How to Style Chinos: 8 Outfit Ideas for Men
One pair of well-fitting chinos can anchor half your wardrobe. The colors to own are khaki, navy, and olive — they match nearly everything.
The fit to buy
- A slim or straight cut with a slight taper
- A mid or high rise that sits at the natural waist
- No excess fabric pooling at the ankle
- Flat-front for a cleaner, more modern line
