Red Trouser and varying shades of, Brigade?

sillav nitram

I’m sure most of us have been aware of the Red Trouser Brigade for sometime now, I know I have, they are a minority admittedly. Walking past Lords tonight I saw a few emerging.

Aside from sporting the same coloured trousers, these particular fashion models attending the cricket were also wearing similar blazers and ties, that though could be the Lords effect?

I did at one time think half heartedly that they belonged to a secret society, bit like the Masons but more secret.

I’ve  just asked ChatGBT, this question and this is what came back.

No, men wearing red trousers do not necessarily belong to a secret society. The color of one's trousers is not indicative of membership in any particular group or organization. Red trousers, like any other clothing item, can be a fashion choice made by individuals based on personal preference, style, or cultural influences. While there may be certain groups or societies that have specific dress codes or uniform requirements, the color of trousers alone is not enough to determine membership in a secret society.

I don’t agree, I prefer my secret club theory;) 

Anyone else have any thoughts on this minority of the population and if they’re a minority should we ridicule and discriminate against them and drive them from this fair isle of ours?;)

Of course, if Charlie does take up a position in the boardroom we may be able to get an answer straight from the 🐴 👄?

Me and my wife call them "FRTs" though that's mainly because neither of us are very nice.

Do the trousers have to be a certain material? Plenty of red/wine cords at National Hunt meetings along with mustard and green.

Pray tell me what is wrong with red trousers? I have various shades of red/maroon in cords, moleskins and chinos.

You all need to get with the on trend fashion!

I've got a pink pair of Ralph chinos, had em a few years now. Also got a light "baby" blue pair. Thought the pastel colours had come in and gone out again, but I might give em an airing after reading this. Go just right with the new Sebago Docksiders that just turned up, second time of asking, after the DPD driver nicked the first pair, allegedly.

😹 Thanks. I must get a pair now. I’ve clearly been missing out and letting my stylish looks slip.

Pastel colours work whilst on the Côte d’Azur but not so in Woolwich 🥸

I’m glad to say, I have no idea what the two of you are talking about.

I think many men as they get older become more confident in wearing brighter colours. However, and I don't know why, red trousers is one thing at which I draw the line.

It is a bit weird really how men are happy to wear brightly coloured shirts, t-shirts and waterproofs, but just stick to jeans or beige trousers down below.

They should whack 500% VAT on red trousers

I wear a lot of Hawaiian shirts. The only trousers I have that aren't black/grey/beige are dark green. Bright colours below the waist just don't work IMO. And they might clash with the shirt
