Anyone else not fond of shorts in summer?

I live in a very hot country. I am also older so what I do is wear long shorts. This shorts are often called walking shorts and are 10" long. Sometimes they are called Bermuda shorts. I have a couple of pairs in cotton but I usually only wear them around the house. They are very cool as they are not tight and do not ride up.I just waer them bare footed or with flip flops or sandals. This works for me. The shaving is awful - have done it all of my life and why are the hairs on my legs and underarms black and the hair on my head grey? Life is really not fair.

While I don't care what my legs look like particularly, I do care about comfort and I like the knee pants, just above the knee. I'm 55 and nobody wants to see my old thighs!! Not even me! I've never liked shorts, they pinch my bottom and the backs of my thighs get burned if I sit on a hot chair--and they stick if I sit on a plastic chair! Old lady pedal pushers (that's what we used to call Capri pants) or long shorts for me!

I do not like shorts. I wore them as a boy (back in the 70s they were really short) and I don't mind children wearing them. I do think the baggy ones are horrid, and any adult male wearing them looks alien to me. But I don't see reason to complain, I just suffer their presence. I suppose I would be more tolerant at the beach or pool, but not on public streets, stores, and especially restaurants. As for women, I've seen a few around here that are really tight, some with the bottom hem barely under the buttocks, and most of the time the tops are just as tight. Geez, I'm starting to sound like a cranky old man ...

I never used to wear shorts, but the older I get it seems the less I can deal with hot weather. I also have gained weight, having kids and getting older seems to get some us! lol I figure Im not out to impress anyone I already have my prince and if he still loves me that is all I need! Now I dont go out in Daisy Dukes or anything thou! I do wear shorts now thou. Normally a few inches above the knee. I have ones that I wear when we go shopping and then the real comfortable ones I wear at home.

My husband doesn't wear shorts either. He owns 1 pair of shorts, but only wears them when he has to. Mostly he doesn't like them because he won't wear sandles, and he hates the way shorts look with sneakers and socks. I on the other hand love to wear shorts. I hate the heat, and don't handle it well, so I HAVE to wear shorts when it's warm out!

He he.. I so agree with you.. I too have to plan and wear shorts cause I need to shave my legs for it.. Also my footballer legs aren't really worth showing off... I prefer capris.. They're more comfortable and also trendy and stylish..

I love shorts and I wear them all the time. Be it summer or winter. They are very comfortable and I prefer them to anything. They are comfortable for both staying at home or even if I have to go out to the store or such , I just go out without any problems. If I were wearing pants and such, I feel really uncomfortable with all the heat. bourne
