The chino style of pants originated in the American military; Soldiers would wear cotton pants that fitted slim to the body. Nowadays, it refers to a pant style that is between a smart and casual trouser style that can be dressed up or down and worn to most events. The chino is usually made from a cotton twill with elastane woven in for stretch, making it one of the most comfortable pant options available. How to Wear Chino Pants for Men The key to pulling off a chino pant is all in the colour and fit. The pant style should never be too long or too baggy, this is so the pant can elongate the leg and show some shape. The perfect chino fit should sit above the hips at the natural waist and be fitted around the knee and hips without being tight. The pant should gently taper from the knee down and sometimes gather slightly around the ankle. For more formal occasions, try a fit that mimics the look of a dress pant, making sure it sits comfortably on the hip and does not bunch. For a casual style, role the bottom cuff 1.5-2 inches up for a cuffed look. Our chino styles are available in a variety of colours for versatility and easy matching. When choosing a colour, start with neutrals like Navy, Stone, White or Black. This will allow you to have multiple outfit combinations that will be suitable for most functions when paired with the right shirt.

For a dressier take on the chino try pairing it with a sports jacket in contrasting colours, this will give effortless style and be comfortable all year round.
