and buy these: the Scotchie Pant
They are so-named because, in red, they are the Scotch College track pant. Scotch College boys would lend/give their track pants to their girlfriends to wear; I guess as a token of "going together". And a trend started.
Note the correct footwear that our model (Queenie) is wearing (although to be totally correct they should be Havaianas).
Yes, I know they're baggy; Yes, I know they are not flattering for your bigger boned girl (our model is reed thin); but clearly love has no bounds and now a generation of girls are wearing them. They now not only come in school colours but in "fashion" colours as well (the fashion colours are more expensive).
Once you know about them you notice teenage girls wearing them everywhere. Horrifyingly, we even saw a mum wearing a coral-coloured pair at the Observatory Cafe, South Yarra, last week.
They are a best seller at Dobsons. I bet they can't believe their luck.
They look comfy, but would you wear these (in public)?

Let me think about that for a moment.....ah, NO.
Will not be tempted to wear a pair (in public) especially not in coral.
(Although the new season's flouros were *interesing*.)
Thanks for the fashion tip , M! Think those trendy Melbournites should give the Toorak Rd and Chapel Street boutiques a miss and head straight to Dobsons.
Ah yes, Dobsons is the place to go. As hinted by Fairlie above, we got a preview of next season's fluoro fashion colours. Lime green, anyone? Or perhaps "safety vest orange"?
Seasonal update: I spotted a pair today (in the traditional Scotchie red) being worn with ugg boots. Uggs are perhaps the cold weather alternative to Havaianas?
We'll need an updated photo for the new season's trend then...
scotchies are hot..
i have royal blue & purple except my purple ones are bonds.
i wear them in public
but like everyone has them so its not like people are going to look at you funny because youre wearing them although i wouldnt consider wearing them with ugg boots =S
