For women, what would you prefer wearing skirts or wearing pants or shortpants? Why? Me, when I was a kid I use to wear a skirt at all time, whether I am at home or outside, not because I am comfortable with it but because it is what my mother usually bought for me. But when I grew, most of the time I wear long pants, but not short pants. I remember I have my first jeans bought after I graduated high school and work part-time on summer job. Until then I started wearing pants whenever I go out, but when I am at home I sometimes wear skirts. I wear skirts outside only on formal occasions, when I go to church or when I am required to wear it.

When I was a kid, my mom always buy shorts for me. Therefore, I wear shorts most of the time. However, I wear jeans almost daily now. I feel more comfortable wearing jeans. I match it with a tee shirt or a blouse. I only wear skirts on those days when I feel like dressing up.

I'm comfortable wearing skirts and pants. But shorts I wear only at home or when I go to the beach. It is generally frowned upon when women wear shorts in public (here in India). When I was younger, we were allowed to wear shorts at home...but always had to pull on a skirt or change into something else when we had visitors. Though our dad was okay with us wearing shorts, he didn't want others to see us wearing them because he knew that girls didn't wear shorts in India and people would talk about it (even though we were in the Middle East then). Now, I wear skirts and pants most of them besides the traditional salwar kameez and saris that we wear. On a daily basis, it is either pants or salwars.

I prefer pants. I did wear skirts and dresses a bit when I was younger, but as I started to get older, I started shunning skirts and dresses because I hated them. I hated that I couldn't be myself or run around and play all the time. So, I started wearing pants all the time because that meant I could run around and play. I'm not a fan of shorts because I don't like how my legs look.

I would prefer Jeans or pants. But also I think they should wear up what they feel confirtable or sensible.

I usually wear a long skirt - sometimes I will wear a dress, but my preference is definitely with the skirts - I like them long and flowing, I feel so feminine in a skirt.

I always prefer to wear pants whenever i have schedules going out i never wear shorts too sexy i guess and skirts you just dont know the weather it might blow and you have everything on top of the table for the boys.

When it's cold out I have to wear pants or I freeze, but if I could I would wear a dress or skirt every day of the year. It makes me feel more feminine & beautiful, they are very comfortable, and I like the way they look on me. My daughters are little princess's in the aspect that they too would wear a dress or skirt whenever possible. I even clean in skirts & dresses in the summertime.

That sounds a lot like me. I would live in my jeans if I could.
