Lately I have been having a debate with an acquaintance over his predilecion for white trousers, which have the advantage of glowing different colours under the dance club lights. Is thi a legitimate excue for wearing them? Are they better or worse than vinyl faux leather trousers?

Oh what the hell, I am never going to wear them, I'd look like I was freshly upholstered

The only person that white pants have ever looked good on is Dave Gahan. They looked far better than the rest of him in fact. Most people should not even look at them in the store however - it's a bad thing. I'm theory, there's nothing wrong with vinyl. In practice, err...

Once I'm back to fighting weight, I plan to get some wild stripey pants that I will only wear with solid colour turtleneck sweaters (because I'm not crazy you know) and I have better sense than to put stripes on this flabby bummy wummy that I've got right now.

mostly i would say white trousers = dud whether on a boy or a girl, especially in our jason's case. however, i know a young man named peter who can pull them off. probably cos he's gay.

Surely, they get dirty very easily...you wanna be washing them all the time? Bizarre!

Absolutely hideous. Wrong. Bad. BAD BAD BAD. A boyfriend (bastard bastard) in college wore white jeans once when I had to take him back into college to pick up my bag. My friends larffed and I do not blame them. I got angry at him. Very angry. But to be honest, by then, even his FACE made me angry the stupid bastard tee hee I am lovely. But he was a a loser. It's impossible to respect someone in white jeans.

CAN YOU IMAGINE the carnage of spilling cranberry bacardi breezer ACCIDENTALLY tho? And if you were a lady and yr time of the month were approaching urgh urgh ugh yuck MING. That is just ONE MORE of the MANY reasons they are bad to the b-b-b-bone.

― Sarah, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes but I'm not a lady Sarah so I need only worry about my piles leaking.

― Tom, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

White jeans make man-nappies necessary.

― Sarah, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

White trousers = ugh.

― Ally, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They are the worst. But I honestly haven't seen anyone wear them in ten years at least, do they even make white jeans anymore?

― Nicole, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What about when Richey Manic wore em eh, Ally?

Manics = townies.

I am glad that when I had my most critical respect hem hem not MADNESS for them that they were warming their best army clothes from Terry and Dawn Famous's Army and Navy Store.

MY band is of course only going to dress in fun-fur.

― Sarah, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They didn't look good on Richey, which just goes to show how bad white is. It just looks a lot trash in my eyes, it reminds me of terrible trash girls with big hair and bad makeup (blue eyeshadow!) and spandex shirts with belts over them. Ugh.

― Ally, Thursday, 18 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just say NO, kids. They are a terrible terrible thing. People who live in Bicester probabaly still wear them. I used to have a pair of sky blue jeans. I never wore them.

Best description of white trousers I ever heard was in a random MM comment in 1995 or so saying that Queen's fanbase would forever remain a bunch of Essex boys wearing white jeans who always believed that the rumors about Freddie weren't true.

they are what old librarians wear. they don't make old librarians look good or bad at all, yet of course they would make young people wearing them look like old librarians. i don't like them but i generally prefer dark colors or black and red to light ones anyway.
