The mystery of pants

[west]

I suggest animals not to participate in the poll (unless you wear humans' clothing) since animal colour options often vary from human selections and might disturb the outcome. Plus you're probably colorblind.

Why am I asking? Because it often troubles me if the selection of pants is a learned thing or does it tell something about the carrier's personality. If you do not feel too embarrassed of revealing your secrets, you should take a look at the stereotypes listed below and see if you feel it is true with you. Groups of people with the same preferences might discuss their personalities and see if they have something in common with each other. Also, have your parents, children, pets or some other person affected what kind of pants you use?

Common stereotypes:

Wearing plain white is a sign of stupidity, or trying to cling to it. White is a symbol of purity. There are people that should not wear white pants because they're just going to drop food or other staining materials on it, and then everyone will think you're a slob who can't take care of yourself. Dork.

Wearing light colours is considered girlish, especially if they're pastels, but also is favored by metrosexuals, gay people, and those who don't care that they look like idiots. Also easy to stain but less easy than plain white. People of this group want to experience new things by wearing pants that look like flowers

Those that wear khakis are natural, business-like people. They think that pants are only a necessity we must bear. No one ever notices them because they blend in with many articles of furniture, so they are the obvious choice of young professionals and prep-school kids everywhere. Casual, yet classy. Businessmen, College students, tech geeks?

Those that wear dark pants are classy individuals who enjoy dressing up. Or they just want something that goes with everything. Geeks, Goths, Businesspeople, colorblind?

Bright red is the colour of passion, romantic, in some cases even considered immoral. Powerful, striking, sexual. If you wear red pants you'd better be Santa Clause or you ain't comin' near me.

People who wear jeans are normal. These versitile, durable garments can range from the strictly utilitarian to the $200/pair designer wear of the stars. And mostways inbetween. If you wear jeans, you probably only have two legs. Humans, wookies, monkeys?

Some people choose not to wear pants at all. This is known as "going pantsless". Some people prefer it for comfort. Scotsmen, women, exhibitionists, animals?

I put my vote in black, as most of my trousers are black. I do wear kahki green and navy blue BDUs as well. I also have two kilts(a proper tartan one and a black leather untili-kilt).
The Goth stereotype is pretty right, except alot of goths also wear kilts.

How's that utilikilt working for you? I've strongly considered getting one.

[Antichrist_Online]

Very good actually. Really comfortable. You need high boots or socks with it though in the winter, I wear cavalier boots so I can roll the tops up when its cold. I'd suggest getting a separates sporan though, the fixed ones aren't as good.

Edit to rebuke Nick: YES I SEE THE POINT, I was just answering his question about none pants.

[Nick]

Is it just me, or does Antichrist not get the point of this topic?

[nitefyre]

But Nick- pants are a serious business!

Right now I have on a set of cargo khakis, first thing I saw in the mornin', or perhaps to looks like one of those british imperialists people that I reference beige pants to.

I have a set of green cargo pants, which I'll probably wear tomorrow because I see it hanging up over there. Perhaps a general army infantry feel?

Ah my jeans, where be they all? *sighs* Dark blue jeans.

And of course, I have a light pair of black pants, for the goth feel, for those days. Or heck, why not break all black out for a Samurai, eh?

Due to the seriousness of the topic, I will not elaborate on the administrator we affectionately refer to as "pants" for he wears his pants and up to just above his socks, and walks around mischeviously hunchbacked. I wish I only had a photo.

[Sunni Daez]

Got a problem tho...... I must wear white pants to work, and I am certainly not dumb. so it is white for 5 days of the week. !!

[Sparkle]

Well, like *twirls her hair around her finger* I'm a jeans girl myself.

I find myself with quite a dilemma concerning pants. I only have one pair that is not ripped to shreds/ too small/ just plain terrible. This didn't used to be an issue because I would wear shorts, but it's beginning to get rather cold. Frankly, too cold for shorts.

So I am at a crossroads. What sort of pants shall I buy myself as I remedy this pants shortage? Do I go for the the idiot look? Goth? Businessman? Or do I bypass pants altogether and get myself a set of kilts? All the possiblities unfold before me. What do people suggest?

[Mavsfan911]

Denim, jeans....etc....
Actually, I like em best if they're about 3 sizes too big.

Hemp trousers. Trust me.

[ephiroll]

Guess I'm normal, I stick to Levi's and Jenco's, mostly because of durability and comfort.

Denim. Jeans. I can't remember the last time I ever wore a skirt
