Some people don't like the way their legs look in shorts, or for some reason or another find longer pants more comfortable. Some might be cold-blooded and feel fine in hot weather in long pants.
I like to wear shorts in the summer as well, but I am also a horseback rider and we cannot wear shorts while riding, so I wear riding breeches, which of course are long and can be very hot in the summer. It is either that or getting your legs rubbed raw by stirrup leathers, though! That is the only time I wear long pants in the summer, though.
It’s pretty weird how many people assume it’s insecurity
Guys rarely wear shorts and no one assumes” oh he doesn’t like his legs ”
There are reasons to keep let’s covered in summer
- tic borne illnesses are on the rise
Rashes
Mosquitos
Sun burning
Many jobs require long pants
I never see someone in pants and assume- oh insecurity.
You can be dressed half naked and hate your body. Clothing doesn’t tell anyone about a persons psychological disposition.
The right leggings will ventilate very well, so the heat shouldn't be a problem. And I like them because they protect me from sunburns. But I also like dresses too much not to wear them. Leggings for me are just for when I don't have time to put on a ridiculous amount of sunscreen.
I wouldn't be surprised if chafing was also a reason for a lot of people. I have a thigh gap, so I don't have that problem. But I know that it bothers a lot of people during the summer.
Comfortable, me personally. I just wear them a lot because U simply like wearing stuff I can move and do stuff in that will protect my legs.
Don't really want to ride horses or play paintball with some shirts on. But I'll wear a dress or shorts at a festival, theme park, or pool.
Man I don't mind at all, I'm glad leggings were invented, some of these girls be looking hot af, and sometimes you can see through it a little bit like Lord and saviour don't let me commit any sins today
The leggings and jeans are generally made from lighter materials, and the fact that they are tight actually reduces the amount of heat that gets trapped against the wearer's body.

I don't get hot when I wear jeans. In order for me to get hot, I would have to be wearing too many layers from the waist up
There are many leggings that are actually breathable which is not as hot as you looking.
And jeans is fine, I can wear that in summer with no problem.
I wear jeans and leggings in the summer and I live in south TX. It doesn’t bother me and I’m not overly hot unless I’m outside for a long period of time. I guess I’m just used to it
There was a time when I was too insecure to wear shorts so that’s why I wore long pants all the time. I don't know why but overheating was never really an issue for me.
I understand wearing leggings since it is a very thin fabric but jeans? Yikes lol but it is probably cause they haven't shaved their legs or insecure about them. Or maybe they just don't have any shorts lol
I mostly wear jeans and like pants. I barely wear shorts and skirts.
I love to wear shorts as well but this morning i wore a pair of vinyl leggings and surprisingly they weren't as hot as I expected
I wear cut up jeans. I'm insecure about my legs. I have weird looking kneecaps and people make fun of it.
I love to wear leggings, even at summer somtimes I wear leather leggings
Insecurity, they prefer the look of them, comfort, or they're easily cold.
I'm pale as fuck so I am doing you a favor lol. The light reflects off my legs.
Insecure about their legs. Care more about hiding flaws than about getting heat stroke
Some of them are really light weight and breathable. I wear long sleeve fishing shirts to work because they protect my skin and keep me cool.
Because the fabric is very light and not so sweaty
But i however wear skirts mostly
i think shorts look better so i wear those in the winter
High tolerance for heat I dont now
Lol I wear leggings all year round they keep you cool and warm
I hate shorts so I either wear leggings or dresses
Because they can and leggings can be breathable
- Hair
- Insecurity
- Because they want to
