I’m a middle age mom with a teen son who runs hot and wears what’s comfortable, so I can’t grant your wish.

However, my dad always wore short sleeves and shorts. When he would go somewhere, like to the store or for dinner, he’d switch to jeans or pants. But he’d wear shorts out and about far past the time of year some of the moms on this thread would be comfortable with. It wasn’t about following the crowd, it was about comfort. He only wore long sleeves to weddings and funerals. Even in the middle of winter, during a blizzard, he was in short sleeves. He’d wear a jacket over his short sleeve polo if he got cold. I can remember him stepping out onto the patio, while it was snowing, in shorts and a t shirt to grill some steaks or chicken for dinner. Hed come back inside, shake the snow off his shoes, and say “it’s getting a little chilly out,” and go back to what he was doing without missing a beat.

I know for a fact that he doesn’t give a crap about whether teen boys are wearing shorts or jeans in the winter. In fact, he’d probably ask them if they’re too warm in their hoodies. It’s only cold natured moms on here complaining about people not being comfortable doing the same things they’re doing. [/quote]
