I am somewhat incapable of making good fashion choices, so i thought i might turn to the internet for advice, since that would never let me down, right?

I have this jacket:

And i want to get some pants for it, but cant decide what colour to get. Currently i have white pants (big mistake, who would have thought that white would get dirty?)

Whatever i get they will need to be fairly baggy since the jacket is an L and i am only 5"8/155lb.

Any suggestions? Boots/bindings are black, so probably not going to get black

I am a total picky ass. I have been known spend weeks shopping at dozens of different stores just to get stuff that matches perfectly. lol Yeah...I am a girl. My jacket is pink and orange, and I ended up knitting my own beanie just to make sure that the colors matched exactly. Even bought a sports watch that matched perfectly. I am a little crazy that way. So for me to say "green" I guess I didnt take into account that not everyone is going to be as insane as I am. :giggle:

LOL thanks for the replies

I guess i had it coming when asking for opinions :D Jacket was on sale, something that tends to determine alot of my fashion purchases. Unfortunately the wife will hit the roof if i tell her i want to sell it and start again (looking for both jacket and pants)

Maybe its for the best though. I quite like those baseball jacket style jackets that were popular here (Japan) last year; team that with a set of denim type pants for a street casual look... Might work, right?

Thanks! Well as i said, she isnt a fan of me buying snowboard gear if i already have pants (she is of the "Buy once, buy good" opinion), so at the moment she is refusing to help me out here :unsure:

Mind you, she did advise me on this jacket (or at least agreed it looked ok), so according to a few here, she might not be the best person to advise me on the pants :giggle::giggle:

thanks to all the honest/painful advice i went out and bought a new jacket as well as pants (I think half of it was that i wanted a new jacket)

I'm going with this now:

The DC jacket is somewhat thinner than my North Face one, so i'll probably keep that for colder days or something. More features on the NF one as well, but i like the look of this 'street casual' setup. Wife isnt happy, but i got a great price on both of them so...
