Anyhow. Has anyone else considered the most comfortable of all possible things? Oversized hoodie. Like, way too damn big. Enough to reach at least miniskirt length, like a modern tunic. I wonder if you could get one tailored so that it was that long but not a meter wide.

If you live in a place where it's always cold above waist height but at the same time always warm below waist height and with no rain then that could work?

Rain? Honestly, I prefer less clothes in the rain so I don't get soggy.

It really depends on the temperature. I love being out in just a t-shirt and shorts during a nice summer rain, but if it's raining in November?

Screw that.

[Leafsnail]

Or if the rain is remotely cold.  It's much better having soaked trousers which you can take off (or indeed wearing waterproof trousers) than being chilled to the bone in the shower.

Incidentally, I guess the main reason I have is cycling.  There's nothing else you can wear whilst cycling that works except maybe shorts if it's hot and you know it's not going to rain.

For cold rains I'd probably wear a heavy jacket... and shorts. I'm the type that can wear shorts in outright blizzards, so maybe I'm not one to talk.


There has been 1 point in the last 8 or so years I've wanted to wear pants due to weather: Last November there was a blizzard that hit with ridiculously strong winds (broke 100 mph as I recall). I had to lean into it just to stay standing. Walked nearly a mile in it and was knocked out for pretty much the rest of the day.

Ah, but if you're wearing pants during high winds, they catch more air than your bare legs and will make you put more effort into each step. Therefore the logical step is to go almost nude during inclement weather.

And this is why robots are extinct.

Anti-Pants Faction? Is there really any other option, I mean come on, skirts -> restricting, and robes -> even more restricting. And shorts are good only for like 2 months out of 12 around here. I'm freezing well enough without going around in shorts.

I'm joining Pro Pants Coalition to fight the tyranny of the pantless fasicsts. TO WAR!

[King DZA]

Well that's just ridiculous. Skirts have to be some of the least restricting kinds of lower body wear there is. Unless you're wearing a skirt that's just unnecessarily long, in which case it is entirely your fault.

[Johuotar]

Short skirts are worthless, they provide no protection from climate nor they protect ones modesty.

Not recommended for use in the state of Florida.

Oh come on, like any of us actually have modesty. Half of us are probably naked from the waist down right now. It's the Internet, after all.

[Aklyon]

If you were that interested in modesty, you wouldn't be on the internet. Or you'd be wearing underwear under that skirt.

I gotta second the 'response to rain is to wear no clothes' line of thinking. Seriously, when it starts to rain, I switch it to my swim trunks and a light sleeveless shirt, and I'm perfectly happy.

Unless its cold (but really, if its raining its probably not cold. Then it would be snowing.), and here I will admit I do own a pair of pants - pants have their purpose as specialty wear, I believe, where form fitting is a functional requirement (see: wet suits, frog togs, space suits, firemen outfits, biohazard suits).

Its the idealization as a standard, acceptable form of everyday-wear that is the true travesty, not their mere existence.

So youre not prepared to situations where you unexpectedly need to become fireman? If you would wear pants you would be. PREPARE FOR EVERYTHING.

You need fireman pants for that, though. normal pants are not fire-resistant.
