Much rather have my legs covered than un-, yeah, unless actually swimming. And IME, if your pants are uncomfortably tight, that means you are wearing the wrong size, wrong cut, or both.*
And because I am a burb dad who gives exactly no fucks, I can just find like one pair of comfortable chino-type thingies and just buy them in every color.

Tombot, the answer is one, or two at the outside.
If a Banana Republic/Land's End/LL Bean no-iron chino is comfortable in tan, it will also be comfortable when purchased in navy, olive, charcoal, and (if you're feeling daring) bone. Five or six pairs will last me quite a while.
They can dress up or down as needed and they're fairly neutral colors. Most days, literally all I do is choose a t-shirt; if I need to go to an office I just put on a dress shirt or polo shirt instead. Occasionally I will buy jeans, but have rarely found any that are comfortable.

My main objection to shorts is having to slather on the white housepaint several times a day to stop my legs from turning red and crispy; Aussie sun is fierce.
As for the trousers thing, very much in the camp of 'if hey are uncomfortable you are doing it wrong' although with a side of 'the clothing industry is seriously fucked up about sizing'. I've got trousers in my wardrobe that range from 34-40 inches in nominal waist size, some of which is cut and waistband position, some of which is wait change, some of which is just the vagueries of clothing and the rise of vanity sizing.
Happy to have lost a bunch of weight this year, though; being closer to what the clothing industry considers nominal makes things a lot easier.
