I do like my shorts in the summer. I look and feel like a frump, but they are so cumfy. They are really good at stopping my thighs rubbing together and getting sore!! I wear linen ones on my hols or when I'm doing my countryside walking, wearing them is very handy when climbing over stiles. When at work or just out and about I wear 3/4 linen trousers. When wearing shorts or 3/4 trs my legs have to be brown otherwise they look very nasty on me!!
