Red is a power color. I don't think red looks that good on a man at night, but wearing it during the day in the summer with a white shirt I think would draw some good attention to yourself if you project a casually confident attitude. One problem is that it draws attention from your face to your pants. I think one way to overcome that is to wear pale-red pants and wear a hat or other item like sharp sunglasses to try to bring equal attention to your head.

Red pants? Hell no.

Though no means will it be a "peacock" for you, I highly recommend burgundy.

Perhaps that is a good thing if you are not blessed look-wise.

This thread is interesting, but I have yet to see a link. Anyone have a link to red/burgundy pants they like?

I rarely come across red pants or chinos these days. The ones I do never seem to fit right so I haven't gotten a pair. Red pants have been on my list of items to add to my wardrobe for awhile now, but I just can't find the right pair. I wish Hudson jeans made a red pair.

^^ Agree that burgundy is a good option. It's "safer" and easier to pull off too. It's also easier to put together an outfit with burgundy - red pants can look bad/clownish if they are matched badly with the rest of the outfit.

Good link on burgundy:

I might just have to snag a pair of burgundy paints next time I re-up my wardrobe.

This is NOT how to wear red pants.



By the way, there's a blog with photos of people wearing red pants haha, most of them look pretty bad though.

Looks like red is a total disaster, quite hard to get right.

Red is awful.

Burgundy you can pull off but please don't attempt burgundy unless you have a low bf % or on the thinner side.

Menswear does tend towards more muted shades than womens'. I don't see why the darker shades of red -- burgundy, maroon, claret should be any exception.

At least in the UK and Australia, the latter colours aren't terribly fashion-forward, nor do they smack of peacocking.

Tell these men what pansies they are for their maroon trousers:





Just don't be too self-conscious of the colour.

Stay away from straight red though.

What's up with these groups of guys wearing red trousers?

Do they really make an agreement before they go to an event to wear there red pants all together?

I really like the burgundy pants suggestion; going to pick up a pair they'll be great for fall

Red pants is nice to pair with a white or black top.
