Mens' "smart casual" trousers?

[chilango]

That I can wear to work (with shoes, shirts and Donegal tweed) and to go out to nice places.

Similar smartness level to chinos I guess, but nicer and more "interesting".

No denim.

 

[Winot]

What sort of budget?

 

[Miss-Shelf]

can we see the Donegal tweed, please?

I've become a real cnvert to Meyer trousers. They do a wide variety of styles. They are expensive but worth it in my book.

MEYER makes trousers for men. Sustainable. European. Fair.

Men’s trousers made from organic cotton. Manufactured fairly in Europe. Experience and buy online. MEYER is the trouser expert. Quality in every detail. Since 1960.

Otherwise, I had always thought cavalry twill trousers were only available in red and exclusive to public school baying estate agents. But actually they work well at work. don't get red ones though....

Natalino are pretty good and have a sale on:

Wow. I can stomach paying, say £75-£100 for a really good quality pair of jeans / trousers, but those prices have given me palpitations.

Edit - the Meyer ones

Fucking hell dude,120 sheets for a pair of shorts!

I spent £40 on a pair of shorts on Weymouth 20 years ago. It's scarred me, I can genuinely remember everything about the shop, the feeling of horror and utter disbelief as I handed over the cash - even then it seemed to happen in slow motion....

Was it the price that shocked? or that you were buying a pair of trousers that weren't red?

at watch stage of life does wearing any sort of tweed become an notion


saying that my job is not a librarian or a English teacher

 

[Sweet FA]

I get work trousers from Next.

Not interesting though.

Price.

I only have two pairs of red strides - one of which is far more plum/aubergine than red...

 

[dessiato]

I like a nice pair of red trousers, in fact I have two pairs. They're a great all-round trouser without being boring

 

[Ax^]

never trust anyone in red trousers

 

[chilango]

I'm not buying red trousers.

I'm not buying red trousers.

I can honestly say I’ve never had a pair of red trousers . There’s something distinctly dodgy about them .

 

[iona]

I have some dark red trackies but I found them abandoned on a fence when I'd just got a homeless hostel place and didn't have many clothes yet so I reckon that puts me safely away from red trouser brigade territory

Still marginal TBF.

twentythreedom introduced me to the phrase Red Trousered Ruperts - it's a good 'un

2 point reduction imo rather than 5.

In what way?

 

[bimble]

i like corduroy trousers (in nice colours, that are not red), there's something sort of reassuring about them. But moleskin (weird name nice fabric) is great, soft but thick so they last years without going bobbly or anything.

eta like these, the purple ones obvs, but without that crease ironed down the middle of the legs that is wrong.

On the continent, some men wear red trousers, and it is a simple fashion choice.

In the UK, it's different, even if it shouldn't be. I don't make the rules.
