[Closed] Those narrow leg/tapered Chino type things.

They're really cool

Wait you're under 21 years of age right

I seem to have aqcuired a pair from gap on impulse.

I now find I only own 'trail' type merrel trainers and they look duff so I've got to budget for some new footwear.

[they're not *really* skinny. And I'm 45. will I be laughed at by young people?]

Being deeply unfashionable, I have no idea what you mean. Pics?

You mean Jodphurs right?

I believe they are for hipster wannabees who have spent slightly too long on the ipie diet to fit in their sisters jeans.

Photos!

mrsconsequence looks good in them, are you mrsconsequence?

no.

no you're not.

silly boy

They are ****ing awful 45 year olds have no business wearing them 🙂

*shakes head*

"No, dad"

*rolls eyes*

I haven't a clue what you're talking about but intuition tells me you'll like like a **** in them.

Darcy, I'll buy some hareem pants if you do?

correct jon

Roll them halfway up your calf and wear in conjunction with a pair of Espadrills 😯

like this but dark green and without the rolled up legs.

(frankly, I should have kept quiet, shouldn't I)

I would have thought, and I don't really know what he's talking about, but wouldn't a nice pair of brown brogue style booties with an intricate yet fashionably correct lacing pattern be better suited, wouldn't you?

They're not as bad as the ones i thought you meant (baggy arse and elasticated bottoms)

tops - those are hareem pants, I'm going to get a massive baggy cardigan to go with mine. 🙂

don simon - I was think a nice pair of brown boots from Jones Bootmakers.

i'm out of touch 🙄

I'm saving up for a corduroy jacket (sans leather sleeve patches) to go with them 😉

Please not those unlaced - up boots that the yoof team up with them

Jones Bootmakers? They love their shoe care, there. No amount of leather treatment will stop the soles coming off though.

Something like this...

this sort of thing;

(fully laced)

I think I've probably got far enough into my sartorial (or otherwise) choices for a public forum...

[edit] close d s - bit too 'tan' for my taste, though.

Much more acceptable - that's what I should be wearing now I have crested 40 rather than old school trainers 🙂

EDIT: not those bottom ones!

*Shakes head in despair*

Brogue Troopers!

[i]*Shakes head in despair* [/i]

😳

see, I knew I'd got too personal.

and the jones website is broke - it's askign for a login on every page as one of the images is on a protected server...

I saw someone wearing a pair of them a while ago. I'm sorry, i thought of one thing....

Am I banned?

the boots or the chinos?

the boots were just an example not an actual purchase decision, honest guv.

TBH I'm not sure if brown boots are the way forward, I'm still trying to get people to understand that black boots with a suit IS acceptable.

Apparently, she married that blind kid with a hole in his head

From Uniqlo DD?

for the record, i can confirm I didn't think of darcy (or indeed any other STW keyboard warrior) wearing tight leg chinos and think 'spastic'. Partly because I realise that word is unacceptable [and i apologise], but mainly because it doesn't convey adequately what i really thought.

Brown boots ok, but only before 6pm

You ok theotherjonv? You appear to be having some kind of breakdown? 8)

These;

black boots with a suit is fine. Brown looks a bit 'Ken Clarke'.

Man you have got to be joking!

I've just posted up about this FFS. What would [url= http://www.michael84.co.uk ]Michael 84[/url] say?

Theotherjonv? Are you saying that chinos are a bit errr, chinny?

The top of his home page appear to be an 'omage to cheap english/foreign language dictionaries, I didn't look any further.

Jesus, this made page 2 quickly. Hang on while I find a pic. I also have some brown brogue boots to go with them. 🙂

EDIT: Having read the posts, some of them are a bit cruel. 😐

Are these those things with that look like chinos but with an elasticated cuff round the ankle?
Usually worn with espadrilles?

If so then you look like a douche, but you knew that anyway right?

You mean these don't you?

"Mustard Drop Crotch Chinos"

I'm going to have to side with the style challenge majority on this board. They're wrong. On anyone. And those who do wear them are wrong un's. Wrong un's that go down West Street on a Saturday night. Send them back.

No elasticated cuff 😯

They're only for if you have the shits.

they're pyjamas, aren't they?

skinny jeans

only for the skinny-hipped fashionistas

ie not the denizens of stw - especially not the ones who ask whether they should. Dad.

So they are just chinos then, but with a slimmer cut?

Nowt wrong with that.

And a baggy crotch

[i]Nowt wrong with that.[/i]

*phew*

I don't have a baggy crotch, btw, and neither do my trousers.

To be worn with loafers and no socks

They seem to be all the rage at teh local 6th form when i passed last week. Happily the fashion amongst the girls is for tiny hot pants (mainly denim) and knee socks

I nearly crashed

I think they look cool, in a anti fashion sort of way. the shoes have that whole antique thing going, nice.

I'd snog you 😆

*rushes off to buy similar outfit and pout in anticipation*

La la la. I've turned emsz. 😀

No you haven't Just once and no tongues, and you'll have to buy me chips first. 😆

Later my lovelies, GF is waiting at home.

for the record, the brogue boots remind me of the collecting box.

Those chinos are far, far worse.
