wearing shorts in winter

hi, i love wearing shorts and 3/4s with a T-shirt and i'm not the kind that feels cold easily. is it ok to wear them to parties in winter? or will people just think i'm strange.

thanks. oh, merry christmas, by the way.

honestly... they might do... i guess it depends on the kind of party

if everybody else is dressed nicely... i'd expect they would think you were a bit odd :P

but if you like wearing them then go ahead... the worst that can happen is people giving you odd looks :smile:

Hmmm I'm all for wearing shorts in winter - I got an award this year for wearing the tiniest pair of shorts in existence in sub zero conditions :biggrin:

(they were actually my pajamas - long story but i had been wearing regular shorts to lectures all term) but to a party??? Not sure...

I went to a very stuffy posh Christmas ball on Thursday, and one girl showed up in black shorts, stilettos and a black sheer top.

Now she would have looked really cool if she had been in a club or bar (nothing wrong there, its only like wearing a skirt!) but the older wives spent to evening loudly discussing her inappropriate outfit.

I did agree she had dressed inappropriately, but thats no reason to bitch about her for it!! So I got chatting to her, we had lots of nice wine and danced inappropriately as well. :p:

My Christmas message - each to their own! :cool:

You kidding? I'd freeze in shorts. Hell, I freeze even with my Russian style garb on (trenchcoat, hat etc).

I'm guessing you are talking about dressy shorts, and not football shorts? If so then they are totally appropriate for parties over Christmas as they are fashionable. If you are talking about football shorts, then maybe you will get some strange looks off people!

Edit: I have just realised you are male - hmmm - totally different perspective now as I'm not sure male shorts are in fashion at the minute and maybe you were talking about football shorts. :confused:

Lol, ok so you love your legs - but does everyone else love your legs? :biggrin:

Anyway, i think your own advice is the best - keep the shorts for summer - or even spring if you that desperate to show off you legs! But just wear your jeans for your parties.

the only time i swear shorts in this kinda weather is when im dossing around in boardshorts and flipflops and need to go outside for a few mins, like at uni - trips to the garage etc.

I live in Lapland and work as a coach guide with British tourists that come to see Lapland and Santa for a couple of days. The day before yesterday when I was picking up a group of tourists from the airport I saw one most probably British tourist who was wearing shorts when he arrived! It was -20 Celsius degrees :eek:

Apparently he hadn't been doing much background research on Finnish climate :rolleyes:

I myself was wearing three layers of clothes under my winter overalls and my elf costume :biggrin:
