Where do you stand on red corduroy trousers?

[HHD]

I spotted a very attractive pair of bright red cords at the weekend (Boglioli - I didn't realise they made trousers).

While the colour was quite spectacular, I'm wary of red cords as they always struck me as uniform for those hoping to be mistaken for one of the country set. Is this still the case?

Essential for Christmas.

I like BB's new red cords in the milano cut. Thinking about getting this... want to hear what others think

 

[Master Squirrel]

They are fine. Go get some.

(Pair them with a white satin Honda jacket and post picts.)

Seriously, buy them now.

I'm wearing a pair today.

I opted for electric blue, instead.

I want a pair myself.

RUST or Burnt Orange for cords,,,,, not red

 

[Nicola]

Go red.

 

[JayJay]

Not for me.

I wore a pair for a few hours and decided the color was just too much.

i concur ... cords are fall-ish ... and red is not really a fall color ... so at least for me it feel counter intuitive. burgundy and rust FTW.

however, i'm sure someone will post a pic of a sick fit with red cords to immediately make me change my mind.

i think theyre great. having a pair would look good with let say a navy peacoat. or some navy solid top. i dont know. here's one with great fabric

I have burgundy and rust orange,they are great for winter and colder days. I would be very reluctant to wear red pants.
