I prefer shorts or capri pants over pants and dresses. So much more comfy, and I don't have to worry about showing someone my junk by accident, while still getting that nice air flow of comforting relief.

Sometimes I feel like going full on kilt, but those things are quite thick, all things considered. Might help to aerate the crown jewels, but I'm not too sure if the overall experience wouldn't still be on the warm side.
You could just as easily have a plaid skirt and the people that would give you shit for wearing a skirt wouldn't know the difference.
Kilts are generally made of wool, and wool has a bad reputation. Or maybe a warm one. Wool is actually really breathable and a great year-round fabric, better than cotton. I suppose how it’s made (how tight the weave, etc) could be a factor, but look into it sometime. Wool has a lot going for it as a very versatile material. I knit and the coolest things for me to wear on hot summer days are things I’ve knit from 100% wool. Mainly tank tops with loose stitches, so yes there’s more airflow, but the structure of wool fiber itself is just really breathable and nice. Naturally wicks sweat so it dries quickly, doesn’t tend to retain sweat smells and can have anti microbial properties, so rarely needs washing. I’m a big fan of wool lol

I have dresses and skirts but rarely wear them because they don't feel comfy for me at all. I have to pay extra attention to how I sit and walk and that adds extra stress to my day for me. I do like to wear something loose when I'm home, though, and wish I could wear that outside more often because it's much more comfy than tight, neat clothes.
I personally strongly prefer pants but I support those who don't want to wear them (as long as they're wearing a dress or something in public). At home though, you do you, whatever.
Swedish transit strikers and everyone else.
I would miss my pockets though. Can I just wear basketball shorts everywhere?

I'd need some kind of a tool belt under that dress to haul all my stuff
