Trousers for summer

Mumsnet type thread

I’m after a summer trouser 😆 but one where I don’t lose all my loose change and keys out of the pockets every time I sit down. Chinos seem to have ridiculous pockets that only work when you are standing up, and I don’t want to stand up all day.

I’m on a mountain bike forum, frequented by middle aged men full of sarcasm, asking for fashion advice. what’s the worst that could happen?

Rohan bags.

Something in a fine wool, which jacket will you be matching them with?

Hello.. Welcome to The Lifestyle Spread. We are an online-based Personal Menswear Style Blog highlighting individual style, grooming and lifestyle to the world. Enjoy your time here.

Individual eh?

What you need is HebTroCo to discover seersucker or madras plaid fabric for a curated summer weight trew.

Diggin’ those waistcoats but that’s about all. 😀

Don’t get too excited. Just because we have had a couple of warm days, doesn’t mean you need a wardrobe for it 🙂

Click my user name, we make trousers from lots of different fabrics, you can have different styles of pockets too!

Chaps

Oh yeah! Shorts with brogues. Looks great, honest 😆

Chaps

Ass less leather chaps. And nothing else.
Mmmmmmmmm. Breezy.

I’m currently quite fond of Universal Works for trousers, err… Shirts, err… Jackets, oops.

Yeah, but they’re not very “summery”. As someone above said, you need some lightweight wool or something, unless it’s for casual, in which case some kind of trekking trousers is probably a good bet.

Oh, but some of them are. Lightweight fabric, relaxed cut, pockets that keep contents inside etc.

OK. Mine are a bit itchy in warm weather 🙂

What’s wrong with just wearing shorts?

Might not be appropriate in an office type environment?

How Victorian!

Surely most modern companies have come to terms with shorts by now….

just guessing…

But from experience I don’t think they’ve reached manufacturing & distribution yet, not oop north and not for blokes anyhow
