Basic rules for wearing your chino trousers well

Before putting together any looks featuring chinos, we need to look at a few of the basic rules to ensure that you are stylish in your chino trousers.

Choose the best chino trousers for your body type

Let’s remember that chinos are comfortable trousers first developed by the military, with a variety of cuts as well as versions made of thicker materials for the winter. Their cut, which is generally fairly close fitting, suits most body types.

However, you need to be careful with more baggy models, which are similar to combat trousers. They are generally manufactured with pockets on the sides, and this type of trousers will make your figure appear wider. They are therefore best avoided if you are very slim or heavily built..

Choosing quality chino trousers

Pay attention to every detail of your chino trousers to ensure that you look your best:

• Check the quality of the stitching and the trimmings;
• Look carefully at how the trousers are made and the material they are made of (cotton is best);
• Pay attention to buttons, zips etc.

Select the right colours

One thing we know for sure is that chino trousers are very fashionable. A wide variety of colours are available to provide you with plenty of choice.

In order to be sure that you make the right choice and go for trousers that you can match with all the items in your wardrobe of menswear, opt for darker colours. Navy blue and beige, for example, are both timeless basic colours! They allow you to put together a number of different looks quite easily.

The next thing to remember is to add a pair of khaki chinos to your wardrobe – an absolute must-have! They are perfect for a rebellious and trendy look.

Maroon chinos are a slightly less classical option, and they provide an extra touch of chic to your look.

Flashier colours are reserved for people with daring dress sense! They are perfect for spicing up your spring and summer outfits, along with a pair of trendy sneakers.
