I used to have a boss that would wear denim docker type pants (with the flap pocket) in his leisure time. It was sad

I can't speak for anyone else but this does not conjure any kind of specific image in my head.

I had an old boss who wore these. His wife bought them for him. They divorced a short time afterward. Not sure if the denim chinos were involved in the divorce.

I do remember seeing those as well. Not a good look at all.

Given that he's wearing it with a neck scarf and a jacket with very unusual lapels that certainly isn't RTW, I'd have to vote avante garde. He's trying. He's really, really trying. Maybe a little too hard.
