One for the girls: Do you prefer wearing skirts or trousers?

I was wondering, again at work (i really don't have anything better to do there!) whether other women preferred to wear trousers or skirts. There's about an even split between the number of women at work who seem to wear skirts mostly, and the nubmer who seem to wear trousers mostly! I mainly wear trousers, just becuase i'm not 100% about my legs, and plus i feel it's easy to pull on a pair of trousers in the morning than faff with a skirt & tights etc. Do you only ever wear skirt, or only ever wear trousers? Or maybe you're just half & half, lol!

my daughters and I only wear skirts or dresses. I generally will wear a skirt but occasionally a dress. They are so comfortable! my skirts hang nearly to my ankles but not quite and are full and free flowing. I do not like tights or hose, but since my skirts are long if I feel I need to wear a stocking I will usually just use trouser socks, or if feeling more sporty I may put on a nice pair of wool socks, but very little of my ugly legs show so in the summer I do not wear socks at all (unless going to Church or someplace important) I find that skirts keep me warmer than trousers, as well. The air can circulate and the legs get the body warmth from each other rather than more surface area created when seperating them with fabric. I also feel more feminine and act kinder, gentler - I guess dress does to some extent affect your psyche. I also think that others treat me with more dignity when I wear skirts and dresses than when I used to wear slacks. this is just my experience, not sure if it is the same for others who wear dresses/skirts only.

I feel more feminine wearing a skirt, but also more vulnerable and less in control. Maybe i like my trousers becuase i feel i have to compete in a mans world?

I wear pants but I would prefer to wear a skirt. I don't like short skirts, long one. Then to add to the that I don't like clothes that fit to tight. I have to wear them loose. But other people may feel different about what they like to wear. That is just for me.

I like to wear my skirts below my knee becuase i don't like the look of my legs above my knee. would nto wear a skirt to tight fitting either becuase i would worry it clung to my lumps and bumps too much.

Probably 90% of the time I wear trousers/pants. I only wear skirts/dresses on the very rare occasion. Mostly because I have such a big butt that I can very rarely find skirts that fit because they lift up in the back because of my butt. lol I do like the feeling of wearing a skirt though, just don't do it often because of that reason. Guess I need to get rid of my butt lol ;)

I usually prefer trousers these days I'm wayy too lazy but I do have some pretty skirts that I wear if I can be bothered to find some nice tights/long socks/nice shoes to go with them but my work uniform is a pair of trousers and quite lucky it is too as I tear tights alot (not too sure why I always keep my toenails short and everything they still seem to rip)

I tend to wear trousers more than skirts simply because it is easier andi find them more comfortable but on a night out or just when i fancy it, it's nice to wear a skirt as it makes me feel more feminine! having said that i can only wear a skirt when i am having a happy, feeling pretty good about myself kind of day, otherwise i'd feel too uncomfortable and self-conscious in a skirt!! happy mylotting! xx

Trousers all the way, or more specifically jeans, I pretty much live in jeans. I have quite a few pairs in different colours so that I can even get away with wearing them for going out in, I do have some skirts but don't wear them very often, I just feel more comfortable in my jeans.
