What the benefits and disadvantages to wearing a skirt?

For me, a skirt is more comfortable because I can find some that actually fit my odd shape.
Advantages:
Figure flattering
Fun, pretty styles
You can twirl them

Disadvantages:
Must wear stockings in the winter
Have to cross your legs a certain way

Pants are often a burden for me because the fitting is usually off (I have a wide waist but skinny legs).
Advantages:
Freedom to move in any direction
Helps long legs look amazing
More variety, easier to find the right style

Disadvantages:
Fitting
Fitting
Fitting!
Transient styles
