Where do you stand on the red trousers debate?
According to a study last month by pollsters YouGov, 46 per cent of the UK don’t like red trousers; 24 per cent hate them. Yeah, well, those people are numpties. OK, red strides can occupy the Venn diagram intersection between toff and hipster (Google ‘lookatmyfuckingredtrousers’). But as Joe Ottaway, menswear stylist at Selfridges, says: ‘Coloured trousers worn instead of blue denim or khaki chinos open up many more wardrobe permutations, unlocking new looks.’ I’m firmly in the red corner. For something nouveau rouge, try Tommy Hilfiger, Gap or Urban Outfitters.
