I'm a woman and I'm confused as to how you find dresses and skirts comfortable. They're a pain in the ass, uncomfortable, look terrible on most people i see in them and pants are way more comfy if you buy the right ones. And most offices are freezing cold year round anyway.
Offices are freezing cold for only half of the people. For the other half offices are always way too hot.
My office historically was 65° F year round(its now 72° F), a perfect temperature for everyone, both men and women to complain. The IT office I worked at before that had the same issue. Something something cheaper heating bills.
You need better fitting dresses and skirts then. Are you only wearing tight/form fitting dresses? Of pencil skirts? These are terrible indeed.
Nice, flowy dresses? Pure bliss! I hate wearing pants in the summer, it's way too hot.
No, they're all just uncomfortable. Flowy dresses aren't any better than non-flowy, but tight dresses feel better than the loose ones, which just feels like nightgowns (which I don't like either). All of your skin sticks together unless you're wearing hose or something underneath and there's nothing worse than dealing with hose.
Different people are different. Not everyone likes the same things. This notion that skirts and dresses are universally comfortable isn't any more correct than saying everyone wants to wear pants all of the time.
Nah they all suck and are uncomfortable. Form fitting clothing sucks in general, but flowy dresses are still uncomfortable because you have to be careful of how you move unless you want everyone accidentally seeing your bits or your ass. Also still got the problem of the fabric bunching up getting in the way. And they still look terrible on anyone whos not rail thin.
offices being hot/cold really depends on where you live and the season
