We all have those days when you just don't want to wear pants while going out and unfortunately you can't be in your underwear all day like you do at home. This when two modern day dressing tools come in handy: Skirts and Shorts. They're great for when you're in the mood for putting your legs on display. Each girl has their preference among the two. Let's examine both and determine which one is the best.

FUNCTIONALITY:
Shorts clearly are far more functional, give you a greater range of motion and are overall less restrictive. For example let's say someone steals your phone and your are in a leather skirt then it's difficult to run. Whereas if you are in a lighter skirt you can run but your knickers will be on display as the skirt constantly lifts while running. In shorts you can run and move around much better.

Certain types of skirts do not allow for a great deal of mobility. The pencil skirt illustrated above is one of them.

With skirts it depends on the fabric. Some skirts with lighter fabrics offer greater range of motion while tighter ones don't. Also some styles of skirts like pencil skirts for example are purely for style and nothing else.

PANTY FLASHES:
With skirts there is of course that gap between your legs which be great for lady parts as it gives them more oxygen which they need. But it can lead to your underwear can being visible if you open up your legs too much while sitting or lift them up too high.

WINDY DAYS:
On days that are breezy, for example, skirts of lighter fabrics tend to go flying upwards resulting in your panties being on display. This can, however, be solved by wearing a tighter skirt or one with a heavier fabric like a denim skirt for example. There is also the possibility of dust and objects going in between the gap of your skirt. But shorts here are best as there no gap between the legs thereby eliminating the possibility of your knickers being on display.

FEMININITY:
A lot of girls like skirts due to the 'doll-like' look the bring. You tend to feel more 'Barbie-like' Shorts on the other hand are a lot more sporty. Not to say that they’re aren’t still sexy and not suited for girls which they are.

Singer Tori V looks stunning and doll-like in a mini-skirt in one of her videos.

VAGINAL OXYGENATION:
Both shorts and skirts allow for more air to your lady parts. But definitely skirts a bit more compared to shorts.

MY PERSONAL VERDICT:

Although mini-skirts and shorts are both sexy. Nupur is the type that typically goes for shorts. Although skirts are more loose and comfortable plus not to mention that nice breeze between the knees and more oxygen for your lady parts but the thing is that it’s a bit restrictive as you have to be careful how you sit and in certain other situations as your panties may be visible.

Shorts show the exact shape your ass which can’t be seen in a skirt. (So what? Body confidence guys! Men show off their abs so why not women.) This makes you look far sexier. Plus as Nupur grew up, later on, she did a decent amount of squats. So she was quite confident about her butt and overall body in general. Nupur definitely can wow guys with her booty but not in the sense that she’s desperate for male attention and want creeps staring at her ass. What she does mean is if she is comfortable around a guy or trusts him enough to dress sexy in front of him then she doesn’t mind. (Plus it would make your all your gal pals and female enemies jealous!) As for it is inevitable that it will attract random male attention it’s already spoken of in one of her previous posts on double standards regarding female sexuality. It’s perfectly natural and normal for women to express their sexy side.

They also offer more physical functionality. Apart from that, Nupur in general is a bit more of a sporty kinda chick too. Hence, taking all the aforementioned factors into consideration Nupur is going for shorts instead of a skirt. So that’s Nupur’s verdict: Shorts. But no judgement towards those that hold different views.
