Interesting article but I e got to be honest. You can have my jeans when you pry them off my cold, dead body.
Dresses and skirts have no pockets. They're often constricting in ways that jeans are not. I never feel quite as safe in public in a dress get up. You have to wear dress shoes with dresses. And often hose.
I hate dresses and skirts. They're not more comfortable at all, but you're welcome to them.
