    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.

    Interesting question and ill pose another. What is an appropriate alternative to jeans these days? I have far too many jeans and then nothing else bar formal trousers or tracksuit bottoms

    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?

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

    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 :)

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

    It's hard not to wear anything else but 3 stripes here lest you get tagged weirdo. Trousers iron pressed? Weirdo... Dressing like a man. Full of himself. Not cropped that cows lick out of his hair? weirdo...

    All the signs point toward a seriously repressed lack of confidence, nationwide if this continues. Fat kids, yet appearing starved of.. something. fcuking cavemen had more panache in their grimey loincloths. Down to earth, is the objective but not with such repressive force we end up 6 ft under

    I wear chinos, jeans, leather jackets, t-shirts and anything else I want. Those who don't approve of the way I dress can look at something they like better. Oh, I'm nearly 43 by the way.

    OP, is your problem with green or other bright colour chinos or chinos in general?

    What about black chinos? What about green jeans?
