Dresses are better than pants. I said it, and I mean it. I don't care how "comfy" your jeans are or how "leggings are like literally life." Dresses. Are. Better. They have always been better and will always be better.
1. No pants means ~no problems~
That's right. No pants in public! If that isn't a win for womankind, then I don't know what is. Nothing says "Today is going to be the best day ever" like waking up and not having to put pants on. You could live the rest of your life without ever wearing pants again. Mull that one over, jean-lovers.
2. You're buying an entire outfit for the price of one piece of clothing
Heck yeah we save money. I don't need to buy $50 jeans and a $15 shirt, because I can buy one $20 dress and it serves the same purpose. Sure you can "mix and match" pants and shirts, but we can mix and match shoes and sweaters, so really you have no leg up, both figuratively and literally, because jeans are really restrictive.
3. Every body type can wear them
There's so many different shapes and materials that everybody can flatter themselves. Whether you feel more comfortable in a maxi-dress or a tea length, just above the knee or a short dress, there's a million shapes and lengths.
4. They are perfect for lazy days
Don't want to adult today? Wear a dress. Need to run to the grocery store but don't want to get ready? Wear a dress. You only have to put on one piece of clothing and you still look put together.
5. You can layer for optimal comfort
Is it cold right now but going to be warm later? Good. You can wear a sweater and some leg warmers under your boots that you can take off if you get too hot.
6. Long jackets
A long jacket over a dress with heels. Do I need to say any more? That is the ultimate cool weather outfit. It looks so classy and you're still so warm. Thank you, Jacket Gods, for sending up this beautiful style.
7. You can dress them up or down
Going to work or class? Simple make-up and jewelry with flats will work. Going out afterwards and don't want to change? Switch out your flats for heels, add a red lip and statement jewelry, and you should be all set.
8. Public restrooms are far easier to tackle
It's a lot easier to hover over a public toilet seat when you just have to hold your dress up instead of trying to balance with pants on. Not the prettiest sight, but a serious concern that should be taken into account if you're a person who is ever in public, ever.
The moral of the story is that you can never be too dressed up, and it is far more fun to live life without pants on. Next time you're dreading your 8am psych class, consider wearing a dress, because if you look good, you feel good.
