Do any boardsies over 25 years of age wear chinos?

jimpump

If you do I think its time to grow up lads. I saw a 40-50 year old fella wear green chinos and I seriously felt scarlet for the guy

Gongoozler

You can feel colours now?

Wha? When I was young, I'd have been surprised to see anyone under 25 in chinos. To my generation, they're middle-aged-man pants.

Edit: Ah, is this part of that hipster stuff that seems to be the thing now? Wearing era-unsuitable clothing 'ironically'?

NuckingFacker

Wouldn't be seen dead in them, I'm waay too old. Skin tight leather is your only man.

Why would you give a damn what anyone else wears, never mind feel any kind of emotional response to it?

Super-Rush

Nobody should wear chinos.

Nah never bought a pair. I never thought they looked that good really and wasnt bothered following that trend

Remember when chinos used to be for aul'fellas and golfists?

They still look crap now. They just look crap in more colours, and on hipsters.

Why should anyone give a damn about anything so? Most forums would be boring as **** if that was the case

I can't really believe anyone actually wears anything other than jeans. All other trousers are aul fella pants

Read a thread about a lad who felt embarrassed about what a stranger was wearing. Wasn't scarlet at all for him. Just thought he came as off a bit.... odd.

Ruudi_Mentari

If a thread about being embarrassed about what other people are wearing is your definition of interesting, you're right, we shouldn't give a damn.

Next up, shoes.
I saw a girl in white stilettos and I nearly fainted in disgust. I wasn't scarlet for her, but I was a very interesting shade of dusky pink with a hint of beige.

I love chinos on men. They look good.

longhalloween

The skinny chinos are awful. Loose and tight in all the wrong places. Ya'd see lads and the legs would be hugging their calves, but falling down around the waist.

You can buy straight leg ones in decent men's shops (NOT River Island) that look alright. I wore mine a few times on holidays and felt like the man from Del Monte.

KERSPLAT!

If I am correct, then they are old-man trousers.

Are they like dockers? I guess I wear them on occasion. I'm not too worried about what people think of my dress sense, in all honesty.

I dont think there is any. I've a few pairs of jeans, few tracky bottoms, a pair of chinos :P and like yourself a few pairs of trousers, what more do you need?

Now that sounds like what I'd consider an interesting thread, but only with explanatory photos.

Chinos are only acceptable if you are an overweight crime boss from New Jersey

admiralofthefleet

i have a pair but i dont wear them cause they are too small. if they fit i would wear them and couldnt care less what people think. even if i leave the toilets in the pub with a map of ireland on my jeans i just shrug. im 32

steirishrover

Have a couple of pairs there, just hit 27 this week...

Got called gay there a few weeks ago wearing a pair by some dipso auld one in the local, so I unleashed a good bit of stick her way. I think their ok but I can see why a lot of people wouldn't be into them

I googled him.

He looks like the love child of a Great Dane crossed with a mahogany hatstand. I don't know what he does or where he does it though.

He wore black traditonal cut chinos on a regular basis. Of course I know jack all about clothing so they might have been just dress slacks

Yup, tony loved his black slacks....never chinos though, and paulie loved his tracksuits. I dont think any OG ever wore chinos:D

EazyD

I'd imagine the people criticising chino's have fantastic attire themselves!
