school run wear shorts when it's 10C and raining, especially if they have great legs .

Yeah exactly. I have my 18 litre backpack with it's nice trampoline back. A thin mid layer, a rain shell and shorts.

I can easily take/add layers on the top. But my legs (bare) can take a big range of temps and conditions.

If I don't know what the conditions are going to be like I'll always opt for shorts in spring to autumn. Maybe winter might need trousers of some description. But even then its usually leggings and shorts


Most. Of my clothes are outdoors types. And even more as a £ ratio.

A lot but it's hassle. Anyone worked out a way to keep yourself decent, besides wearing 3/4 lengths?

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander!

All through the year.
It is very rare you will see me in long trousers/jeans.
I even wear them at work in the hospital, if you think I'm fibbing @Malevolence can verify it.

Apart from holidays, when I was 13.

In summer here it's generally in the 30s for many weeks, so in the summer, all the time. In the office or otherwise.

 

[Dalandius]

Yep definitely a postman thing, even when they delivery letter post when it been snowing.

Comes down to all that walking you would not want to get sweaty balls.

 

[Dalandius]

All year round, it does not get cold enough in the UK not to wear them.

 

[Droolinggimp]

I have been wearing shorts since end of April.

Are you all the sandal/flip flop wearing shorts type folk?

 

[sigma]

I saw a guy jogging in shorts and flip flops earlier, I was equally confused and equally impressed that he didn't fall over.

 

[Uther]

From about May until October. You?

n.b. for the people who say they wear trousers all year round how they can manage that in heatwaves is beyond me

Linen trousers.

I wouldn't be seen dead in sandles or flip flops however at work I wear Kung Fu slippers.

Maybe he was on the run, or Brazilian or both
