What are Chinos?
Developed for military applications in the 19th century, Chinos are a durable, versatile bottom with deep roots in the annals of American menswear. Effortlessly adapting to casual and formal affairs, a solid pair of chinos is essential to any guy’s wardrobe. For a deep dive into the history of the style, check out our Journal on the History of Men's Chinos.
What Pant Fits Do You Offer?
We offer most of our bottoms in two discerning fits—Slim and Democratic. Our Slim fit is a classic medium rise style that tapers gently through the thigh, knee and leg, while Democratic is our version of a straight tailored fit, with a little more freedom in the thigh and knee. To learn more about our fits, check out our Fit Guide.
What Should You Wear With Chinos?
Laid-back enough to stand in for jeans and elevated enough to wear to the office, chinos may be the most versatile bottom in our wardrobe. The outfit options are endless, from classic tees to men’s Oxford shirts to rugged outerwear. So we’ve created a How To Style Chinos style guide to help simplify the process and inspire you to develop some killer combos of your own.
