It's Summertime.

Outdoor grilling, fireworks, all very American patriotic. Your stage attire should reflect that.

Shorts? Okay. Consider Liberace:

Mine was strictly from a fashion point of view. But OK...."sun off the skin" is good!
My POV is mostly fashion also, I'm just pointing out that shorts probably don't really have an advantage anyway.

15-year-old me at my first HS swim meet … coach handed me my red, white, and blue f’ckin’ g-string thing, and I was like WTAF?!

Fed Ex didn’t have a big-enough box to pack my man junk! :jam:
We got our junior high basketball uniforms in a big box. None fit. We had the shortest shorts imagineable and nothing else to choose from. Our team went undefeated for the season, but the shorts...

There's only one person in history I can think of that could pull off the shorts on stage look.

Godspeed. The odds are not with you my friend. :laugh2:

I chalk it up to three principles:

1) Wear less up top than downstairs. If you're wearing shorts, go shirtless or wear a tank top.
2) If you're going to dress athletic on stage, you'd better be athletic on stage. If you're dressing for sweat, you'd better be sweaty.
3) Don't be fat.

4) be able to play as well as Dimebag Darrel could. :laugh2:

I'm not a shorts on-stage guy BUT I've done it in extreme cases. Humidity here sucks, and so does 97 degree. I'd go shorts (maybe), light weight button shirt, for sure multiple blower fans on stage, lots of water, gatorade type/electrolyte stuff then play fast and get outta there!
