Non-Khaki Chinos

 
  •  
    Anatomy of a Classic: The chino's story starts, like so many pieces of men's fashion lore, with the military.

While there's no shortage of chinos this time of year, it's fair to say that the classic twill pants are getting a shot of bold style. Because while the timeless tan of chinos past will always have a place in a man's sartorial arsenal, brands both big and small are introducing options in bright primary shades this summer. Look for a pair cut from lightweight cotton that's been washed for softness, with a relaxed yet slim fit and a slight taper to the leg—then use them as your easygoing denim alternative on hot days.
