a couple of years back where the theme was "posh twats", to take the piss out of the Stag who is basically a massive social climber and pretend-posho (despite actually coming from a comprehensive like the rest of us). So everyone promptly turned up in red trousers, white shirts, and tweed jackets.

Red trousers denoted the wearer being a follower of Bhagwan. I've associated red trousers with gullible dimwits ever since.
