Did you manage the intended down-sizing?
I hated wearing shorts as a boy but in later years came to like them, although I don't have very many. I made some by cutting old trousers down but I do have a couple of proper ones, including a pair of blue PE shorts, respectable enough to wear in public.
My legs and feet though do feel the cold so I don't think I could go out in them year-round. Certainly not in the present chill. Much of Saturday night's snow, a rarity on the Southern English coast, has thawed but there are now likely to be dangerous ice patches everywhere.

@strictshorts Oh, we moved from Hampshire more than sixty years ago, when I was seven! (Dad's work was moved.)

I love in Arizona and wear shorts year round, just like my friend from Florida. I'm retired and after I did, I too downsized my wardrobe. I have 2 pair of jeans, and 2 pair of long trousers, all the rest of my pantaloons are shorts!

@Pauly Well funny you should talk about retirement as I have just taken early retirement at 58. I am a fairly fit 58, going running and other exercise. Also enjoy YOGA-am a qualified teacher. So am reasonably trim and certainly look fine in short trousers. So wear them as much as possible. I am not that bothered about the length-anything from above the knee to very short in the case of some of my denim shorts, though not ridiculously short or tight. Bum showing is not a good look.
It is a bit harder in the UK to wear shorts right through the year, though I am going to give it a good go. So far it has been four months entirely in short trousers. The postmen and ladies wear shorts when there is snow on the ground.
