I Like To Wear Shorts In The Winter

I went to university as a mature student (28) and usually cycled from my digs. It is safe to say that apart from presenting research papers at conferences I wore shorts. My shorts were very brief denim ones bought from Millets plus some slightly more "respectable shorts" for the evening etc. I did a lot of sports as well. Apart from very odd times when I was forced to wear long trousers I wore my very short denim shorts all the time winter and summer as I did a few years previously as a boy. It was great and I still like wearing shorts as much as I possibly can.

I would add this went right through to my PhD as a mature student in my thirties. So I almost had a second boyhood, staying virtually all the time in very short denim shorts for about 10 years.

I used to cycle to college on my mountain bike so cycled 16 miles every day and further afield over the weekend always in my shorts (Mainly cycling to indian takeaways). When I started I thought maybe I should change when I got to college but decided not to bother since my shorts were very comfortable to wear. I did get some looks as by the-time I was finishing my PhD the fashion for short shorts was ending-not that I cared tuppence.
