Is Your Summer Choice Shorts, Capri Pants Or Regular Pants, and Those Awful Self Tanners

[Lee]

I gave up on the short shorts years ago and now opt for capris or skinny pants.

Forget the self tan, too much work and never have had good results.

 

[Butterfly]

Shorts (not short shorts) around the house. Capris when I go out.

 

[RadishRose]

Capris or jeans. I stopped tanning many years ago.

 

[Sliverfox]

Being red head,, all I got were freckles or painful sun burns.

Walking shorts hit me at knee or little below knee.
What I wear when out & about,, depends on weather & what we plan on doing.

For ATVing its jeans, hiking shoes & light long sleeved shirt,, hat of some sort.

I wear shorts in summer when its warm,capri pants on days when temps are below 65,
When I start my summer tan,always wear sun screen usually sit in sun for 45 min,then sit in the shade

I wear shorts, capri pants or skirts. I wear them all the time, not just in the summer. I don't really think about tanning, but I do tan during summer because I am outside a lot.

I have never worn self tan, it very rarely looks good on anyone and I can always tell when someone's wearing it, so I've never used it...

In summer I wear dresses, ( I have a dress on today) .. shorts (knee length).. or ankle grazers.. I never wear capris, they make a short person look even shorter

I mostly wear bermuda shorts or capris year-round. I don't use self-tanner but I do get plenty of sunshine and have a natural tan with olive skin. We have a pool so I'm out there a lot, too.

I start wearing shorts right about now, and I continue wearing shorts until September, providing it remains sunny and warm. As for occasions when I have to wear pants, slacks it is (always). Slacks fit me so well and are so comfy.

I'm pear-shaped, and jeans just don't fit, and aside from fit, I find jeans uncomfortable. With jeans, if the waist fits me, the legs and butt don't fit (too small), if I find a pair of jeans that can accommodate my butt and legs, the waist is way too big.

No artificial tanning creams and lotions for me. I have an olive complexion and tan dark, but don't like to expose my skin to a lot of sun, so whatever I get when out gardening, is the colour I wear during the season.

 

[MarciKS]

Regular pants. I don't think everyone around me needs to be blinded by the light.

 

[Capt Lightning]

I'm a bit prone to get sunburned so I tend to keep fairly well covered. This is not often a problem in Scotland, but I've been caught out a few times on holiday. The last place I got a touch of sunburn was on the Arctic circle in Finland ! Mrs L and I had gone to see Santa Claus in his summer quarters in Rovaniemi. It was 32 C (90 F) in late Spring.

 

[MarciKS]

Yeah that's another thing I don't do. Tan. Unless you like viewing lobster.

 

[CarolfromTX]

Either capris or shorts. And sandals. I wear sandals, rarely shoes, from late March to November.

 

[Sassycakes]

I prefer capris over shorts and I am fair skinned so I don't tan well.

 

[jujube]

Well, here in Florida, for me it's shorts year round unless the wind chill factor gets under 75 and then I switch to jeans.

My legs are always tanned,at least what shows.

Shorts at home, jeans or capris out. I do use Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs light tone to knock back the bright white a bit. It's not a self-tanner. More of a leg 'makeup' that won't streak and doesn't smell.

Capri leggings, usually .. or regular capris. I tan too easily, and tend to stay out of the sun from when I was much younger.

 

[PopsnTuff]

Sun dresses or capris with a loose blouse for me.....I tan very easy just walking outside....

 

[Lashann]

I prefer capris or lightweight casual pants in the summer. I find them comfortable to wear plus they keep me cool enough.

Me, Either. I just burn and peel, burn and peel. As a teenager, I got a very bad sunburn which almost landed me in the hospital with great huge weeping blisters and dehydration. SO, ever since my early 20s, sunscreen has been my best friend.

Shorts on women can look great but not always as I've noticed during our morning walks in the park.

Really fit college cross country women's track team running in those tiny booty shorts OK.

300 lb. women walking in that side to side motion they seem to have plus killing several spandex animals to make booty shorts large enough to fit her not so much. But credit is due for doing something for her health.

It's about what a woman perceives looks good on her that matters.

Sorry, but that same comparison applies to MEN as well.

 

[Wren]

I wear white linen capris sometimes in summer but find any kind of pants uncomfortable in the heat so mainly wear light skirts with a vest/strappy top or summer dresses

Being olive skinned I tan easily so may use a touch of self tan to start then to keep it going for a while when summer ends, I use a gel mixing it with a little body lotion for an even coverage

Annie, this sounds like something I might try if I can get it in Canada, going to look. Thinking long summer dress with a slit for the leg to pose in.

 

[Aneeda72]

Shorts that go below the knees, Capri pants, or bell bottom long pants. Can’t wear any type of jean, they hurt my sore knees
