I disagree, it pairs well with lots of colors just not earth tones which comprise 100% of your closet fokster. My black margiela cotton pants are some of the most versatile I own and I'm glad you guys are all too chicken to wear them.

PS. I hate earth tones.

I also just bought a gray suede jacket that should look great with them, too. I'd also wear polo shirts in the same colors, as well as darker colors like burgundy, red with black checks, etc. I, too, think it's a little too
dogmatic to say that everyone who wear black pants looks like a waiter. Ridiculous!

its the gospel truth. i would never lie about such a serious subject.
