I prefer skorts if they're short because I'd rather be able to climb trees or do whatever without flashing the whole world. And not all of them are terrible. I mean, I have some really cute denim ones and you'd never be able to tell.

Anyway, my favourite item of leg clothing is cargos (shorts or long) regardless of the current style because pockets! I don't care how cute a purse is, I'm going to forget it somewhere and then lose my wallet and cell and everything. I've found it's much harder to forget my pants.
