Dudes in chinos

CHINOS trousers are essential items of clothing in men’s wardrobe. They are an ideal alternative to denim jeans. This is because of their casual, smart look. They are versatile and easy to dress up or dress down.

Tips to know on how to get the best chinos

• Before you buy a pair of men’s chinos, opt for 100 per cent cotton, especially in hot seasons, because it will give room for your skin to breathe comfortably in the heat.

• The best men’s chino trousers have four pockets – two front slanted pockets and two back jet pockets. Slimmer guys may prefer tailored fit chinos, which are slightly more tapered down the trouser legs for a more fitted appearance.

• For a casual appearance, good polo shirts or t-shirts are great with chinos. If you are wearing for formal occasion, go for a casual shirt, such as a short sleeve or long sleeve shirt.

• Blazers are also nice with chinos trousers to give a smart-casual look. With the proper shirt and appropriate shoe, you will look cool and confident.
