I'm the opposite: I wear long pants, shoes, and socks year round, only my upper garments change for the seasons (T-shirts in the summer, long sleeves in the spring/fall, hoodies/jackets in the winter).

90°F outside? I'm in jeans. Going to the beach? Socks and sneakers, baby (though I'll wear bathing trunks). Even when I was a mail carrier walking literally 10 miles a day in 90% humidity, I was wearing long pants. My coworkers/customers thought I was crazy, and maybe I am, but that's just how it be.

Does it have anything to do with not having to deal with change? The amount of coverage/protection/insulation ect. being consistent rather than changing with how you feel like dressing that day?

I catch myself, while shopping clothes, always for the same cut of clothes for the same reason, even going as far as getting cranky if the material/thickness of fabric I am used to is not available for the print I'm liking. Maby an extreme example...

But all the people I know personally who stick to either shorts or long pants come high or hell water tend to have a lot of traits where they either appreciate consistency or... no mainly that now that I think of it.

Same, except I almost always have a light jacket for storage. I don't like carrying a murse, and it basically never gets really hot where I live.

a jacket for storgage... thats the first time i heard about that one.

I have a backpack with panda's. It makes me look like a 2m tall kid, but they are really cute panda's so I'm willing to make that sacrifice.
