Default do you wear shorts to work?

i don't my legs are bleach white

the other day my boss asked me why i don't wear shorts to work since it been real hot lately. my answer was shorts are unprofessional looking and most respectable business men do not wear them. he didn't like that answer.
we are a 3 person crew on a island of 36 houses we are surrounded by millionaires.
i don't recall any of the most respected members of out community wearing shorts at all.
also i have some tattoos on my legs and i don't want the people getting the wrong
impression of me. not that they are bad tattoos but i think tattoos are generally stereotyped and associated with criminal behavior. actually on of my tattoos basically stands for no drugs, no alcohol and no promiscuous sex. i had the large tattoo put on my leg to remind my self of what's important to me.
also an other good reason no to wear shorts, there are a ton of raspberry and black berry bushes out the not to mention we are in the carpentry business, seems like wearing shorts is just asking to get you legs skun up.

I'm not permitted to wear shorts at work now but even when I was allowed to I never did cause it's work not play time and it's not professional IMO.

Starting this past thursday , I will wear shorts to work every day now until it is too cold to do so ( sometime in october usually). I work for a private company , so who cares if it looks professional. It's usually hard to see my legs when you pass me on the highway anyways

I didn't see the option for sitting in your boxers pecking away at the keyboard in your mom's basement sporting a week of stubble with Cheetoh crumbs stuck in your fly?
