How to Wear and Style Chinos for Any Occasion

If you had to wear only one pair of pants for the rest of your days, chinos would be a solid choice. In fact when we asked our Instagram followers in our latest poll, 90% of you guys were in favour of chinos. From casual brunch get ups, business outings, dinner dates and even fancy events, chinos really do have you ready for anything. 

Not to mention the stretch, support and confidence you feel when wearing chino pants is unmatched. The cherry on top is that you can constantly outfit repeat your chinos, with no one knowing. The key to this is wearing and rotating through the right tops, outerwear, basics and accessories, and you will be able to wear your chinos time after time again. Here are some of our favourite ways to style mens chinos.

Let’s start with stretch chinos, an everyday staple that your wardrobe will love you for. Stretch chino pants are both versatile and comfy, you might even forget you are wearing them. 

Crowd favourite, Danny Super Stretch Chino is definitely one of our top picks. These bad boys come in 4 chino colours and are the perfect staple as they can be dressed up and down in a moment's notice. These slim fit chinos are supportive and the comfortable fabric makes them a prime choice to run day to day errands, whilst also leaving you prepared to get up to any unexpected adventures.  

Want to look casual but put together at the same time?  Pair with a plain or textured tee. This gives you a chance to add some personality to your outfit by adding some dimension and texture to your look.

To achieve an ultimate off-duty, timeless look, we recommend the Wellington Textured Tee, a crew cut that has stretch to it, so you will feel comfy all round and stylish af. 

Now if you want to add some spice to your look, pair your stretch chinos with a party shirt. The fun colours and patterns are guaranteed to make you the star of any social setting, and will get you loads of compliments on Insta.

To really complete the outfit, pop a tee underneath your party shirt, add a belt, your favourite pair of white sneakers and you're good to go. Plus, bonus points because our party shirts are made with 100% soft and breathable Viscose, so now you will stay cool, calm and collected.

If you are feeling like rocking a more bold look, our check chinos are guaranteed to spice up any fit game. 

When it comes to looking best dressed at work, try out our Cristo Check Chinos, they are a lifesaver for when you need to look sharp but have zero time. Tap into some David Bechham dapperness and class, and pair these with our Blue Lewis Linen Shirt  which is made from 100% Linen, a highly breathable and classy af fabric. Complete your getup with a pair of loafers and you are ready to hit the office.
