Friday Challenge May 8th 2015: The odd white trouser challenge (including off-white and light cream)

[EFV]

Last week's challenge was won by @Gino Abruzzo & I. So, we've had to agree on a subject for this challenge. Wasn't much of a problem, since I loved Gino's first suggestion: "Odd white trouser challenge". It's a great look when done right and it seems congruent with the approaching spring in most of the SF active parts of the world. We do realize that bright white may exclude too many potential posters, so we will allow off-white and light cream trousers as well. This will hopefully include a few Aussies in cream flannels as well. The rules: 1. Outfit must include a sport coat/blazer/CM compatible top half + white/off-white/light cream trousers 2. Outfit must be worn this week. 4. Poll goes up Sunday evening Swedish time. Inspiration (BnTailor, Armoury, PJohnson):

I'm really looking forward to seeing the submissions for this one.

 

[Betelgeuse]

I will need to just be sure that the trousers I have are accepted, if so, I'm in.

White and off-white pants have always been a favorite look with a blue blazer. I'm looking forward to seeing the combinations.

 

[justridiculous]

Would white denim be okay for a CM look?

Look at Taka rocking the beat up desert boots. That's a cool look....even if everything is too small. M

I'm out....no white pants for me.

It is a cool look but the inseam is crazy short. Actually I like how his boss is wearing a colorful scarf as an ascot/bandana.

 

[Murlsquirl]

Yep, he's the best looking one of the bunch.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Do this trousers qualify?

Wrong post...

 

[GMMcL]

Huh. Today would have been the right day here in my area to do it -- hot. May pull something together for Friday. We'll see....
