What temperature will you start wearing shorts and/or short sleeves?

[Hammy]

I have never worn long pants in a situation I was not required to and have gone out in temperatures as cold as 21F with a wind chill of -4F in shorts so I have yet to even discover the pants threshhold.

As for jackets it depends entirely on the situation as from a style and comfort perspective I tend to prefer long sleeves but about 70 or so is probably when it's too warm (if the sun's out then 40-45 can be too warm depending on what I'm doing)

Short sleeves: always, but sometimes with a jacket

Shorts: Above 70

This, pretty much.

Shorts are generally not acceptable for men to wear unless they are the <7" variety made for metrosexuals in 80+ degree weather.

e: just saw Santander's post. Of course we agree on this as we do everything. We were literally raised exactly the same.

Gay booty shorts are okay but normal shorts are not? ...what? I'mnot trying to be rude but I literally don't understand.

Cali, we have the Santa Ana, where it gets warm after the fog clears up. Shorts can be worn anytime of the year
 Except Dec and Jan, cooler months

Don't be a homo/metrophobe.

It's widely considered inappropriate for grown men to wear shorts or sandals around town.

You've never been to LA, I see.

If I was going out for a casual walk, to run errands, etc... then I will wear shorts at about 40*F and a t-shirt (only layer) at about 50*F. That's assuming it's mostly sunny outside and not too windy.

I wear knee-length shorts everywhere I go other than work on all but the coldest days here.  That includes church, out to eat, and pretty much anything.  I would absolutely wear shorts to work if I could too.

Seriously, I see no point to dressing up in general.  As far as I'm concerned, the President of the United States should be able to give the State of the Union in a t-shirt, gym shorts, and flip flops.

Not dressing like you're going to the beach is not "dressing up".

I usually start wearing short sleeves around 23 ºC or so. It needs to be somewhat hot for me to start wearing shorts though, like 29 C.
