Almost nude
Return to DiscussionsSince my front yard is open to a busy street, total nudity is not an option when working there.
I usually wear just gym shorts, no shirt or underwear.
Would like to try even less.
Two options come to mind.
1. A very short pair of tan through swim trunks. This is the smallest swimsuit I now own since I found swim briefs too confining after I stopped wearing underwear.
+ Minimal coverage and no tan line.
-Less comfortable than what I wear now.
2. Shorts with sides split to the waist and crotch cut open.
+ Most freedom when wearing anything.
- Still have tan lines, possible accidental exposure.
Any suggestions?
I find tan-through swim shorts bought two or three sizes too big work best. My wife, who is adamant that I should not do the front garden naked finds them OK for all types of public occasions, including travelling by bus.Do you find them to be more comfortable than regular shorts?
They are much more comfortable than my regular shorts. They are lighter weight and truly feel like you're not wearing any... except for the waist band. They get clingy when wet but you just blouse them a little and they dry quick. I wear them on occasion to run errands during the summer! Only problem there is that they don't have pockets so I end up taking a shoulder pack that looks like a fanny pack.

I have considered tan through shorts for gardening but have not tried it due to:
No pockets
High cost
Delicate material.
Are any of these an issue for you?
If so, how do you deal with it?
Probably not what you're looking for, but what I sometimes wear in the front garden is a utility kilt. I say not what you're looking for because they're quite think material being made from the same stuff as combat trousers.
If you're feeling a bit braver, you could also try getting a ladies mini kilt. They about the same length as a pair of shorts, but obviously don't have the crotch bit. I've not been allowed to wear mine in the front garden yet, but maybe your restrictions are less than mine :)

Anything designed mainly for ladies would not go well here.
I love wearing loose fitting jeans when mowing and yRd work in front yard. My jeans just seem to keep sliding down lol.i have some front yard picture but dont know how to attach here....stay safe stay nude
I prefer a boiler suit for the front lawn as I don't like a waist constraint although I have trimmed the edges naked.
