Settle a dispute - shorts on a plane

Anonymous
Is it weird to wear shorts on an airplane? I think yes. En route to Dulles to fly cross country, and DH is in shorts.

It’s weird to care what other people wear. If he’s comfortable what’s the big deal?

OP: rephrasing question. Not “is it weird” but would you do it.

Is DH from the Midwest? My spouse will wear shorts anywhere he can.

It’s better than them getting all hot and smelly on the plane.

I wouldn't because I don't like my bare skin touching airplane seats but I don't care if other people do.

I wouldn’t but only because I’m always freezing in airports/on planes. Otherwise I definitely would.

Why would it be weird to wear shorts on a plane? My DH and DS do it all the time. I don't often wear shorts on a plane but I do wear dresses and skirts when I fly in the summer.

I wear shorts on planes all the time. Am a 50 year old woman. Why is it weird?

It's not weird at all, unless you are flying on Air Force One. Have you seen people dress to travel OP? just be comfortable, nobody cares.

This. The thought of my bare skin on the seat grosses me out, but I don't care what others do.

I grew up with a stepmom who insisted I would be cold anytime I left the house so I always had pants and a sweater with me. As an adult, I’ve realized she’s insane and I wear whatever I want and do just fine. I work across the south, so shorts are just fine most of the year.

No. I never wear shorts.

Planes are cold. It's weird.

(And as a former NTSB employee I'll point out that shorts are less safe in an emergency.)

I bring layers for the plane. I would rather be a little cold than broiling hot in a stuffy plane, personally, if I had to choose.
