do you wear men's shorts?

[jacques]

hello all,
do you wear men's short trousers?
this may seem to be a strange question for crossdressers, but please let me explain. I was wondering why I don't wear skirts or women's shorts out of the house. Was it because I prefer to remain in the closet and don't have the courage? Eventually I had the thought that I don't wear men's shorts in public - could that be the real answer to my questions - I don't bare my legs in public ever!
luv J
p.s. sorry if I confused people outside the UK where "shorts" might be the name for underwear

I will wear shorts for the next six months. Some are men's, some are women's that look like men's and others are pure woman.

As I'm closeted, I generally don't leave the house wearing ANY type of female attire, jewelry, make up, well nothing. Occasionally I will just strip down to female underwear and put on male over clothes to take the garbage out or answer the door for the delivery man, but that's about it. I just change back as soon as I come back in.

If you mean do I wear women's panties normally when I go out dressed as a male, no. I wear men's briefs.

Tracy, it would be best to pee before putting on any shorts.

Every chance I get. I hate long pants. Would love to move some place warm.

[Laurana]

No. From my short shorts t my knee length shorts they are all girls.

I very seldom wear shorts when out&about as it is not usually warm enough [we like summer in the UK, it's the best day of the year ] but when i do it is female short shorts.
I just don't like the longer, baggy style mens shorts that seem to be popular these days - being short & skinny they just look wrong on me somehow.
It's the only time i openly wear anything fem in public (usually just underdressing) although i do get a few sniggers from people. However my wife says i look great in them, so that's good enough for me.

I do wear shorts a lot in the summer and sense I'm not out they are men's but usually my panties are the undies. If I'm at the lake or lake cabin fishing it's always shorts.

I wear men's shorts outside the house whenever the temperature gets over 50 F. I have peripheral neuropathy and do not feel the cold on my legs at all. Drives my wife crazy when we're at the beach and it gets cooler.

[Queen Bridget]

I haven't worn shorts since my final PE class in 1997.

They just don't suit me. Plus I don't want people knowing I shave my legs.

[banzini]

I'll switch between both - men's bermuda shorts and ladies running shorts. Really just depends on the mood, weather and activity.

[Steph_CD_62]

I don't wear shorts at all, not men's not women's!
I have skinny WHITE legs and I don't feel comfortable wearing shorts in public.

[Rayleen]

I would wear men's short when golfing and women's short around the house in the back yard.

[Rollermiss]

Interesting to see that some don't wear shorts at all. No big deal. For me I do wear female shorts. Come to think of it. It is the only type I have.

I have't worn shorts since I was at school back in the 70s, never liked them. Even when dressed I never go bare legged, though I have some very sheer tights.

[Richelle423]

Only women’s shorts. I have also cut capris into shorts.

[2B Natasha]

Hello J

I do wear men’s shorts out as soon as the temp is above 60. I don’t where women’s shorts out much. I find the cut all
Wrong. Either they’re way to short or just not a style I like. If I ever found some that fit my style I would. WHAT I do wear out of the house quite often are capris. Love’m. Occasionally I’ll wear a skirt with whatever. I guess I tend to wear whatever I feel the weather and place call for.

Cheers

i wear mens shorts and womens shorts. i have super short shorts and spandex shorts. i don't wear spandex short out unless it's a friend date or whatever, but usually for a walk in the park, i also have capri running pants, and a lot of long and short spandex shorts. just i don't tuck so i don't wear them out. plus i know on the outside i look a little square up top so it's kind of weird. i've wore skirts to clubs, and dresses out. i can pull off a goodwill shopping or gas station fill up. everywhere else (not downtown areas where anything goes) people freak out, women always laugh - that's a good thread topic let me tell you! - but i don't feel comfortable in a skirt to my knees, only mini. not sure why. when my legs aren't smooth i wear thigh high socks and tiny shorts or a skirt out.

I live near the coast in SoCal. Can only wear shorts during our heat waves. (Mostly Fall and Winter). Get's chilly late afternoon. Even in Summer!

[TXSara]

I wear gym (running) shorts around the house and running errands around town. I rarely wear shorts if I'm going out anywhere, though. Almost always jeans or slacks.

[LeannS]

It is about that time of year again to bring out the shorts womens for the backyard stuff and mens for being on deck of the swimming pool officiating. I would try wearing women shorts on deck but the wife has no tolerance for me doing so.

[Tracii G]

No desire to wear mens shorts but there are occasions where I wear capri's (womens).
Not big into wearing really short shorts much these days but I have in the past.

[Asew]

I have several cargo shorts and running shorts, all men's. And I have no problem wearing them 24/7. I don't have much desire for women's shorts since I would rather wear an above the knee skirt instead. I have contemplated getting some women's running shorts years ago since very few men's running shorts come in my favorite color purple. But now I am really looking into getting a women's running skirt or kilt instead.

[Robertacd]

I wear both men's and women's shorts. I have a couple pairs of Levi's and Old Navy shorts that are woman's. I will even buy woman's jeans and cut them off into shorts.

I also have men's cargo shorts, and some convertible men's pants with zip off legs I wear too.

When in drab, I wear shorts almost exclusively from May to October. I started shaving my legs last spring with no repercussions. Before I retired I could even wear them to work. The corporate policy was that we could wear shorts if the temperature was above 85 degrees fahrenheit (29C). Our branch manager , who was a shorts person, interpreted that as "memorial day to labor day".
