Even though wearing shorts<\/a> is one of the simplest ways to stay cool during those sweltering-hot summer days<\/a>, not everyone feels 100% comfortable showing that much skin. But, here at Dia&Co, we firmly believe that all legs are good legs\u2014and each pair is equally deserving of their moment in the sun. So, with all that in mind, we reached out to the Dia&Co National Community Facebook group<\/a> to learn how you feel about the leg-baring summer staple. Here are just a few of your answers. *Answers have been condensed and edited for clarity and length.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI used to, but stopped, and now I am ready to try it again. Thick thighs here\u2014haven\u2019t worn shorts in over 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI live in south Louisiana\u2014before that, Texas. It is too hot around here for pants. So sorry if you don\u2019t want to see. Don\u2019t look. But I\u2019m not about to have a heat stroke because my legs aren\u2019t \u2018runway-ready.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLast summer was the summer I finally swore off shorts. They were uncomfortable, and I was so self-conscious about my cellulite. Then I got a pair of shorts from Dia that was actually comfortable and I felt so encouraged by the rest of the Dia Community. I now have four pairs of shorts this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always worn shorts. The summers are meant for shorts where I live. Never been afraid\u2014probably because I think I have great legs.\u201d<\/p>\n
