Because no one sees them:
Cotton/lycra bycycle shorts.
cotton pajama bottoms, cut to capri length
light weight cotton capris
Linen "bloomers": buy the linen, light weight, about a yard, make full pants with elastic waist using a pattern for sweat pants,
just don't put elastic at the bottom, make them capri length. I have a few of these and the linen ones are by far my favorite and
a godsend in summer. They even make nice light layers to add under light weight pants when the weather is coolish. They wear
well and a long time since they never get dirt to wear them away but they handle sweat well. Cotton tends to stay wet, linen
dries fast and can act as a "swamp cooler". You can even get chills in a slight breeze!
Hope that helps.
