Do any boardsies over 25 years of age wear chinos?

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 · 30-04-2013 11:15PM

You can feel colours now?

moc moc a moc · 30-04-2013 11:15PM

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 · 30-04-2013 11:15PM

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 · 30-04-2013 11:16PM

Nobody should wear chinos.

Where the hell do you live?

yizorselves · 30-04-2013 11:17PM

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

endacl · 30-04-2013 11:17PM

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

Checks your location.

Of course you are.

bodice ripper · 30-04-2013 11:21PM

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.

missingtime · 30-04-2013 11:23PM

Yes I wear chinos. And I'll wear what ever the **** I want thank you very much.

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.

ViveLaVie · 30-04-2013 11:27PM

I love chinos on men. They look good.

longhalloween · 30-04-2013 11:27PM

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.

Same. I have a pair of wine ones, like these

That girl needs to be shot

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.
