Skirts or trousers?

Trousers or jeans 95% of the time. So much more comfortable than skirts.
But I do like a summer dress in hot weather or if going out somewhere nice.

I wear linen arty style tunics that come to my calf most of the time. So comfortable to wear in winter and summer. I am soon to hit 68. I do have a calf length beige skirt I wear with uniform polo shirt at work and jeans for when I am doing work on my boat home.

I've always loved trousers, jeans,shorts etc and haven't owned a skirt for at least 10 years. I wear what I want I'm a size 12 and look fine in both just prefer the freedom of trousers.

I wear mostly skirts now. I have a few that I made ages ago.
This is a good book -

Leggings /jeans with tunics in this weather with boots or brogues. Knee length dresses with bare legs and sandals in the summer or crops with a top. I’m tall so have to check hem lengths of dresses in the summer!

I seem to be living in thermal leggings and long tops/chunky knits these days. I do have a couple of skirts which I wear with thick tights and loose floral trousers and dresses for summer. I'm always cold so thin trousers in winter don't work for me and I don't like to wear tights under them. I love my jeans but they seem to have shrunk since I got fatter

If I had a car I would probably wear skirts more often. But if you have to stand at windy bus stops, and walk into freezing wind, then skirts are impractical.

Mainly I wear jeans - straight leg, dark navy, with ankle boots. I have noticed that there are very few simple Aline skirts in the shops. They all have frilly bits, or uneven hem lines that hang below your coat and look silly.

I don't own any skirts.

I have unsightly veins in one leg so wear trousers all the time or jeans. I keep thinking I could wear a skirt and thick tights in the winter but never seem to get round to it. I never wear shorts or a swimsuit now.

Don’t know where those two little ladies came from.

I don’t own a dress or a skirt. I wear jeans and trousers with elastic waists. I need to get to the loo quickly and don’t always have time to faff about with zips and buttons.?‍♂️?

I still have a couple of skirts but as I am short and fat I don't like the look of the way they hang. I call it the "pillar box" effect, as it makes you look cylindrical - the skirt goes over the tum and then hangs down miles in front of your knees. Trousers with a wide, long, loose blouse over them is the only way I can camouflage it.

I will be 70 soon (what?!) and I don’t own a skirt. I wear jeans and trousers, but mostly I wear dresses- with thick tights or leggings in winter, and bare legs in spring/ summer. I wear longer dresses in summer, to about mid- calf. I don’t wear heels any more- it’s flat ankle boots, trainers or pumps. I like Toast and Cos for dresses, and Whistles for jeans. Inspired by Villanelle’s Dreis van Noten trouser suit in, er, “Villanelle”, I bought a bright blue trouser suit from M&S, and I have a linen one for the summer. I’m a 14/16 and 5’7”, so no sylph, but I love clothes!

I rarely wear skirts . For choir concerts if its warm .
Trousers of whatever sort are easier.

I live in jeans mainly. I do however envy the Asian grannies I see on the school pick up in summer. Those lovely loose trousers and long tops look so colourful, cool and elegant.

I wear dresses to work with opaque tights in winter none in summer. Rest of the week it’s jeggings and tops socks and boots. A mixture of dresses skirts cropped trousers or shorts in summer although only wear shorts on the beach or in the garden. I am quite tall and have slim legs so feel I can wear what I want . I’m nearly 66

I’m afraid I gave up skirts when I retired from work. Skirts and dresses are a problem for me because I am short and hate anything too long. I do have a couple lurking in my wardrobe, and haven’t worn them for ages but, on a whim, I actually bought a nice summer skirt last year then never seemed to have the opportunity to wear it. For me it is slim leg jeans, trousers and crops.

It's straight leg geans or cords for me most of the time.
In warmer weather knee length shorts or cropped trousers.
When it is hot I wear knee length dresses.
I have a few skirts but rarely wear them now. Before I retired I always wore skirts to work.

Being a large pear with short legs sadly I look ridiculous in trousers, although I would love to wear them.
Skirts and tops for me, never dresses or tights unless it's a posh do.

I wear leggings and Seasalt/Boden tunics a lot. Otherwise tight jeans. I have a few nice dresses which I wear when the opportunity arises, which isn't often. I love dresses. And pretty long summer skirts.

Really don’t like skirts or dresses. That awful bunched up feeling with tights, underskirt etc. Have lived in jeans or trousers for years. Last time I wore a skirt would have been at work about 18 years ago. Even then it would be a long floaty one, the type that got stuck under the chair wheels. Last time I wore a dress was at DD2’s wedding about 8 years ago. That only lasted the daytime.

I find trousers more practical. I spend a lot of time on the floor...sounds funny but I prefer to sit on the floor, and I have to get down on the floor to clean my pets cages. In warm weather, I find skirts cooler, but strip to my knickers to clean up (no-one can see). I hate the 'bare-leg' look so, much as I would like to wear a pretty dress when out, I wouldn't wear it without tights, which are very uncomfortable.

Funny you should ask

I never wear trousers but recently tried to find a plain, A-line skirt. Not one of the many outlets online or in the large city an hour away, had a single skirt of that type.

Plenty of very short pelmets, hanky hems for the young and those who like them but not one single skirt.

The two major department stores actually had no skirts at all!
But heaps of jeans and trousers.

My elders' group is Maori and you are simply not allowed on a Marae for any official occasion if you are wearing trousers.

In fact, there is often a store of spare skirts kept by at the Marae to put on over trousers should someone be called on unexpectedly.

Nor is it regarded as respectable for Pasifika ladies, or older Indian ladies, to wear trousers.

So would you not think the stores would reflect that need?

I have long and knee-length dresses, knee-length skirts, cut-off shorts, jeans – and I wear them. Why not? I do have some rather shorter shorts which I wear only when I am gardening in privacy on very hot days. I have considered wearing them on the beach, but haven't been there this summer.

Always trousers - I don't possess a skirt or a dress. I'm a larger girl and I find that skirts are unflattering - they "cut me in the middle" and make me look larger. I prefer slim cut trousers with a looser-cut top.
