How to wear chinos | The ultimate modern style guide for men
Chinos will be the most versatile pants in your wardrobe. Before we talk about how to wear chinos, let’s talk about what they are first.
What are chinos?
Chinos are usually made with a cotton twill. Ours is made with Australian cotton and Elastane to provide a perfect pant that balances comfort and style. It is also defined by a minimal panelled detail and a tapered fit. Ultimately chinos have a softer feel and a more tailored silhouette than denim jeans.
Now that we’ve defined what chinos are, we’ll show you how to style them.
How to style chinos
Like we said, chinos are known for their versatility. From the office to your weekend plans, it works both ways.
For a casual attire, try pairing chinos with a tee and sneakers. Keep your look elevated with our travel tee that is low crease and moisture-wicking. Finish the look with a modern bomber jacket and you’re ready to take on your weekend plans.
For everyday office attire, modern dressing is the way to go. Pair our brushed twill chinos with a light knit polo and a tailored jacket. Finish the look with loafers or sneakers.
How should chinos fit?
Chinos are naturally a tapered fit. What does this mean? You want it to be loose on the thighs and gradually narrow towards your ankle. The waistband should sit on your waist without needing a belt to stay up.
Ultimately, it should feel just right—not too baggy, nor too snug. Available in Slim and Ultra Slim fit.
What colour chinos should I get?
Having a good casual pant collection is key to many outfit combinations. If you are just starting to build your chinos collection, we would suggest going for the classic colours. Black, Dark Navy and Bone will pair well with any piece in your wardrobe.
Go for an all-black look and pair your Black chinos with a black shirt and coat.
Wear your Bone chinos with a camel-coloured tee and brown loafers.
What are chino shorts?
Chinos are great for the wintertime but if the weather starts getting warmer, chino shorts are the way to go. Style these how you would your pair of chino pants and you’re good to go.
Now that you’ve been introduced to your most versatile pants, you’re ready to style your chinos. For the office, casual dinners, backyard parties or weekend getaways— chinos are an all-year, every-season piece in your wardrobe.
