So, today I went shopping, I needed some chinos or khakis.

I found many on sale and I bought several Dockers slim fit summer khakis, the ones that are of thin cotton fabric.

The were reduced from CHF129 ( $100 ) to CHF 10 ($ 8.30 ) in several colors Khaki, Cream , Gray....

But I also bought them in Red, Green, Yellow and Orange... I am talking bright colors here. The price was unbeatable so I got them all.

Now I am wondering if I would be brave enough to wear them.

What is your opinion, would you wear them ? in which settings ? Do you also have them ?

Have they the SF approved level of gayness ?

Since your poll question included the adjective "bright", my answer is "Never"

Red and orange yes, always, year round.

But that's just me.

I probably should explain that comment. I've sold a LOT of brightly colored trousers. They never sell in US stores so they can often be bought for pennies on the dollar. When I put them on ebay at least 75% go to German buyers. They must be popular there!

Nothing else needs to be said.


I wear orange and red pants, year round. No yellow, but I would wear a mustard color. I do not own pink pants yet, but am looking to get a pair to wear in the summer with a crisp white buttondown.

I find orange to be more of a fall color. I wear green and yellow. I would buy orange pants if I found the right pair. I love pink shirts, but I don't think i'd wear pink pants.
