Why do some people wear shorts all year round, even in the winter, and then wear their hoodie or jacket with it? It seems to be espceially common among college students. If its cold enough to warrant a hoodie, why the shorts?

I often wear shorts with hoodies, or even full coats and boots. I'm a hot blooded sweathog, and a hoody can often be too much, while a long sleeve shirt is too little. The legs release less heat than your head or torso, so it's kind of like opening a smaller heat release valve to keep from sweating. You are far better off to be cooler than you feel comfortable, than you are if you start sweating. Sweating is designed to cool your body, and is the surest path to hypothermia. So, Ironically, I wear shorts with my hoodies to keep from getting hypothermia.

It depends on which parts of your body get cold. Sometimes I can just wear something around my neck and I feel great or a hat but not wear much lower. And I'm in my 50s. I've gone camping in the snow with shorts and worn a sweater and felt great:-)

I'm a college kid and I wear shorts all the time and a hoodie in the winter. For me shorts are more comfy. Some of my friends think its a little weird but hey whatever floats your boat. Anyway, I like hearing hot girls say I've got cute legs all year round.
