Everyone has that one pair of pants they like to wear all the time – the comfortable pair they can throw on and feel at ease, no matter what they’re wearing it with or where they are going. However, most men don’t have that perfect pair of chinos yet, and as hard as you try to find the perfect pair, it’s likely you won’t be able to find exactly what you need. If you want to know how to buy chinos for men, look no further than the tips below!
1) Fit
The first thing you’ll want to consider is your personal style. Chinos offer a variety of fits, but most guys lean towards a more relaxed fit. If you’re looking for something slimmer, try out some slim-fit chinos that are tailored closer to your body.
We recommend sizing down if you like a slimmer, fitted look or sizing up if you like a more relaxed and baggier look. Chino pants are available in different lengths so make sure that you know what length will work best for your needs before purchasing them (for example, shorts or capris). After trying on the chinos, be sure to pay attention to how they feel on your body as well as how they look. Make sure they have enough room at the waist without being too loose around the legs and thigh area; if they’re too tight then go up a size.
2) Length
Buying a pair of chinos can be difficult as there are so many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, you need to know what kind of fit you want: slim, straight or loose. Secondly, you need to consider your height and weight; will the trousers be too long or too short? Thirdly, do you want your trousers cuffed or hemmed? Fourthly, how does your desired color look on you? Lastly, what about fabric? You may have preferences for cotton twill or wool flannel. Remember that if none of these seem like something that applies to you, then it’s best to go with a classic black cotton pair of pants. There is no such thing as an easy way to buy a pair of chinos but by considering all the above points, it should help you find the right one.
3) Style
Choosing the perfect pair of chinos is easier than you think. They may seem like a basic wardrobe item, but there are some key things to keep in mind.
You want your pants to be snug, but not too tight. If they’re too tight, it will restrict your movements and cause discomfort.
Contrary to popular opinion, dark colors are not the best choice if you want a slimming look. Light colors will actually make you appear slenderer while dark colors do just the opposite by drawing attention to any problem areas on your body (especially stomach). 3. Wash – Darker washes can hide stains better than lighter ones. That being said, white is usually the best color to wear with a light top or jacket because it’s difficult to see through them.
Most importantly, take into account what you’ll need these pants for before deciding which style/cut is right for you. Chinos come in many different cuts including straight leg, boot cut, low rise etc., so don’t hesitate to try on different styles!
