Dress because i like that most.
Skirt because you can combine it more.

skirts.

I chose dresses because I need to work on toning my legs more. I use to wear skirts all the time.

Skirts, a couple of inches above my knees.

In the summer time I wear dresses mostly. In the winter I usually go with skirts because I can wear them with sweaters and long sleeves. I wear all kinds of lengths from mid thigh to ankle and enjoy them all. My favorite dresses are full skirted sundresses and I have two long silk Sari's

skirts

skirts by far when I'm working, at home, out shopping, they're just so me :)

Jeans for myself...but a girl in a tight dress or skirt... :icon_dribble:

skirts for me. You can accessorize a skirt with many tops. You can't do that with a dress. I only wear a dress to a formal event and only have one...compared to about 14 skirts and 5 jeans.

Dresses are great in summer, but it's easier to add warm layers to a skirt in winter. 

I'm still struggling to deal with chest/tummy hair (can't wait for hrt!), so dresses mean that I won't accidentally show everyone my stubbly/spotty midriff. 

Skirts, the shorter the better, for me as my avatar shows, don't have any dresses. Although I have looked at some and they don't do anything for me.

D All of the Above.... I probably have like 20 jeans, 7 dresses , 16 skirts, 9 capri, and 8 shorts....

I agree with BlonT. I like both dresses and skirts, both the same.

Ooh clothes!!!
I like short skirts for clubbing and generally trying to attract
Men lol
I loove one piece dresses half way to knee ;)
Jeans are nice also..  so are nice business types of slacks
That are right in the waist and straight down to only show ypie ass
Luuvs them lol

I vote dresses, but its a hard one to answer. What I wear will depend on the occasion. If it's a formal thin it will always be a dress. If its day to day skirts or Jeans.

Skirts due to fit.  By getting a dress that accommodates my shoulders, the hip area often doesn't work out.  I do have one dress I like though. It was reported to run large so I went with it and it worked ok on me.

I have never even worn a dress. I do like skirts quite a bit but, living in the Pacific Northwest I find it so much easier and more practical to just wear jeans most of the time.

I have no real preference between the three - depends on the mood and occasion... though it's difficult to find jeans that flatter me. Dresses, on the other hand, work well since I am very thin at the waist - and if I find a dress that plays to my waist it helps create an hourglass illusion.

 Skirts

Just love skirts, mix and match tops, I have a whole lot wear almost nothing but skirts, have two skorts , don't even have any slacks or jeans.

I didn't vote for any as love wearing any kind of women's clothes. Although when younger I preferred wearing Jumpers

Now that's the kind of selection I need! I got 2 jeans, 3 shorts, 2 capri, 2 dresses...the rest are tops (not much to choose from).

I wear jeans mostly in the winter, shorts almost entirely in the summer, dresses and other stuff whenever.

I suspect I don't insult you to say that's a typical woman's response, I think. It often seems that for most women these days dresses are for special occasions, which is certainly the case for me. Sometimes I think the whole skinny jeans idea was created with me in mind. However it just turned the time of year I start wearing shorts until about September.

~ Lyric ~

I wear skirts 94% of the time, dresses around 3% of the time and work clothes around 3% of the time. As a farm owner, sometimes pants are more useful for certain chores.

I prefer sleeveless or halter type form fitting sun dresses with a mini hem that show off my legs. Even at 49 they're my best feature, and they're very comfortable and cool in our Florida sun. I do also like shorts and short skirts coupled with a sleeveless tank or halter type top as well. But the sun dresses are my favorites.

Ally :icon_flower:

Definately skirts halfway from the knee up or shorter since my legs are the one thing I am most confident about being female. Plus highheels and what they can do with a short skirt and the booty and calves.

The first year i was "out" skirts and dresses were all I would wear.  I love how they feel and wanted to get as far from boy clothes as possible.  I am more relaxed and pragmatic now and enjoy capris, jeans and what the occasion calls for.  I ruined a few leggings by working outdoors in them and now i am OK putting on some rough neck outfits to run the tractor or do other work.  Do clothes really make the man or woman?  Our image and presentation can be huge but being real to ourselves is paramount IMO.

I love my legs :P I have sooooo many skirts,

I'm not a fussy choosing from jeans (I suppose its the comfort zone lol)
But I love having my legs out I spend far too much time trying all sorts of combo's in the mirror to find one I'm happy with.
Once I find a combo I like im comfatable with it but, I like to switch things up. So I start all over agin to do something different.

I got 6 jeans, 5 leggings, 25 skirts (I know overkill much), 3 shorts 17 tops, 5 dresses, 3 Jumper dresses (yes their different :P)

So I was going to choose jeans (because I wear them more)
But my passion and the amount of time I put into dressing in skirts ticks the box lol.

flowy hippy or gothy maxi skirts FTW!

That being said, it seems I own like a 3: 1 ratio of dresses to skirts. I do like them both, and I own more of either than I do pants. I do like the Bondage pants though like Tripp NYC and such.

Where's the option for 'no pants'? I just adore being pantless when I'm at home. There is nothing more comfortable than walking around in your undies! However, for occasions when we are having guests over or are going out of the house, I much prefer pants. In fact- I only own one dress, and that was from my junior homecoming dance. I only wore it that one occasion. Skirts and dresses just make me feel funny/uncomfortable. I feel out of place in a dress. Probably because I'm so clumsy and awkward, and I also am a leg spreader when I sit :P so yeah- pants or no pants would be my choice ;)

I voted dresses, cause they're easier to wear cause I hate trying to match a top with a skirt, and I'm not a big fan of a pants look on me. My fave kinds of dresses are the knee-long ones that are tight on top but flare out at the waist, v-necks and layered styles, subtle patterns and dark colours. Also knitted dresses can be great. I don't like strapless, high neck or long-sleeved.

I even wear dresses during winters. Just with a warm cardigan and jacket, and warm leggings or slim jeans on my legs under it.

I love dresses when I find the right one, but skirts are so much more versatile and more practical for work. Some clients have offices in warehouses and I have to wear pants or leggings.

Honestly, I think skirts are a lot more fun. However, when you're like me and have thunder thighs mixed with the fashion sense of a teenage boy, dresses are just easier.

While I like dresses, I don't usually look good in them.  Being a large in tops and a medium in bottoms means that getting any dress to fit is a compromise.  And when my "third boob" (stomach) is as big as my actual boobs, not every dress that fits looks good.  So I have to be very picky about what dress I can wear.  It needs to have a well-defined waist, and a flared skirt.  I got lucky with the blue dress in my current avatar, which I got for a wedding: it had the right shape and a nice colour, and I found it at the right time.

So, mostly I wear skirts and tops.

Skirts give me more options to mix it up with different tops.
I love dresses also. Mostly mid-thigh length, full and flowing.

I also wear shorts a lot, and shorts should be short.

Unlike a man's navy blue suit, a huge down side of dresses is that nobody wants their girlfriends to see them in the same dress twice. I don't think I've ever gone anywhere with my wife that she hasn't gotten a new outfit for the occasion. Separates, pants or skirts, give more options for reusing with no one noticing.

I would love to get more dresses but (especially since I'm not full-time) I'm simply too tall for most of them and the waist ends up in the wrong place. So I have a wide variety of skirts.

LOL, you know you are a tall girl when you can't figure out whether something is a dress or a top.

I know this is not much of an answer, but I like both.

But for us tall girls, t-shirt and sweater dresses make great tunics 😃

I'm just going to add, I've online ordered 2 dresses & 3 skirts.  When they're delivered, and I've tried them on / worn them for a day or so, I'll add my comments.

All of my length is in my torso, my legs are what makes me short. I have several that I cannot decide if they are a short dress, or a long top. And to compound things, some of my tunic tops are longer that some of my shortest skirts!

I'm average height and still come across garments that I can't figure out if they're meant to be a top or a dress though! Similar to Jin, my body is a lot more torso than legs too. But I think the main issue is simply not understanding what the manufacturers of certain clothes were thinking! I do most of my shopping at thrift stores, and I can definitely say that sometimes when I pick up something interesting on a clothing rack... I don't know what it is! But that's when I can get more creative too. Wear it as a dress sometimes, and as a top other times? Then you have some extra variety. Also some types of dresses can be worn as skirts and vice versa.

It really depends on the situation because sometimes skirt is more appropriate than a dress and sometimes a dress is more appropriate than the start but I do like skirts a lot better or a short dress

A nice A-line skirt can look wonderful.  Their flexibility with a variey of tops is good too.

I love jeans! With the right shoes and top, you can dress them up or down.
My knees are always cold, so I like keeping them covered with some snug pants!

Well I would have to say I like skirts, have quite a few now, dresses, I only have one so far. I need more curves to fit a dress.
Liina

 I have two skirts and two dresses, but i hardly wear any of them.  I prefer pants, legging, or Capris!

Skirts are just so practical and comfy, that's how I voted. I love a nice fitting dress. Jeans are great too... it's all good.

With dresses I have a fit problem, since my bottom size is one to two size smaller than my top size (thanks to a large rib cage). Therefore dresses often don't fit well, but with skirts this isn't a problem, therefore my vote goes to skirts.

My wardrobe has about ten dresses, 7 skirts, 4 tunics, 4 leggings, 5 jeans, 6 capris, 5 fleecy pants, work pants, and 15 tops. It's more a seasonal/occasion thing for me, so I can't pick one! I live in an area with a decent temperature variation (0 to 40 degrees C) so weather decides more than I do!

Tones of skirts cause I work in an office now.
But I'd lean towards jeans

I like being in this type of work for my outfits :'3

I have gone further away from jeans as I have this paranoia of the crotch! D:
Only my black jeans work well!

Like them both but it's hard to find dresses that fit right so its easier to get a decent look with a skirt.

I'm different sizes on top and bottom due to big shoulders and with pretty much no boobs it's hard to find a good fit. Being tall, the length of a dress can be a problem also. I've got a couple that I'll only wear with leggings because of that.

I really like being able to be clean every day. But It can be mentally draining.
Worst thing is because I haven't physically done anything, when I get to the weekend I do tones of manual stuff and leave myself tiered for the week.

I have to learn to chill more maybe!


But yes flexibility of a skirt can't be beat!

I have to wait to get home for dresses or skirts. I would love to spend the day in neat womens professional attire. I often have a mix of office and hangar floor, - the tropical heat is a killer in the workshop!

Can you get the best of both worlds with office comfort and vigorous physical excercise outside of work ?

I never was into japanese cars, I had a Toyota once, hated it and sold it again.  It was always either American iron (my father in law had a GM Dealership, the prices were right then  >:-)), or German engineering (VW and/or Audi).
And for my own punishment I keep my 1961 Triumph TR4 Roadster, which in typical British car fashion needs 4 days of work to be able to drive it one day!  But when it drives, it is sheer fun, nothing beats getting your teeth knocked out in an old British roadster!

Toyota is a god send, and so is the straight 6.

Derailing a thread much?  There is a thread devoted to cars elsewhere here.  We have also had a topic thread entitled "The thread that cannot be derailed" for those so inclined to wander about the premises.   ;) ;D

Dresses and skirts can be so flattering or part of accentuating a body shape with narrow hips and little butt.  We do get to choose and that is the very best part!

I love mixing skirts and tops.  I can pick out a bright, or bold patterned skirt and match it with a solid top to shift visual focus away from the slightly wide shoulders. A skirt can be cut to produce the illusion of hips and legs that go on forever!  🤩

That is me to a Tee!

I travel A LOT for work, and skirts/tops are the only way to have enough outfits and not bring two steamer trunks of clothes.

As well, dresses make my straight up and down figure look even more straight. Skirts help make the hips show a bit more.

I love wearing all three however I voted for skirts because they make me feel more fem and I love to dress them up. I do love dresses but because of my current body shape they are not always flattering on me and I have bumps in all the wrong places.

We can avoid that 'straight up and down' look with a structured dress, one designed with some structural shape that does not rely on clinging to or being draped over a body for shape.  Calvin Kline and Tahari make quite a few different 'officeware' structured dresses.  I have several...

HA! I have just been shopping in the wrong places!

The skirts I like are mostly "structured" ones. I should have thought to look for dresses with the same characteristics.

Thanks for the advice, Michelle!!!

Kate

Skirts, I'm not quite shaped right for dresses, so keeping top/bottom separate is easier to fit

Big fan of hippyesque broomstick skirts, though they end up a bit short on me.
