It hides their seamen very well.

Because they follow the summer season around the globe. Summer is the time for white pants.

Why are jeans blue? It's just the way it is.

To remind them of their diapers because they're acting out their little boy fantasies.

They don't. If you have never seen an exception then look around.

I think you mean…"Why do white pants appear on yachts with men in them?"

It is tradition that "uniform of the day" in the nautical world is "whites" between Memorial Day (sometimes Easter) and Labor Day. "Blues" after Labor Day but before Memorial Day (with "Whites" for Easter service). Khakis and Dungarees (jeans) are appropriate year round as a "working" attire.

Simply tradition.

Same reason we wear a white sports coat (instead of tuxedo jacket) to summer formal affairs.

The white color reflects heat whereas dark colors absorb them. In the summer, we'd like to reflect as much heat as possible – especially if on deck without AC.

I have seen white yachts and white pants, but never a yacht wearing pants with men on board.
