I just bought pink chinos, do I need an intervention?

[GraceMarks]

There are mitigating circumstances... I'm going away for a couple of days tomorrow, it's much warmer than I thought it was going to be, and I have no lightweight trousers, only jeans and cords. I went into the small local Asda, no time to go further afield, and all they had in my size was these dusky pink chinos. So I bought them, and now I feel like I've crossed some sort of line.

They are very comfortable. They are lovely and cool. But they are pink chinos. I am not slim and I fear I look like a marshmallow.

Do they have to go back?

What will you wear them with? Black sandles and a black vest /tee shirt are usual go tos with coloured bottoms.
And i'm sure you look nothing like a marshmallow!

Can you post a pic? They can be nice but I'd wear them maybe with a black t shirt and flip flops or something, don't go head to toe pink.

I’ve got bright pink chinos. I wear them with a grey long sleeve T-shirt.

I’m not generally a pink lover but these are lovely.

I definitely wouldn't wear all pink - was thinking either black t-shirt or a blue and white Breton top. Tan sandals or just navy canvas trainers.

Ahh I've been looking for some pink chinos! Thanks OP

I'd wear them with a big loose white linen shirt and brown sandals, or with a black top and black sandals. Or with a chambray/denim shirt.

I just took a picture to show Bluntness and put myself off them

Think I will just have to roll the bottom of my jeans up!

I have some pink trousers, I love them big time

Pic or it didn't happen

Oh dear, ok...

It's my thighs that always ruin clothes for me. I hate them!

I have pink girlfriend jeans. I usually wear a navy top with them. I do love in Florida, though.

Wearing a black top with coloured bottoms or vice versa always looks a bit cheap IMO.

Better to wear a charcoal grey with them or even a teal blue would work better than just black. I'd roll the legs up a fraction so they hit on your ankle bone.

I'd go with a white loose shirt.
P.S. I think you look great. I have huge thighs and my grandmas knees. I find it really hard to find trousers.
And am currently wearing skinny jeans which make me look awfully knock kneed

They are fine, the top really doesn't work with them though.

I'd go for black, or as a pp said, charcoal. More fitted. The Stripey top doesn't work at all.

I thought you were Michael Portillo until you mentioned Asda. :)

Your thighs are fine. Enjoy the fun trousers.

They're nice - I'd wear plain navy top

Thanks, but they're making me feel enormous so they will be going back. I think after the weekend I'll take them to the big Asda, where they've got more stock, and see if I can swap them for the navy ones.

The striped Breton top looks perfect with them. As would a black or a white or a grey top.

It's the styling of the top, either do a french tuck to define your shape a bit more or get a big baggy shirt (French Connection has good ones). Your thighs are fine.

They're nice. Change the top, do a French tuck and pop on some strappy flat sandals. I was expecting hideous pink but they're not.

You don't look enormous at all. My worry is that pink trousers can look a bit 'Naked from the waist down' from a distance.

I think they could work with a white broderie top and denim jacket, or with a grey top.

I really like them! Asda chinos are the only ones I have ever found that will go over my bulbous calf muscles. I might get some dusty pink ones too.

Go all out OP with an orange top. Orange looks good with pink. In for a penny, in for a pound...

I got some jeans in the same colour a couple of years ago and never wore them - they went to the charity shop with tags on. I think the problem with them is that they are too bright for English Spring but too heavy for summer

I've caught myself looking at pink chinos on Gap's website a couple of times. In my defence I'm looking for clothes for a holiday in Mallorca next month, where I want to look breezy and cool (hence lightweight trousers and springy colours) but will be trudging up hills etc, so need to be practical.

I wouldn't wear them with black; that's a bit boring. Grey or navy are still quite neutral but more interesting.

They look fine OP, much better than navy for warm weather!
