Do you wear more shorts or capris during the summer?

I wear more capris during the summer than I do shorts. I have big thighs that I hate and I don't like to show off. I used to wear capris for that reason. I guess you could say I am embarassed of my thighs. Some people find my thighs attractive but I don't. If I could I would have lipo suction if it were not so painful and exspensive. I would want a couple of inches off my legs. I would love that. The only thing that will help me now is exercise.

Why Are you Women Obsessed So Much About How Others Perceive You .. Wear Anything you Feel Comfortable in .. Relax, You Wear Clothing to Be Comfortable In, Not to Bother About What the Other Person Thinks About you .. You Remember One Life That is The Life You Are in Now .. So Don't Worry Be Happy ..

i prefer to wear shorts during the summer because it's much more cooler than capris pants. and i can move freely with shorts. capris pants makes me feel uneasy and hot especially during the summer. i sweat a lot.

I wear shorts often and even almost all the time specially during summer..I've got short legs so i need to show more skin off because it makes me look taller. I get more attention to people since I also have a fair complexion.

I am definitely a "shorts person". I don't really care what people think of my thighs or legs. I want to wear it because it is more comfortable. it is much airy and I can freely move wearing shorts.

I mostly wear shorts even if not summer here. We are in a tropical country so its like summer all the time. I have big thighs too and some admire it and some may not but i don't care, i wear shorts as long as i feel comfortable to wear it. However i don't wear shorts all the time, it would really depend on my mood.

I never wear capris. I just do not look right in them, I think. I do wear the capri sweats sometimes though. I usually wear shorts the most in the summertime. I prefer them more.

Hi tuckersheri... I wear both. I am a big size girl. Well that is what I think. Others so no but I think so. Anyways...I will wear shorts when Im at home. Then we I have to go out I will wear my capris or pants. I don't think I look right in shorts even if they are the longer ones. Like the ones that just come above the knee.. I will be glad when the fall weather starts so that I can just wear pants all the time.. You have a nice day tuckersheri..

I mostly stick to capris during the summer as well. I too have thunder thighs. This makes me feel very self concious about wearing shorts. The capris cover up my thighs and also are cooler than wearing pants during the summer. Plus, in the overall view of things, I think that an individual that wears capris looks nicer than someone that is wearing shorts. It is a bit dressier and more put together looking. The only time that I will wear shorts during the summer is when we are out by the pool or when we are going to the city pools.

Hi Tuckersheri I wear capris not becausae I don't like my legs I just prefer them because to me theire more comfortable. I used to wear shorts a lot when I was younger but never wore the very short shorts I never felt comfortable in them. As far as you wanting Lipo Suction thats your choice of course but why bother? It not a cure all and can be expensive you mentioned excerise thats a great start its cheaper ,safer ,and a lot better for you :-)

During summer I usually wear shorts or skirt. I sometimes do wear capris also. Don't worry about having big thighs I think you do look good. You just need to feel good about yourself. :)

I feel more comfortable wearing shorts specially during summer. Summer tends to very hot for a tropical where I live and wearing shorts during these days keeps me cool.

Capris because they are more comfortable for me.

I usually wear shorts in the summer, however I'm too self consious to wear short-shorts. They usually reach just above my knee or a bit higher. Most of my shorts are jean shorts. I do have a couple pairs of capri pants and I wear those as well.
