From South Ken to Shoreditch, from Jermyn Street to Mare Street – these days anyone that’s anyone is wearing red trousers.
If you want your leg-coverings to let the world know that you’ve got a few quid and don’t care who knows it, or that you have some big ideas about what’s on at the ICA right now - or simply that you are completely insane (but in a mainly non-stabby way) - then you’d better get your wife or girlfriend to take those jeans and chinos down to the charity shop post-haste!
Because there’s only one type of trousers you’ll be wanting to wear, and that’s RED TROUSERS. In fact - if you can’t wear red trousers you’d be better off wearing NO TROUSERS AT ALL. That’s what I say.

On a mission
They can seem unremarkable, but I bloody love pictures like this. An affluent man in late middle-age wears his RTs for a bit of purposeful striding along an average city street. Simple and beautiful.
One is simply affording pleasure. being in harmony with ones tastes so to say. If a man cannot see this is whats happening here, he's strongly recommended to visit the Opticians in the background.
Summertown, oxford. outside the dewdrop pub.

ReplyDeleteSummertown, Oxford - not your average city street I'm afraid. Affluence a-go-go
ReplyDeleteProbably striding back to the optician to get a refund for those glasses that promised to correct his colour blindness
