The Season's
Best Chinos

Here's the thing about chinos. They can be basic and boring and utterly lame when worn the wrong way. But when worn the right way, they can add an easy air of cool to any fit. And there are a few different ways to wear them the right way. Look for slimmer, straight cuts that have a slight taper to the legs. Or go for a more fashion-forward look and get a relaxed, wide leg pair and cuff the hems. Khaki is always a good idea, but these days we're definitely feeling the rich military-inspired greens.

History

In the 1840s, British soldiers in India dyed their white uniforms to match the terrain. But it was young US soldiers who introduced the pant to civilians—sporting their uniform chinos on college campuses after returning from WW II.
