wearing (actual) pants

So people seemed interested in talking about this. Opinions. I'm Ok with pants in the winter. But once it gets remotely warm enough, I hate wearing pants. It's all about dresses and skirts.

Re: wearing (actual) pants

  • I'm pretty much just against clothes in general. Plus, it's so goddamn hot down here.
  • My FI's grandmother wears pants a lot lol; other than that I don't see FI or her friends wear pants very often, typically dresses, shorts, jeans.

    I only wear pants when I'm wearing a suit, otherwise I'm shorts or jeans year round.

  • I pretty much never wear pants, ever. The only pants I wear are sweats/pajama pants and jeans.  I live in dresses and skirts, winter through summer.
  • I wear pants every day.  On the other hand, skirts don't really fly well in an auto shop...

  • I wear jeans everyday, except when I'm at work.
  • I can't stand shorts, dresses or skirts unless the skirt is about my knee or below. I know im un natural lol. Go figure I also don't wear anything that shows my feet either. It's dress slacks or jeans for me all year around including 110+ degree weather.

    Put me in the un-natural boat then too.  I have issues with my neon white legs.

  • I'm the same way! I swear to you, I wore pants once (ONCE!) in the springtime, and someone literally asked me if I was okay.

  • I think it's interesting that some people consider pants to include jeans and some people don't.

    I wear pants/jeans/shorts every day at work, because I sit or kneel on the floor and stand on step stools a lot at the bookstore.I'd be too worried about flashing someone! When it's warm out in the spring and summer, I LOVE wearing skirts and dresses if I'm off for the day.

    Right? I consider anything that has two leg holes and covers my legs to be pants. There are different kinds of pants: slacks, jeans, workout pants, etc.
  • I love pants! I wear jeans a lot during the day.  At night (going out) it's all about dresses.  Unless it's the winter.  Even then I wear dresses with sweater tights.

    I have probably 10 pairs of pants - two for interviews, a few that are beat up (painting, cooking, messy events), and the rest are "going out" pants.  They're typically dark and skinny.

    I also admittedly wear leggings a lot.  Sorry.

  • I normally wear pants until it gets nice, and then wear dresses. However, Sparky has caused my thighs to spread and they rub too much. I need to get some more BodyGlide before I attempt to wear a dress again.

  • I wear pants to work because I'm always cold, and in the winter I rarely wear skirts unless it's a special occaision.  In the spring/summer I love wearing dresses/skirts.
  • I feel so un girly now lol

    Don't feel ungirly. I own ONE dress (that I've worn once) 2 pairs of slacks, and one pair of jeans. I refuse to buy more clothes until I lose weight/get a new job.

    I like the idea of dresses and skirts, but they make me feel awkward. I kind of dress like a tom boy - jeans, knee length shorts, yoga pants. Thats it, thats all. Well, and dress pants for work, but thats it thats all.
  • I always wear dress pants to work (or capri length in summer with the occasional skirt). Outside of work it's usually jeans/capris year round with some summery dresses thrown in. I love skirts and dresses, I just don't wear them that often.

    I was also confused by "I don't wear pants, just jeans"! Same thing to me, but I guess most people associate pants with dress pants?

  • I wear mostly pants. I have a couple skirts that I wear but most of them are too fancy to wear on a normal basis. Plus I work at a grocery store and I get weird looks when I wear skirts even though we are allowed.

  • I wear pants with the exception of going out or conferences. Unfortunately, engineering and skirts don't mix well.

  • I wear pants 90% of the time. I cannot stand how I look in shorts and all of the skirts I find are too short or too long. I also worry about planes landing in my yard because of my pale pale legs blinding the pilots...
  • I wear jeans most of the time, sometimes leggings with a cute longer top if its a bit warmer. In the summer I stick to mostly shorts and dresses, I'm not a skirt fan. This summer I can say I'll probably be living in dresses just because they seem to be the most comfy.

  • Ok, so maybe I'm just odd, but does anyone else have thigh problems when wearing skirts? I feel like mine are always rubbing together and it makes me really uncomfortable in skirts/dresses :( It was like that when I was itty bitty and when I was bigger, so I've given up on slimming/toning being an answer.
  • If I was planning on being buried it would be in jeans.  The only way I will wear a dress/skirt is there is a gun put to my head.  Unfortunately they do not make wedding dresses as wedding pants, so there will be one day I wear a dress.  It will only be on as long as needed. 

    I wear dress pants (ok, more like khaki's) for work, but that is about it. 
  • I hate shopping for jeans, and therefore mostly wear dresses.
     I love dresses a lot.

    I only ever wear pants to work (and even then, I mostly wear skirts/work dresses with tights). I only have one pair of jeans that I like, and I never wear them unless it's a work event. I also don't wear t-shirts unless it's to bed or to training.

     

    My wardrobe for my non-work non-exercise time is all dresses. Lots and lots of pretty dresses. Lots of summer dresses, and some winter dresses with cardigans and scarves. 

  • I'm pretty much always in pants or jeans. TMI but my leg hair is so dark and visible I have to shave all the time, so I actually wear more skirts in the winter with tights to cover up my legs. I work retail so I'm always in pants and sensible shoes. I feel uncomfortable showing a lot of my body anyway so there's that. I also never wear tank tops or sleeveless shirts. My wedding dress was the first time I had bare shoulders in years outside of wearing swimsuits.

    We're like the exact opposite. I don't ever wear dresses or skirts. Ever. If it wouldn't cause a bunch of people to look at me weird I'd probably wear pants to my own wedding.
