I was drawn to this thread because I'm currently sporting a lively pair of mustard - coloured strides, having been told by Mrs BC that my turquoise ones were unacceptable.

Although I support Fulham, I'm no Rupert.

It's the 'summer' FFS, why shouldn't we mark the season with brightly coloured trouserings?

I have lime green, pale blue, yellow, bright blue, beige and several white pairs of linen trousers.
I am not a toff.

Incidentally, what would one pair with colourful chinos anyway?

Asking for a friend.
The bloke in front of me at the Liverpool game was pairing red chinos with blue crocs, I shit you not. A disgraceful colour combination, especially for a Brighton game. Two others of that group are also red trouser wearers.

I wouldn’t say they were toffs but they roll their eyes when someone on our row swears and they’re definitely not from Whitehawk.

Always amazed on trips to the test at Lords at the trouser selection of the posh folk. Plum seems a favourite, but many other weird concoctions seem ok.

Different trouser expectations for the elite, whereas jeans seem fine for most of us.
I like to spend a few days each summer watching 4 day county matches at Lords and the people watching is often more entertaining than the cricket. It must take some effort, or maybe a special app, to ensure that no clothing item matches another. The most bizarre thing is when it crosses generations and boys in their early teens also dress the same way. The wild Tory hair which looks like it has been cut with rusty shears is also a feature.

I am not sure about the assertion that brightly coloured trousers ( incidentally if one is a toff they are pronounced 'trysers') are the preserve of the posh. They are freely available in M & S after all.
