…I hate when people only look at clothes for fashion and their appearance. Clothes sound be more functional then anything.
I’ve seen people try to say that shorts are “unprofessional” but my counter is being a sweaty mess is worse. If it isn’t cold enough to warrant pants, in wearing shorts!
Yes. The idea of what’s professional needs to adapt to our changed climate. If I dressed like that in the summer heat I’ma pass out.
I’m baffled how much people care about other people’s clothing. It’s childish. How do shorts or pants have anything to do with professionalism?
Ugh this is what I have to deal with. I have to wear slacks when I go to work and it’s awful right now in this hot weather.
Why do we design other buildings than concrete cubes? Why do we plant trees on the side of the road? Why do we put paintings in our hallways? Why do we paint our walls anything other than hospital grey? Why do websites have CSS? Why do we gift each other flowers?
Esthetics, self-expression, culture. Fashion is the most personal form of self-expression, it should not be a surprise that people care about it so much.
I don’t care if you wear socks and sandals, you don’t have an obligation to partake in cultural norms, but going all the way around to “fashion is stupid and clothes are just there for wind protection” is nihilistic beyond usefulness.
Clothes have function over style. If you pick style over function, you’re in for a bad time.
They still build buildings with a strong foundation regardless of how pretty it looks…function Over style still wins.
Trees provide protection from sun. Function over style.
It depends.
Shop clothes/yellow jacket? All function (usually).
Literally any clothes when it’s 30+ °C outside? Style/cultural norms.Most situations sit somewhere in the middle, but most people care at least a little bit about style. It’s not a fight, and I don’t understand why you frame it as such. It’s perfectly possible to wear functional clothes that also fit and with colors that don’t clash (actually most people who say they don’t like fashion have ill-fitting clothes, which is less functional).
Legs are just arms with shitty hands.
Arms are just legs with shitty feet.
Nah our hands make much better foot substitutes than our feet do hands substitutes. Walking on your hands is way easier than trying to paint a masterpiece or code for hours with your feet!
Nah, check out some apes, they’ve got opposable thumbs on their feet. Our feet are objectively worse, you can only stand on them.
We’re a lot better at standing, walking, and running long distances. Not sure if I’d say objectively worse, just better at different things (but objectively way less cool than peeling a banana and eating it with your feet).
You don’t wear shorts because legs, I don’t wear shorts for mosquito defense. We are not the same LMAO
I am a mosquito banquet actually. There’s always a bite on the back of my knee even if I wear pants.
Haven’t shaved my legs since 2019 and it’s the best. I only shave my pits at this point because my sweat smells worse with hair there. Everything else is free, as nature intended.
Opposite here. Used to never shave. Shaved and the smoothness is intoxicating. It’s a pain to do tho.
Taking the time to do it is part of why I stopped. I have better shit to do than worry about body hair that’s there for a reason lol.
This is such a trans tweet lol
I think this applies to almost everybody.
Maybe. It doesn’t apply to me. I love shorts, I love my legs.
My comfort clothes are jeans. I wear them year round in Houston Texas. I’m also pale as a ghost.
May our legs provide light and guidance to those lost in the night.
Jean shorts exist.
I’m not much of a jorts man
Whatever you do, don’t spill blood on your jorts
Now I’m going to have BDG’s Old Bay jingle in my head all day because that’s how my brain works. Thanks?
k
Idc legs are hot 🦵🤤🥵
i fucking love shorts because i can show off my meteoric thunder thighs to the world and slay the day
You clearly have not lived with 32°C
It’s going to be 34 here this week. I’ll probably be at home in my underwear.
when it’s anything above +25, i stay at home naked with my ac on. if i have to go somewhere, linen shorts and t. and i still sweat like a pig.
You’re at home. Who cares. Be comfortable
You wear underwear at home?
When it’s really hot and humid (like this week), boxer briefs keep my balls from sticking to my legs.
My woofy gets cold otherwise…
It could be 40 and I wouldn’t even consider purchasing shorts.
I have no idea why but for many years I felt this way too. Then it just went away and I have no idea why I would be embarrassed about my legs. Shorts are great!
Did you perhaps become a father?
Does becoming a father make you less body conscious?
Not even close!
Who cares how your legs look like? Do you also always cover your arms because you don’t like people seeing them?
Never. I don’t care what people believe in their religion but I think nothing is stupider than religions that make you wear clothes that cover you all over.
I saw a little Muslim girl diving into a pool one day in a heavy plaid shirt and a hijab, and I just couldn’t believe how stupid that is. You’re like 8, what’s sexual about you?

There are only two parts of me people ever compliment me on: my eyes and my calves.
I’m-a wearin’ shorts.
Growing up in coastal California, the uniform for all genders was shorts and a hoodie, often of the Mexican variety.
Now I’m old and my shorts wearing habit is apparently dad mode.
Whatevs with the dad thing. Be comfortable.
Being comfortable IS Dad Mode.
It’s always amused me that there is this bizarre (to me) subculture that is militantly anti-shorts. It’s always someone from like Scotland or New Hampshire. My dude, I’m not wearing pants in Florida from April to October unless I have a funeral, wedding (maybe!), court appearance, or in-person business event. And I’m only wearing socks if God appears and instructs me to do so in person–which, given I am entirely unreligious, isn’t much of a risk.
Actually, more context: my Floridian spouse is weirded out that I wear shorts in the cold, but I picked that up in a cold climate on a farm: my legs don’t get cold, and wearing pants to throw hay at cows doesn’t really check out.
Today is the first I’ve ever heard of anti shorts. The world is weird, man.
Same, and I hope it’s the last too
Same here, but I’m from north of Sac. My wife doesn’t understand the shorts with a hoodie combo.
I do wear shorts, actually mostly skorts, but I’m never quite brave enough to wear them to work.
I only really hate shorts because my legs are always bruised. It reminds me of how clumsy I am.
I don’t know why but bruised knees are universally loved. Okay maybe I know and the reasons are disgusting. Actually forget that I said anything.
Same. But it’s hot as fuck outside so I don’t feel like I got a choice
