Given the choice of trews or breeks I would choose breeks!

At least to me trews never look right somehow, hard for me to explain why I guess, maybe it's because I wore them in my childhood.

Nobody is going to suggest that we adopt the dress of the polite Edinburgh society of Burns' time though, at least I hope not
