Old School

Back in the dark old days people seemed to put a lot more emphasis on trouser skills in general. These paintings are all of monarchs, and I guess they had an infinite amount of time and cash to spend on their look. You could argue that most of these are tights rather than trousers, but I think the general spirit is the same…

This is Louis XIII, check out the friggin‘ shoes man!?

Tight look:

I mean… imagine wearing some silky red trousers with a gold trim as you swaggered down Hackney High Street… go on, imagine it.
