How To Wear Chinos
Just like other types of clothing, the style and fit of chinos have evolved over time. In recent years, chinos have tended to be much slimmer than the original versions. Regardless of the current trends, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind.
Choosing the Right Colour
When it comes to colour, you can never go wrong with classic shades like khaki or navy. Neutral and earthy tones are always a safe bet, but this is also an opportunity to express your personal style preferences. Opting for a mid to high rise is generally more flattering, especially if you plan to wear your chinos with a sports jacket. Men's chinos are probably the most versatile trousers you can own. They can be dressed up with a sports coat, shirt, and tie, paired with well-polished Oxford shoes, or dressed down with just a t-shirt and trainers. This versatility makes them perfect for most modern work environments (including working from home) or school settings, as well as being a reliable choice for off-duty days. You can have your John Henric chinos tailored to your preferred length or wear them rolled up. Whether paired with a jacket, shirt, knitwear, or t-shirt, chinos offer almost endless styling possibilities.
Keeping it classic
Pairing chinos in a neutral colour with a navy jacket, a crisply ironed dress shirt, and a subtle tie creates a classic and professional look. A unique print pocket square can add that extra touch of individuality.
Casual preppy
Khaki chinos are the quintessential choice and can be paired with nearly anything. Layering a V-neck jumper over a subtly patterned shirt and tie adds visual interest, creating a versatile and modern preppy look that suits many occasions.
Cashmere coziness
A cashmere turtleneck jumper paired with chinos offers the ultimate in comfort while maintaining a sophisticated edge. Opting for colours like rust, green, and other earthy tones imparts a warm and inviting vibe, exuding a casual yet composed appeal.
Smart casual
The navy chinos and the light blue button-down shirt provides a solid base for this cozy down to earth look. Adding a layer of merino knitwear in a classic color adds not only warmth but a level of sophistication to the look.
Knitted blazer
A knitted blazer paired with a classic shirt and tie creates a refined yet relaxed look. Combine with tailored trousers for a modern style that works just as well at the office as it does for dinner.
Clean & crisp
