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 the banks of Ullswater

Thank you Nick for this one. Is this fancy dress of some kind? If not, it would be interesting to know what this bloke's ruddy game is, if anyone recognises him...

  1. Note the untrustworthy footwear. I would never recommend a slick-soled brogue for lochside activities.

  2. I know this man; he wears a very tight tie knot and has senior naval connections. Not only does he prefer red trousers but also red shoes, of which he owns perhaps two dozen pairs.

  3. He has a brilliant moustache and possibly beard, too. Surprising.

  5. This man makes a fabulous Club Sandwich; served with chilled, dry rose whatever the weather.
