Why do (some) women wear pants/trousers in hot weather?

baffledguy
My wife insists on wearing a skirt to work in hot weather. One of her reasons is that "all women" do so. However, according to my observations (in the street during the day on weekdays), at least 75% of adult females are still wearing pants even though the weather is hot.

My question is, if you're a woman who works in an office and you wear pants to work even in hot weather, why do you do it?

Thanks for all the answers so far. I think that wearing a skirt in public is clearly a bad idea, but my wife thinks that nobody else thinks as I do. Therefore, it's really useful to get female views on this.

OK, here are the results. 34 answers from girls so far, but only 25 of them suggested reasons for wearing pants at work (excluding "too cold", because I was asking about hot weather). Of these 25:


5 said pants are more practical for avoiding work dangers or mosquito bites, etc.

8 said because they haven't shaved or have mosquito bites, etc. on legs.

10 said because they don't look good in a skirt.

9 said to avoid "exposing too much".
