a husky guy in black silk pants
Perhaps "thin black silk pants" might be better, since "拷绸" is a type of silk fabric that is particularly suited for wear in summertime. By definition, 拷绸 is dyed using dye from the plant 薯莨 (Dioscorea cirrhosa), which should be red, but the author for some reason seems to be specifically indicating here that the pants are black. Perhaps the author is confusing 黑拷绸 with 黑胶绸 (https://baike.baidu.com/item/莨绸/5678151?fromtitle=黑胶绸&fromid...
