Wearing only lycra makes me feel like a poseur, as I am not a racer, nor am I even that fast. Cargo shorts also provide places to store stuff, and in the winter, keeps the legs warm. More about function than fashion.
Given that you stated that "Lycra is so much more comfortable", I was just wondering why you'd choose not to wear it.
Some possible reasons that came to mind include:
- Embarrassment due to looking "different" in lycra
- Embarrassment due to body image issues
- The need to present a "professional" appearance at work
- Or, since you're in Colorado Springs, perhaps the fear of attracting the attention of sex-crazed meth-snorting fundamentalist ministers.
re: storing stuff - the rear pockets in jerseys work pretty well for that.
re: staying warm in winter - tights work really well for that.
