Search Results: styles of pants

This may sound like an extremely silly question, but despite having grown up in Orlando (Florida, USA) where it's hot as fuck, I grew up in an extremely conservative family, who believed showing skin was disrespecting oneself. We weren't Muslim or anything, but we just always wore long sleeves and long pants, nothing relatively low-cut... basically, all we showed was our face and hands.

My parents still follow these customs, my older sister doesn't, my younger brother doesn't, and I still personally do. I just always thought longer clothes looked more sophisticated and professional.

So I don't know how it feels to wear shorts. And I never gave it much thought, till I met my girlfriend, who wears in every season except winter, since Orlando is hot as fuck.

I look at her, and compare her style to myself. Her legs are completely bare, except for the upper thighs, where her tiny shorts start (no butt cheek, but a lot of leg), while my legs are completely covered.

Sometimes she asks me to feel her legs after having had shaved, and they are so soft and smooth... how can such delicate legs be almost constantly exposed?

She also one day asked me how I can live in Orlando and never wear shorts, and I just explained I came from a conservative family, and she said, "Ah, that's understandable, sweetie. But it's never too late to change, tehe. Plus, in this type of weather, with the exception of winter, shorts are a million times more comfortable than long pants."

Is my girlfriend right? Are shorts really that comfortable? I imagine it must be pretty weird to wander into public with bare knees and thighs... especially on public seats... and what if two people's legs touch when they're wearing shorts and sitting close together...

But I also never tried it wearing shorts, so... I'm here asking for your opinion.

So a lot of my girlfriend's outfits, though they don't really show anything inappropriate (no boobs spilling out, no butt cheeks), it's still a lot of skin. She still very often shows her legs in shorts that cover her butt but offer no leg coverage, she often shows her stomach, she often shows her back, she often shows her feet, she often shows her shoulders, and she often shows a bit of cleavage (only a bit, but it's there).

And to the gym, she wears shorts of the same length, a sports bra, and a sheer shirt... the sheer shirt doesn't really cover anything, it's just so her bare skin and sweat doesn't get directly on the equipment. And she takes it off on the threadmill, or when she's just gonna be running around her neighborhood. And to the beach... she wears a regular bikini. It shows a bit of cleavage, but not a lot. And the bottoms are a bit cheeky, but not over the top.

Even her most modest outfits... a regular blouse, and long pants... the long blouse never completely covers her stomach. It shows a bit, and if she lifts her arms, her belly button shows.

And unless it's a professional occasion, my girlfriend doesn't modify the way she dresses around children or her elders. Like with her much younger relatives who are children, she just has fun with them and plays with them in her regular crop top and short shorts. And when meeting my parents, she dressed the same way, and was very respectful to them. Her attitude changes to be appropriate, but not her clothing.

We live somewhere hot, Orlando Florida... and I've always been rather prude. Plus, she doesn't actually ever do anything dirty. So maybe there's no problem in the first place. But I can't help but be curious. I've associated skin with being promiscuous, but it's not exactly true.

When I personally told her about it, she just laughed and said she never even thought about it. She said it was just the style she found the cutest and most comfy.

It seems as those as the thong becomes more unpopular girls are just wearing normal bikinis or cheekies with their yoga pants and leaving enormous pantie lines!

I understand it’s more comfortable, but it draws more attention

So your partner can change you in many ways... but what we're talking about here in specific, is the way you dress.

My girlfriend sure did change the way I dress... in the way that's option 3 on the poll.

So before, basically, I used to be a bit too prude and conservative. I wouldn't ever wear shorts even if it was 100 degrees out and I was gonna spend a lot of time outside, I wouldn't take my shirt off at the beach, etc.

And be aware, this is in Orlando, fuckin', Florida... the literal Sunshine State. Even in the summer!

And my girlfriend didn't say anything the first couple of times, but one day she said, "Sweetie, I know that a more modest style is more-so your thing, and I totally respect you for it... but I imagine that long pants and a shirt on at the beach when in a Florida summer is just so damn uncomfortable! I certainly could never do it. I don't like to force you to do anything, but please try wearing shorts, or taking your shirt off at the beach at least once, and see if you like it. There's nothing wrong with showing your legs or taking your shirt off at the appropriate setting."

And so I did just as she said... and boy, I've never felt better!


Actually dressing cool for when it was hot out and we were gonna spend a lot of time out just felt so free and relaxing! And sorry if this is too much information, but it felt nice to actually hug my girlfriend in her bikini, and actually feel her skin against mine, rather than just feeling her on my shirt. And rubbing my bare knees against hers feels nice, too.

I still retained my more modest long sleeve and long pants style, for most of the time... but when we're actually gonna spend time outside, it's only shorts from now on! And at the beach, shirts are a no-go for me! Much more comfortable!
