    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

    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'?

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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