Do you wear shorts or jeans? or both?

I know so many people that either wear shorts but never jeans.
Or they wear jeans, but never shorts.

I actually picture them weirdly if they wore what they never wore. But I do both and don't mind to do both.

When I ask people why they only wear one type, they say the other type makes them feel weird. It' crazy because I really don't care what I wear.

What do you wear and why?

When it's cold or I'm someplace that calls for it, I'm wearing jeans.

When it's hot and I'm someplace that allows for it, I'm wearing shorts.

When I'm at home:

I won't wear pants unless the temps get below 70f or I'm going to a nice restaurant or some place that requires pants.

For work, shorts year round, even though I live in Michigan. Long pants are for formal occasions and out and about in colder months only.

I like shorts and wear them all year

Love gym shorts and black cargo shorts

I like jeans but usually only wear if going out or it’s a cold day in Texas

At work in office I wear chinos

edit : someone smarter than me already pointed out the extreme fallacy of the conundrum.

Imo a better question would be :
"Jeans or sweatpants ?"

My answer would then be sweatpants but only at home for now. I did not yet manage to gather the courage to show up at work wearing them, but i finally managed to pass the public servant exam (A rank you guys :messenger_sunglasses: to get higher than that -rank A+ and then "hors classe" - you need to be full on autistic with your studies or have an uncle in politics and im provided with neither) so im pretty much unfirable now i could come to work in a tutu noone would say anything, but it just don't feel right...

Boxer shorts and jeans in winter.

Boxer shorts and shorts in the summer.

But never shorts and jeans at the same time. Madness.

I don't like jeans I'll wear Italian trousers in linen if I have to wear pants in the summer and I would rather die than wear gym shorts or cargo anything.

Currently wearing jeans because it’s cold. When it‘s hot, I wear nice shorts. When I go running or mow the lawn, I lose the shirt and wear cheap gym shorts.

Basically dress for the weather/occasion.

What a weird premise. It depends on the time of year + temperature? Doesn't everyone just dress according to the current weather?

In the Summer when it's 35 degrees C I'm wearing shorts. In the winter when it's 0 C I'm wearing jeans. But when it's 20 degrees in the Summer I'm wearing jeans.

All I ever wear are jeans or shorts. Haven't used any real pants or suits in years although I still own them

The people who wear one or the other are the weird ones. Ever notice that guy outside wearing shorts with snow on the ground? Uh, yeah...

Only exception I can think is if you live on the equator or something

That's weird - this is a temperature-dependent question. In part anyway. I can understand not wearing shorts - my brother thinks they look undignified and hey you do you - but you have to wear pants when it's cold... unless your climate permits it?

Anyway, shorts are fine for me in warmer months. I never wear jeans because I think they're uncomfortable. Sweat pants around the house and on whatever days and khakis otherwise. Imo a good pair of khakis floors jeans any day of the week.

In what bizzaro world are khakis and jeans the only pants that exist? Going by these comments it seems linen and wool doesn't exist where ever some of you live. I wear wool pants in the winter and linen pants in the summer when I'm not wearing shorts

This makes me want to rock some baggy jorts on top of some skinny jeans

Truly a gross, transgressive act

It depends on the weather, but I prefer shorts on most occasions.

My C & B's need the extra space and cooling.

For decades I wore Levis pretty exclusively, starting around 7th grade. About 10 years ago I bought a pair of cargo pants for some reason. More than one person gave me shit for it, because apparently cargo pants are the lamest thing ever or something? I had not gotten that memo. But at that point I stopped wearing jeans and switched to cargo pants out of pure bitter spite. My favorites are the really fugly urban camo.

At home, I wear gym shorts or cozy flannel pajama pants depending on the weather.
