While being lazy and putting off my laundry for far longer than I should, I realized something. The Germans don’t wear khaki pants.
I was forced to wear some slacks after using up all my jeans and suddenly noticed a few random people staring at me as if I had a tumor growing out of my ass. I couldn’t figure out why. Then for whatever reason I looked around and slowly
came to realize why I had become a pariah.
About 70% of the people were wearing Jeans.
20% were wearing black pants
9% were wearing some sort of green pants
And then there was me and the old crazy guy who were sporting the khakis. I felt out of place. As if I had walked into town with no pants on. Now, I’m not one for fasion and I wouldn’t really care, but it’s hard to explain the stares people were giving me.
So, please take note, Khakis are a no go in Deutschland.

I wear them often – no strange looks yet. Must have been something else

Maybe it’s an east German thing… or some weird khaki less region.

Ha! The Philippines is slowly becoming like Germany. I’m fond of khaki pants
, actually.

I had many articles about khaki pants. I am fond of khaki casual dress pants (khaki casual slacks) but not khaki jeans. Anyway, my response post about your post is here, but this one is in Filipino. I will try to translate this in English as soon as I can. http://chtchronicles.hollosite.com/web/news/article.php?2009,gterjadkakiye,chronicles_0217_01
