Question about clothing options for Mars

I know Mars is probably cold, but it also has a thin atmosphere.
I guess if we were to go there
(after the missiles containing gasses and plant life have annihilated the surface and time has elapsed and now there is a thriving oxygen plentiful, vegetive environment suitable for us to walk around and breath the clean fresh Martian air)

I guess my question is, could you wear shorts, like biker shorts or short-shorts or would you still get burned up by solar rays?

I know its Friday,

You would need a good hoodie. Probably made of lead.

I think at its warmest point, Mars gets to be around -40. So, I doubt you'd wanna wear shorts. Even with terra-forming it'd still be really cold.

During summer on the Martian equator it gets to be about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. That's not too bad. I suppose as long as you had a decent helmet with oxygen, you could probably get by with wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but you're gonna get sunburned pretty bad.

I love it. Counter point to the 'How long would it be possible to live on the sun?' thread.

I would say everything you mentioned should be fine including Daisy Dukes.

If the surface is annihilated, what would be the point of going there?


However, it would appear that this style would be de rigueur:

So, clothing options on Mars = clothing optional?

Red shoes and handbag, definitely.

No that would clash.
Red and green should never be seen.
I reckon whatever you wear it just has to be burgundy.

You can't really go wrong with classic attire for men. Casual but just popping with style.

Nowt classic about hipster wear.
They look like they are wearing little boys clothes.

Men should not wear Capri pants.

Ever. Even on Mars.

I know but it's Mars. Hippest planet in the solar system.

I mean I wouldn't wear that but I'm older and a bit old school

Thanks for the answers, very enlightening.

You know how it is when you're packing at the last minute, bound to forget something…
I'm only going to bring one pair of cut-offs. I figure I can always cut more of my pants to make more shorts if I need them.

Top hat and tails.
Gotta go there in style. ..oh and everything burgundy except the shirt maybe a nice peach colour with frills .

It's either that or sports uniforms.

Absolutely...

Color coordination and the proper accessories just can't be ignored. No one wants to look like a bum.

Maybe a space monocle to finish it off.
Fabulous! .

Only if I can shoot a laser through yours.
