Chinos Style Guide

We all love jeans. Think of casual wear and the first thing that comes to your mind is a stylish pair of denims. Have you wondered what apart from a pair of jeans could go well with your shirts and t-shirts? Wait a minute, the era of jeans is not coming to an end. The idea is to have a versatile in wardrobe. For men, trends have come and gone but what has always stayed back is a pair of classic denim jeans. A pair of stylish jeans looks great with a crisp white shirt but it has a limitation too. No matter how superb your jeans look, you will avoid wearing it at weddings and formal occasions. Jeans was, is and will always remain casual. Men’s fashion has evolved and you need to move forward from the t-shirt or shirt with jeans look.

So what’s next? It is a pair of coloured chinos. Of late, style conscious men are seen wearing chinos more than denims. The very obvious reason is change. We all love variety when it comes to style. A pair of smart chinos can be worn with a polo t-shirt on a casual outing and with a dress shirt at an office party as well.

After wearing denims for over two decades, men have welcomed chinos with open arms. Chinos are an answer to those who thought jeans is the only piece of clothing available to go casual.

 

Bollywood has played a major role in introducing style trends. Chinos made an official comeback on the silver screen with the movie Rowdy Rathore. Akshay Kumar wore all sorts of coloured chinos throughout the movie.

The first reason was change and the second reason is the comfort. Chinos are way more comfortable than a pair of denims. Most men did not find it difficult to switch to chinos over denims considering the comfort factor. Chinos are a boon especially during the hot months of summer. Chinos are made of lighter fabrics like cotton. They are cool, casual and comfortable. You can team your chinos with a pair of smart loafer shoes.

 

When it comes to colours, you can go for beige coloured chinos as it will looks good with everything. Other cool options are light grey, navy blue and brown. The best part about these colours is that they are so versatile. Most of your t-shirts and casual shirts would look good with these colours.

Be it the shopping malls or your online shopping sites, the chinos are getting extremely popular.
