It gets chilly and rainy in southern California and Arizona sometimes.
Hawaii (the lowland areas) is really the only place in the US that qualifies. Maybe Key West too.
It depends on your tolerance of temperatures. I've seen people in Miami (particularly tourists) wear shorts all year, but I tend to wear jeans until it gets intolerable. I'd assume Arizona and south Texas are the same.
I love how people here think 65F is 'chilly'. Where I come from that's definitely shorts weather.
Southern California and Arizona have days where it's stuck around 55 F or cooler all day. Even in south Florida, there are days where it is only in the 60s. So occasionally it will be a bit cool for shorts and a t-shirt.
People wear shorts here in CO (metro Denver) year-round. Sometimes it really is warm enough in Jan. to do so, sometimes not. But hey, we women used to wear skirts all the time, regardless of weather.
I mean if you're looking for a place where almost every single day is going to be above the mid-60s guaranteed, then it's the Florida Keys or Hawaii really. Some other places get sesonally cold days, though it can be generally be pretty nice all year.
Places that are clear and sunny most of the winter and average around 65 during the day are nice enough to wear shorts and t-shirts from where I stand... I mean you might even have to put on a sweatshirt at night--DEAR GOD!
The under 20 crowd here think it is shorts and t-shirt weather all year. The rest of us though know that when it is 0 and you have on only shorts and a t-shirt; you are neither tough or cool, you are a frozen idiotsicle.
I would have to lean toward the other posters who have said Hawaii and the Keys. Maybe down around Brownsville, TX as well, but I have never been there during the winter so that is only a guess.

I've only seen one day in my 9 years of living here where it didn't get above 55 during the day, and that was this past winter. Keep in mind that was one of our coldest years on record.
