The actual problem

You checked the weather. You still don’t know what to wear.

A temperature and a rain icon are not a decision. Shorts vs Pants brings the weather, your plans and your comfort together, then gives you the answer.

Your answerPants

The answer first. Detail when you want it.

One look. Your whole fit.

Start with shorts or pants. Then see the right top, umbrella advice and the weather details behind the recommendation.

01 · Dress for the plan

A run and a day in the stands are not the same forecast.

Choose what you’re heading out to do. The app adjusts your layers and rain advice for everyday plans, walking, running, golf, tennis and watching sport.

02 · Make it yours

Because 18° does not feel the same to everyone.

Tell Shorts vs Pants whether you reach for shorts or layers sooner. Your recommendation changes with you, without adding another forecast to decode.

03 · Look beyond right now

Right now is only part of the day.

Fit check looks ahead to this morning, afternoon or evening, so the outfit that works when you leave still makes sense later.

A forecast with a little more character

Whichever way the weather goes, one of them has you covered.

Shorts and Pants do more than decorate the forecast. They make the answer immediate, memorable and a lot more fun to check.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Everything you need before you head out.

How does Shorts vs Pants decide what I should wear?

It combines the weather with your selected activity and comfort preferences, then recommends shorts or pants, a top and whether an umbrella is useful.

Can I use it without sharing my location?

Yes. You can search for a place manually instead of using your current location.

Does it account for running, walking or sport?

Yes. Choose Everyday, Walk, Run, Golf, Tennis or Spectating sport to adjust the recommendation for what you’re doing.

Can I adjust it if I run warm or cold?

Yes. Simple comfort controls let you choose whether you reach for shorts, pants or warmer layers sooner.

Will Shorts vs Pants cost anything?

Current pricing will always be shown clearly in the App Store before you download.

Is Android available?

The iPhone app is first. Google Play is planned for later.

Where does the weather data come from?

Forecast data is powered by Apple Weather. Visit our weather data page for attribution and important forecast information.
