opinions if this looks like a costume
Just wanted to hear other thoughts on these pair of trousers from Polo. I'm into trad/preppy style, but I'm not sure if there's too much going on with these khakis.

These look like the most inoffensive pair of pants besides like a pair of jeans
I was just concerned with the pleat+ticket pocket it would be a bit much, but I appreciate the feedback
99% of people will just see a pair of tan pants
Iād say the double pleats and ticket pocket make these chinos better than normal flat front ones if anything
Actually adds a lil detail/interest to otherwise boring pants
Buck Mason has a non-pleated version of these (Officer Pants, eyeing them yesterday). They're all over, and definitely not a costume unless you cosplay them up
bro what do you mean by cosplay them up
these are just pants
honestly i think the ticket pocket makes it cool š¤·
they're only a costume if you treat them like one. if you like them buy them and put that shit on
***maybe check ebay first to find a deal
he asked if they look like a costume, I said they won't unless he wants them to, that's all
sorry
that came off as needlessly aggressive
Thanks for the help guys
Idk how I'd even cosplay them up, but I'd "have" to probably tuck them in whenever I wore them. Seems weird to wear these type of pants and not tuck them in
I was leaning into the military background of them. If you wore those with heavily-military styled other pieces, there's a thin line between looking great or your costume question
As for the tucking in, for most things, sure. But you could also wear a tank or tshirt tucked or not, and then an open shirt over it. Chambray would be an easy match imo. They're pretty versatile
check #waywt and to a degree #inspiration for fits; people of people are wearing pleated khakis
I'd most likely wear it with either polos, button downs, or tees. I'm not too complex when it comes to making a fit š
My sorta end goal is to resemble vintage Polo ads from the 80s and 90s
Which then may look like a costume, which is a fine line to walk
if you like the look just embrace it š it might be hard if you're not used to looking like that but it gets easier with time. tl;dr
These are the pants that come with the default character pack
They're a pretty blank slate that you could turn in many different directions so I wouldn't say that they are costumey. They'd look equally fine with a blazer in true trad style or with a tucked in white t-shirt + denim jacket for a more heritage Americana look
Idk if that's supportive or negative but fair
for real to people that don't hang out here they're just gonna look like pants
and to people that do hang out here they'll look like cooler pants
That was a bit facetious, sorry š
. What I meant was they are very neutral, and are unlikely to draw much attention
I assumed so dw lol, but yeah I agree
These are cool af
Love little pockets like that. What do back pockets look like?
Just a classic polo rear with 1 flap pocket. These are inspired by Polo Dry Goods chinos which I believe were an early to late 80s genre of chinos for Polo
Historically most chinos are flat front, specially for ivy style, while some dress pants are pleated.
