Incredible European Coloured Trousers...why?

As we travelled throughout Europe, we noticed many things....

the fine cities, the wonderful museums, brilliant artwork and sculptures, amazing history, etc etc....
One of the most amazing things we saw though, were incredibly brightly coloured trousers!

Which led to the inevitable question....Why?


Let's start with this stylish pair of bright yellow trousers in Arles, southern France.










Must have been a job lot on these duds, in Carcassonne.




We honestly didn't think people really wore lederhosen in Germany, but yes indeed, as we live and breathe!










Disco Stu, in Berchtesgaden, Germany....not so much a stupid pair of duds as a stupid haircut.









This is possibly somewhat unfair as these guys must wear this kit, as they are the Swiss Guards at the Vatican and well, in reality, at least they are interesting.









Here's another bright yellow pair of duds, this time from Venice, which features heavily here. These duds are all from sunny Venice!





















Venice in fact, was a hotbed of crazy coloured trousers for some reason.











This pair of trousers were seen in Verona, Italy.


Vienna, Austria, was the venue for these two entries in the daft trousers competition....the yellow pair, looking closely, are actually pin-striped no less.



So, maybe it's just us, but why, oh why, are people wearing these incredibly coloured trousers?
