Another brick in the wardrobe

This is my second take on the Alpi Chinos from Named patterns, and the result is more satisfactory. This time, I used medium-weight orange cotton purchased in MacCulloch & Wallis.

I cut a size 40 again and raised the crotch by 0.7cm. For this pair, I also enlarged the side and back pockets in order to accommodate my gigantic hands more easily. These trousers sit snug and comfortable against my body because, compared with the previous pair, they are made from thicker and non-stretch fabric. And now I want to make another pair in red denim!

When I was searching for suitable fabric samples in the shop, this playful brick-coloured cotton caught my eye immediately. Given that I've never owned any orange garments, I am not quite sure whether this colour suits me. Maybe I can try to wear these trousers with soft colours and little by little get used to it. In any case, I am not giving up!

What about you? What is your approach to wearing new colours?
