"For all their practical charms, even the best chinos have suffered some serious reputation slander in recent years. The workhorse pant style - named for the material they're historically crafted from, a cotton twill fabric - has come to denote "somewhat agreeable substitute teacher" or "somewhat poorly dressed first date," to the point that it feels ludicrous to assume a descriptor like "cool" could be employed."
"Given the trend towards warmer, fuller styles, fall also happens to be the perfect time to shrug off the jeans propaganda (jopaganda?) currently inundating the menswear ethos and update your chino collection. With a comprehensive market of grail-level options to choose from brands like Todd Snyder, Buck Mason and Studio Nicholson, along with an expanse of fits that range from slim to behemoth, there's an option for everyone, no matter what kind of vibe you're going for."
Chinos retain practical appeal despite a recent reputation as stodgy or uncool. The cotton-twill work pant functions across prep, workwear, and business-casual wardrobes and pairs well with both blazers and worn tees. The move toward warmer, fuller silhouettes makes fall an ideal season to update chino selections. The market presents grail-level offerings from brands like Todd Snyder, Buck Mason, and Studio Nicholson and includes fits from slim to oversized. Selections were made after years of research and months of real-time wear, producing a curated list of preferred chino options.
