Founded in 2008, Hockerty is the e-commerce leader in custom suits and custom dress shirts, as we offer our customers complete freedom to design their own clothes by choosing from a wide range of styles and fabrics. As summer is knocking on our door, it is time for us to start packing the heavy wool clothes and put them at the back of the closet. This season’s outfits ask for an easy formula since, itself is the time when the clothes are not the first concern.
One of the most picked and liked pieces by men are the Chino pants. The Chino fabric is made of 100% cotton and has a structure that won’t make you feel suffocated during the hot days or strangled by the tightness these the reasons that were actually built for. The fabric was first designed for the military uniforms to provide them good conditions and from then slowly it was absorbed by the civilian wear.
But, this does not mean that they can be only worn on casual occasions. As the time passed by they became more adapted to the men trends of fashion.
The Casual Pair
These Chino pants are worn in everyday life, that’s because they tend to go well with casual pieces like Oxford, polo or plain T-shirts. The style is no pleats, displaced fastening, round side pockets, patched back pockets and pants cuffs.
The Workwear Pair
If you want to look a little more presentable at work, Chinos are the best option. Pair them with the traditional menswear elements, a plain or checked shirt and with a tie, depends on the taste, and you are ready to go. The style is pleated, centered fastening, diagonal side pockets, flap back pockets, and pant cuffs.
The Smart Pair
Chinos never go wrong. In formal occasions, I suggest picking a dark shade. Match them with a light dress shirt and shoes and you will have a dashing look. The style is double pleated, centered fastening, vertical side pockets, the back pocket piped with a button and no pant cuffs
Some tips:
• The original Chinos color was light brown until different ones were added to the list, so go ahead and make your wardrobe colorful and have fun with it.
• To beat the heat, roll the fabric around your ankles for a breeze, as long as they fit trim and matches your style.
• The Chino pants are appropriate for every age, so don’t be afraid to give them a try.
• As always the fit should be slim, but not rock-star tight.
To wrap it up, Chino pants are a safe and long-term investment for your wardrobe. With your personal style and a little help if you are not the fashionable one, every look that you carry will be eye-catching.
