To all the men saying they're comfortable enough in jeans / chinos / whatever... you should TRY wearing a dress in a hot summer. There is a little bit of adjusting to get used to it, but after that damn they feel amazing. Women are so lucky to wear these whenever they want to.
You can of course decide you're comfortable enough in whatever, but an informed decision is always the better thing.
I would miss my pockets though. Can I just wear basketball shorts everywhere?

Guys generally wear skirts or kilts in protest. We had a guy at work (US) wear his kilt a lot in the summer, as intended btw, as a protest for allowing shorts in a workplace that doesn't face customers. He got reprimanded exactly once. He is Scottish in ancestry and the kilt was real, although he also had one that looked like cargo pants too with pockets all over it.
The cargo pants looking one was probably a Utilikilt! Those are cool.
That's exactly what it was!
Haha cargo shorts go brrrrrr
I stopped wearing pants almost a decade ago. Joggers & sweats have taken over lol
c/nudism approves this message
There was a summer long ago I regularly wore a Sari going to the bar. Do it for work would be a bit of a stretch.
I personally strongly prefer pants but I support those who don't want to wear them (as long as they're wearing a dress or something in public). At home though, you do you, whatever.
Swedish transit strikers and everyone else.
