Why white pants?

No ideas? Please, I've been wondering for a while

Imagine white shorts and pants soaking wet.

It's December, OP. DECEMBER. Try again in July?

You mean because they get see-through, R2? Grey also becomes transparent when wet. Also pants are sometimes dry too lol

R3, I'm dreaming of summer and of sandy beaches and yachts and the eternal mystery of the white shorts has come up again 😁 Also, I promised myself I'll find the answer before leaving DL.

Bump

White pants symbolize leisure and affluence. You are not doing any work if you are wearing white pants--you probably have servants to bring you your next iced tea.

That's an interesting theory, R6!

I wouldn’t wear them now, but back in the 80s I did.

They also show every curve of your body: especially thighs, crotch and butt. Often, you could see through them so visible panty lines became a thing. Men who wore these kinds of clothes discovered the need for a new type of underwear: Skants. This were bikini briefs, very sexy and sold 3 to a tube for around $15 as I remember. That made them expensive.

Skants knew it was sexy, so it advertised in only men's magazines (as well as Cosmo and Playgirl).

This was really the first time sexy, revealling clothes were mass marketed to straight men.

"Why white pants?"

Why not?

Was it because of fashion, R8? I heard about a rich gay man in the 70s and 80s who had a yacht and indisted that ALL of the hot male crew wear white jeans shorts.

because they look wonderful against a deep tan and bright colors that also look nice with a tan. plus, white shows the slight shadow created when worn tight over a dick better than dark colors.

Bingo!

I can't believe it took a straight chick to point that out to a gay guy but, here we are

Thank you, kind straight lady, apparently I'm stupid 😉😘

White pants is an affluence thing. Insecure gays think being perfect will help them overcome their self hatred, so clean white pants show affluence. It’s like saying: I’m a self loathing gay but at least I’m richer than you.

Not that hard to figure out.

Well, all started with this outfit and its original spangled white shorts. There was an incident that involved the baton and some heavy staining, but I wouldn’t feel right going into greater detail until after Memorial Day.

R17 oh dear lord in heaven!!!

I still have white pants, because I live in a place that's as hot as fucking hell in summer, I bought pants made of breathable white 100% linen. They're loose fit, sort of like the ones in the picture, and look very casual. They look great with a cotton shirt in a color, and when it's hot as fucking hell outside, 100% linen and cotton are actually cooler than going naked!

Of course, the white pants of the seventies were different than today's cool ivory linens, the white pants of the seventies were worn very tight, and were a bright arctic white and really caught the eye. It was a way to stand out, the bright white pants looked great with the bright colors of the era, they really showed off the figures of both sexes, and the bulges of men.

There was a fad for white satin pants for women in the seventies, which was strictly for the coke-thin.

when I think of men in white pants or shorts I think of jeans. feathered hair and white jeans.

Linen pants are the best for hot weather but they crease like a bitch.

And Freddie always looked amazing in his tighty whities. "That's not a can of coke, baby! It's all mine!"

Don't forget Navy men.

White slacks (when tight) show off the basket so much better.

I thought white jeans were cheap, I had a lovely pair of cream skin tights in 1982.

The illusion of purity.

Fashion has NOT changed, OP.

Of course, there were a FEW men who wore tight white satin pants during the seventies...

R17 And he thought nobody knew he was the queeniest queen who ever queened?

r29, everybody knew and then the Mirror really effed up in the libel trial. Old American grannies believed he was maligned.

That is hilarious r30. I wonder if they would still think that if they saw r17’s photo.

All the straight guys are wearing white pants and high heels! The ladies love it!

I once saw a good-looking man in white pants get pushed into a pool. It was evident he wasn't wearing underwear when he climbed up the pool's ladder. He had a large dark patch of pubic hair and the head of his cock pressed against his leg. He attempted to pull the white cloth away from his crotch but it kept returning. After a while, he gave up trying. No one had a heart attack and hotel management didn't come out to address him.

I thought it was hot!

OP what the fuck is wrong with you? How the hell do you even manage to use a computer let alone post on Datalounge? You are one of the rudest son of a bitches I’ve ever encountered on here in years. There’s already been a thread on this OP. As a matter of fact, you selfish asshole, there have been several threads on this, but ohhhh nooooo “I don’t have to do a search” says Mister Head Up His Ass. Well pull your fucking head out of your ass for once in your life you selfish son-of-a-bitch and have some consideration for others for a change and do a goddamn search first. Is that going to kill you? Is it? Can you just answer that question? Can you? Is it really going to kill you to do a search first? What is wrong with you? Are you that much of an idiot that you can’t use Google? Don’t even try the old “search function doesn’t work” line because every cunt on here knows how to work around that. Do a search before you post a thread next time you fucking asshole. You’ve ruined my day and I hate you.

Happy Holidays to you, too!

Sly at about 1.5/2 mins inti this shows why white pants are not always a bad thing.

LMAOO @ R35

Finally some creativity before Christmas 🎄

Sounds sporty and summery.

Tennis, yuppies, '80s, etc. ...

This is why:

Here’s the wildly heterosexualist Ralph Lifshitz making white shorts look so, so straight.

Oh, what a heterosexual man, R41!!

So, are you telling me that, in the past decades, tight/short white pants were code for gay?

I am in the crowd here somewhere, but there is a man in white trousers morris dancing about half way through!

The OP has never watched "Leave it to Beaver"

You can not wear white in winter.

r45

No, you can wear white whenever

I understand the white, but not the tight.

ahem...
