Skirts or trousers?

mainly cut and flare dresses/skirts just above knee length. Opaque tights are my friends and cover a multitude of sins. When not in these jeggings/jeans/leggings for casual. Never formal trousers as I find the shorter skirts with opaque tights more flattering.

Usually wear tight jeans, never tights unless I wear one of my few dresses in the evenings. I too have long slim legs although not as slim round the middle now as I used to be!

Slim cut jeans and boots in cold weather. Dresses in the heat. Mid to maxi length, as I'm tall enough to wear longer styles if I like.
I say wear whatever you're happy in!

I dislike wearing trousers but they are so practical that I Wear them more often than I would like to. I have always felt sorry for men that we can have the choice but it never became the norm for them to have the choice. Isn't it funny but i guess it was always that women were trying to do what men were allowed but not the other way round.

I don’t own or wear any skirts or dresses, jeans jeggins or leggins with long tops I m like Monica, long slim legs, actually one of my good points but they never get shown well in summer crop jeans or long knee length shorts is the nearest my legs get to feel the air

I have one skirt which I wear, very infrequently, for work. I'm always anxious about catching my heel in the hem of the skirt and tripping up, or falling down stairs when I wear it. So I wear trousers 99% of the time.

I wear skirts or trousers, depending on how I feel on the day. (Fat, usually!)

Tights for sure, I feel cold otherwise, with trousers, never jeans, skirts very occasionally.

I hardly ever wear skirts or dresses. Apart if we go on holiday to somewhere hot, or if we have especially hot weather here.

I'm quite short and I think trousers look better on me.

Jeans mostly in Winter shorts, skirts and dresses in Summer most friends seem to wear trousers I’m 70 by the way.

I live in tights, I would freeze to death without them. Long slim legs were something I was always vain about and they still look good so jeggings and slim leg jeans, but I also wear dresses for variety, mainly smock style coming just to the knee. I cannot bear draggly skirts flapping around my calves, they slow me down and impede my stride.

I wear trousers and I'm a larger lady who feels the cold. I do wear dresses when going out though for dinner.

I never wear trousers, being larger size I don't think they look good on me.
Mid calf length skirts, usually bare legged and only wear the evil tights on rare occasions.

Too damn cold for skirts ! I have circulatory problems as do many others as they age so keeping warm is a must.
Trousers and not jeans for me.

I wear trousers , most of my friends wear skirts , I am 80+ wink

Is it me?
Most of my friends of my age (66) all say nobody of our age wear skirts any more, and most don't own one.
I wear trousers but prefer a nice knee length skirt, tights and ankle boots. Feels much more feminine than trousers or jeans.
