I had to watch Songs Of Praise the other week. There were people wearing jeans. That never happened back when I went to church. I didn't see any chinos on the programme FYO.
I have one pair, which fit the gap between formal and informal wear. Unfortunately a lot of my meetings I attend are 'Smart casual - No denim'. Chinos and cords are the only real alternatives unfortunately.
Almost the same. Wearing a suit at work would get me strange looks unless meeting specific clients. Our policy is smart casual, so chinos are the best option with a jacket, shirt, shoes and definitely no tie. No way in hell would I wear cords. Gay fad PLT? lol that says more about you than anyone wearing chinos. The top knots are not a gay thing either btw, they're a dickhead thing.
I know they're not acceptable in a "Smart Casual Business Setting". Although, strangely, cord jeans might be. I still wouldn't wear them.
I also own some red corduroys...it is entirely possible that I'd been drinking prior to the purchase. I did wear them once...but not in this country
Sorry to derail this thread Bur doesn't anyone know what, if anything, was going on yesterday that OLM mentioned?
