    People can go out and buy a pair of chino's in Pennys along with other associated attire for fairly little money and will go out looking fairly modern and trendy.


    Fair play to 'em I say.


    I on the other hand, no matter what I wear tend to look like a tramp

    Ah well, north donegal aint exactly the hub of fashion so dont worry bout it :D

    Sounds closer to the mark than central dublin right now tbh....

    But then I think in donegal they're just free'er to be. Imagine if people ended up tripping over each other to be the same... shorn headed toe rag, on appearance, in prison attyre. Oh just imagine if that did transpire, lol

    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

    My fiance wears them all the time he has a nice ass in them too :)

    Let people wear what they want as long as they are comfortable and are happy with what they wear then nothing else matters

    Thanks, when I first read the thread I actually thought that the OP was talking about Chinese people, thanks for clearing that up.

    I do, but not these gay, carrot type or ones that are like a pair of pipes. It's all about a classy pair with a proper pair of leather hard soled shoes, c/w blazer, shirt and G&T!

    +1 to normal chinos. Chinos, shoes as described in the above post and a shirt is s far better casual outfit for men than living in jeans and a t shirt. Although I don't expect that to be a popular opinion on boards of all places.

    This isn't even about the wearing of a simple pair of trousers, which should have raised alarm bells even without it ever even being about over 25's in them it's about the wearing of anything other than the mandatory sweatshop sweatpants....he be testing the waters

    Trousers make your dick look bigger, if it helps at all.

    Worse still, the ill fitting, unflattering black t-shirt (possibly with some sort of witty print) with jeans and dark runners, laces in a massive bow look. It just screams "I can code and upgrade RAM, what about it?"

    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

    Unfortunately this post is pretty close to the truth.

    Pair of bootcut jeans, rubbish looking brown shoes or steel toed boots and an oversized shirt. Anything other than that and you're a weirdo apparently.

    Never wore them myself but they're another example of something that has been bastardised by **** who think a size 28 waist is too big and all trousers should be painted on.

    But We are seeing the first gen of the townies as adults now, so even their attempt at unassuming casual wear has to have reebok on or some shít....

    shít even the older generation are donning the stripes just to fit in. I am talkin the grannies and stuff, everyone... dressing like only a tween at most should

    ah christ I need to flee this neighbourhood.. these times?!

    At least they look a hell of lot better than sweatpants and those out of date boot cut jeans that Irish people seem to live in.

    I have a green pair and a sandy brown pair. They're not really the best pants in the world imo. A good pair of elasticated jeans, courdroys or leather pants usually suits better

    ah yes the clothes of the unwashed masses who will call anyone who takes any interest you appaeanace/ fashion a "fag".


    I rock casual chinos all the time with cons and then spice it up for a night out with a nice blazer, shirt, and hard soled shoes.

    36 and wearing a pair now. Why wouldn't I? They are comfortable, available in an array of colours and look good with a casual shirt. Ideal for work/home.

    Hang on, can we establish if chinos are stereo-typically for old people or young people please?

    I am really confused. I myself have always associated them with ould lad in the golf club types.

    Same here.

    OP -can you post picture of what you consider chinos, or a pic of a guy who looks like the guy you mentioned.

    I can't picture any trousers I have seen called chinos whereby if I saw them on a 26 year old I'd be thinking "jaysus man, grow up".

    There was a TV3 news presenter who looked in his late 30's or 40's with a haircut of a 16 year old boyband singer. It looked stupid, but to me chinos were auld lad pants, and I do actually remember a lad getting slagged for wearing them out to the pub when I was in school, as they look more like suit trousers your dad would wear.

    I hate to break it to you junior, but chinos are aul man pants.

    What aul fellas like myself shouldn't wear is leather jackets, jeans and flip flops. Chinos are what you graduate into once you're too old for the other stuff.

    If you're under 25 and wearing chinos, you should go the whole hog and get a monocle and silver-tipped walking cane. Full young fogey stylee.
