For the old school (advance apologies):

More worrying is men who wear salmon coloured trousers. I've seen two incidences of this in recent days.

Depends on the cut, if it looks 'old man' like your image shows I would tend to agree. But a more modern cut, espadrilles, no socks, nice t-shirt, sipping a cool one in the south of France, I'd find very acceptable.

Why do actual men wear Rupert Bear checked trousers?

In my younger days, I had a pair of green, white and salmon pink checked trousers. I wore them once and realised what a horrible mistake I'd made - they looked like Wallace Chesney's strides (© PG Wodehouse).

We've all done things we're embarrassed about ...

Does Rupert the Bear wear check trousers because he's a mean, tight-arsed w*****r?

Punchline: Small cheques ]checks]

Take it or leave it

I think if you're a male aged over fifty, the rules are that you may wear whatever coloured trousers you like. Teamed, ideally, with a shirt & a cravat in a jarringly clashing colour. The Henry Blofeld (or the aforementioned Michael Portillo) look.
