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.

Since I wrote this, I have taken early retirement. This means I wear shorts all the time. Maybe not as short as university. Usually about a 5 inch inside leg. However I do also wear my short denim shorts when I can get away with it. Which is more then you can imagine.

@strictshorts interesting reading, and good to read you are now 'exclusively' a shorts man. I must assume you have good legs so able to 'carry off' the look lol. I confess to liking to see a man wearing shorts. 👍

Well yes I am a shorts man. I do not want to be vain but yes I do Yoga, go running, go to the gym etc, so do have reasonable legs not something I have really thought about. I tend to wear rugby style shorts from cotton traders as normal wear and shorter denim shorts when I can get away with it (Also a lot of sports shorts). Another thing is that wearing shorts all the time gives my legs a tan which helps.

The main reason I wear shorts is that they feel comfortable to me, also I try not to be to fanatical so if it is ridiculously cold I might wear some track trousers. Mind you thinking back to when I was nine or ten years old I can remember walking to school in my school shorts in the snow (In those days most boys my age were the same).
