I like girls who wear skirts because it is cute and not as slutty as they wear those tight pants, minishorts and trousers.
Of course, I wouldn't mind being Dammit (Vexx's cat) when it comes to girls wearing skirts......absolution of all blames. *runs*

I know what you mean. It can be frustrating to shop for clothing that fits a certain body frame. I am an Asian male and I wear the size small. But the American size small is sometimes bigger than I would like. Once in a while, I resort to buying clothes from YesStyle; their clothes are ridiculously expensive. T_T

Go inland about 10 miles and it will be over 80 more often. The valley is like that. (just over the Coastal Range inland, like say Walnut Creek or even Orinda for that matter.)
Those on the Bay itself get colder, to the point were the idea that it is colder in Summer in San Francisco than it is in Winter is not all that far from the truth.

My god I have this problem a lot too. I'm tall and rather skinny, so I tried out the small size jeans to find that they were too short and too tight in the crotch (), so I have to settle for a larger size that hardly fits my belt and without the belt would sag ridiculously.

The American clothing industry sizing is lying to their customers and inflating clothing sizes -- even the inch measurement clothing is lying more often.
My wife was a "size 4" dress and wore "size 6" shoes when we started dating in the 70s... she's now a "size 0-" dress and "size 4" shoe. She weighs about 5 more pounds than she did then. Functionally, she can no longer shop in the women's departments (even the misleading "Petites" section)... lately, even the Teen section is getting tough to find things in. Myself, I've started noticing that men's clothing are "inflating" as well... and as LeoXiao points out if you're slim and tall - it can be difficult. I'm not sure which annoys me more - my fellow "ever-expanding" customers or the failure of the clothing industry to give a fuck about anyone outside a narrow size range.

Sizes I usually don't have issue with. It's cuts and styles that I have issues with. Everything fitted tends to be skin-tight all around and my boobs disappear in non-fitted tees. The kind of top I look best in is fitted around the bust and empire-waisted, then loose and flowy beyond the tops of my jeans. These kind of tops break up the outline and create the illusion of curvature where none exists and just plain look better.
Unfortunately now everything is either loose everywhere (which doesn't look flattering on anything but the skinniest of girls) or tight everywhere (which, again, doesn't look flattering on me). I should be thankful that everything is actually long enough to not show bare midriff all the time... which just doesn't work when you're two years away from thirty. The eighteen year olds always win that battle.

There are plenty of guys out here in the Bay Area wearing t-shirts and shorts during the winter--granted it doesn't get really cold here.

The first thing came to my mind when first checking out this thread...
Pants are good for women when in need of flexibility and comfort in rough places. Skirts, however, makes women a lot more special in that they have an endless lot of possibilities for anything to go with a skirt -- socks, stockings, garters, high-heels, loafers, loose socks, and anklets.

Edit: I do wear pants more often than I wear skirts recently but this is largely because I'm lazy and I don't see a reason to wear anything that fancy/involved if I'm at home or in class all day. I usually do wear skirts/dresses/etc when I go out, and occasionally my lolita... which are all dresses, though. When it gets warmer I'll probably go barefoot/bare-legged and wear short skirts and tee shirts when at home to beat the heat. Even if the Bay Area doesn't get hot, my bedroom is like a greenhouse during the day...
