Yeah, fuck comfortable clothes! I wanna be uncomfortably hot when I'm at the beach, biking, running, hanging out in the summer, or exercising in any capacity!
Long pants and sleeves are often as good if not better at maintaining a nice body temperature than their short equivalents. When I hike or travel, my usual kit is a pair of Kuhl 35/65 synthetic:cotton pants, which wick sweat and cool like no other but stay nice and toasty in the cold, along with a linen shirt, which does the same.
Also, boots and Smartwool or Coolmax socks with offset seams.
I feel terribly uncomfortable wearing shorts. Kilts/skirts, fine. Proper pants, fine. Naked, no worries. Shorts? No, thankyou.
I only wear shorts when I'm in Georgia in the summer because it's too fucking hot and humid to wear pants. Otherwise, fuck shorts.
I live in a city which not only in a Humid subtropical climate, but is both right on a river, and right near the sea. Our average humidity in the winter is still well above 50%. Summertime, it's more like 70%, and averaging in the mid 80s to low 90s for Fahrenheit temperature. And yet, Long pants, year round. You get used to it. Drinking a lot of fluid helps, though generally I drink hot tea.
Otherwise, fuck shorts.

When I'm on the beach, if I'm just chilling out on the beach or swimming, I'll just wear boardshorts(though, often longer ones) Or a sarong, unless I'm only on the actual beach briefly - and that's mostly because getting sand up your pants legs is annoying. If I'm surfing, it's boardshorts, or a pair of rashgard pants if the water is cold - but around the time of year I'm surfing, the water is usually blood-warm. But when I'm not doing those things, regular pants.
Guess I'm just made of sterner stuff, Rym. Though, admittedly, some might say if you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
I hate wearing shorts mainly because people who wear shorts look like dorks. Doesn't matter who they are, what kind of shorts they are, or why they are wearing them, people in shorts look silly. Pick one; either you are wearing pants, or you aren't. Shorts are what happens when you try to have it both ways, and that is unacceptable.

By the same token, people wearing long pants on a hot sunny day at the boardwalk or an amusement park are in my experience almost entirely of two varieties.
1. Those guys who always wear black jeans with a black T-shirt no matter where they go (usually including chained wallet). 2. Old awkward guys in khakis
The pantsed-people look way dorkier than the short-wearers. They're the exception, not the rule, and they stand out. (Though, to be fair, the old guys in bermuda shorts are dorks).

This is the odd quarks thread.
Another odd thing, when I get a starbucks coffee (or similar drink) I need to turn the lid so the seam on the paper cup is on the other side compared to where I'm drinking from.

I need protection from that horrible glowing thing in the sky, and would be identifiably "dorky" with or without pants. I also have no problem sleeping in a coffin.

I actually rocked long sleeve, but light weight and color cotton shirts this summer and found it just as comfortable, if not more than short sleeves. I hate wearing sun screen, so this works for me.
I will point out that I only have this problem with shorts specifically, which is what makes it an odd quirk. As I said before, I'll wear a kilt or anything else no problem. I just don't like shorts.
I have to use long trousers necessarily because not only do I live in a city that's 8640 ft above sea level, and is cold as hell, but because I have a skin condition. Not nice.
