Haha.. interesting options, Col. But you forgot Capris. (You must be a guy or something!) And it all depends on the season or occasion! Shorts for summer, jeans and pants for winter. More often that not you'll find me in workout pants (or pajama pants if I am at home). And brands?? Anything that I can find cheap!
I'm definitely a jeans girl. I live in them when I'm not at work. My faves are from a shop here called Cisco!
