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

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.

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.

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.
