I'm not sure what they look like, but the new thing, or it was when I last showed, was to wear the tan colored side zip breeches. The beige (greenish) color was going out of style as was front zip (supposedly side zip gives you a cleaner look.) Before you buy, the best thing to do is attend (watch) a big show in the area and see what everyone is wearing.
It shouldn't matter that much if you wear a $500 helmet or a $59 one, but in showing, style is thought to add points and the more you fit in, or better you look, the more likely you are to earn higher points or get noticed and stand out in a good way.
