The Best Men’s Chinos to Elevate Any Outfit
The humble chino should be in everyone’s closet. It’s such a versatile pant — you can buy the same pair in different colors and have a unique outfit for each. They are distinctly the anti-jean, made from cotton that’s pressed but not rigid. Chinos add a bit of polish to any outfit, elevating your everyday look above the jeans-and-T-shirt formula. A crisp pair of chinos in a neutral (or bold) color can help round out or elevate a wardrobe that may feel bogged down by things you only pair with denim. Instead, a chino can give a more modern, sophisticated feel to even the simplest of outfits.
Wearing chinos can feel at home in a casual wedding outfit, a polished but not overly dressy look for work, or a weekend errands uniform. We’ve rounded up recommendations in different fits, styles, and price points to give you a glimpse at all the best options before decide which one works for you and your wardrobe.
