Are These Chinos Best For You? Fashion Over 40

In this video, I compare four different brands of chino's for men. I show you the Goodfellow & Co brand from Target, Express, Amreican Eagle and Gap chino's. I discuss fit, fabric and price in an effort to help you if you're looking for a new pair of chino's.

Great video mate, I just turned 38 and looking to refresh my entire wardrobe. I have learned a few things on my pushing 40 refresh mission. 1.Chinos are more versitle than jeans 2.Minimal look is best, no logos, branding on anything 3.Buy 'made to last' items, investment pieces 4.

[@don_kandon6006]

If you think about it, this stuff basically cost the same as sports pants/sweats, cargo shorts etc... but style and look wise is day and night, not even a conversation and comparison. Then vneck, or polo, or dress short, or cardigan, then leather sneakers, moccasins, loafers, finish off with non metal wrist bracelet and necklace, both let say from cloths/leathers, and your style beats 95% of men.

[@TheStyleOG]

Well done as always Jon. Really like the burgundy ones from American Eagle. Appreciate the mention as well!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for the comment Jeff! I probably wouldn't have discovered Goodfellow if you hadn't mentioned them in your videos.

[@TheJuwile]

appreciate the content from both of you dudes

[@blackjackcreek]

Spot on! Picked up a couple pair of good fellows and love them.

[@angelop.6984]

I am a fan of Chinos and I could say I feel great wearing them. It's me... It defines me... It reflects who I am. Thanks for this video. It opened my eyes to try other style or colours.

[@sumitachakraborty6759]

I am 53 from northest INDIA , stylists Jan in INDIA, YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON. YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANT. Thank you.

[@carriemcguire4753]

The blue ones fit so good. They definitely look like the most expensive ones, perfect fit! Who knew they would be from Target!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much!

[@marijuanapuffs]

Oh boy, just bought a pair of light pink chinos 😬. I've never worn ANYTHING with pink on it so I will definitely test myself to step outside my comfort zone...💞💪

[@eisirm]

I don't know why guys are afraid of PINK. It's an interesting fresh colour and is looking great on you mate. If the fabric is good and the fit is perfect, there's no reason to be scared. Thumbs up from me!!!

[@disruptor109]

Simple, it's a feminine color.

[@CS-ww3bs]

It stains easy and it's not as versatile as other colors so it's like the last color you would want to get, when it comes to pants.

[@StrappingYoungLadam]

I'm 14 years below the minimum age demographic conveyed in the title but I like what I've watched thus far. Timeless style without being trendy which is how I prefer to dress even in my mid 20s.

[@michaelscott263]

That’s ok Jerry I’m 30 years over

[@-art3544]

Great video John. I like that you keep it real unlike other youtubers who push high price items

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Art! Always appreciate your comments my friend!

[@jerrelncbg6240]

I've been killing with clothes from Target for years. A few accessories and people always think my clothes are more expensive than they are. JCPenney has a brand called J Ferrar that I like and Stacy Adams. Good options if you're starting out and don't want to break the bank. Just have to know how to coordinate.

[@adrianasilitonga7335]

Man, I miss those stores.. I live in SE Asia. I grew up in the states.. Visited 2-3 times afterwards.

[@davidnorman4923]

I got Gap chinos in slim fit and I'm 56!'They suit my shape and waist!

[@kennethlawson6257]

I've been wearing several pairs of Chino by George, from Walmart, and they've held up much better then I expected. They look good, are dressy enough, I can wear pretty much everything I have right now. I also appreciate that you didn't push the expensive stuff, While it's nice to be able to afford better quality stuff, (Which usually translates into more expensive) Most of us don't have that budget, but still, want to look good, and dress as well as we can. As much as I hate to say, sometimes Walmart is our only choice for a variety of reasons. Location, ability to travel, no other stores around, etc.

[@40OverFashion]

Hey Kenneth, I'm not made of money, so I do what I can. Thanks for your comment!

[@brianphillips7420]

UK based here! I agree we have' George 'at Asda here, i find them just as good as any other 😁

[@eliblue70]

I discovered the Target chinos after dropping hundreds of dollars on Bonobos chinos! I could kick myself for overlooking them. The tapered cut is the best! I wish I could take the Bonobos back. Fellas, go try on the Target chinos.

[@bretbrown583]

I agree- I've found a great fit and value there, though limited choice of styles.

[@ntlrancho4life120]

Man, I tried on the Target chinos and they draped poorly and did not fit me well personally.

[@kirbyaugustine761]

Love the style advice from the Style OG.

[@walt0780]

Thank you very much, i am a South African recently turned 39 and your videos have made a good impact in my life as they say life begins at 40 well with you on my side i guess will make a good impression at 40, thank you so much. Walton.

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you Walton!

[@arcelioba]

What I like best is that the shirt matches all the chinos.

[@leavonfletcher4197]

COUGH! WOW! Pink huh? Well I am not that adventurous but I do think I need to open up my color palette. There is life beyond blue and gray.

[@1dgdog]

Combining it with white will be better

[@jandevery]

Guys, don’t sleep on the Goodfellow brand from Target. I have several of their slim fit chinos. Can’t beat the price and quality. And Jeff, the StyleOG is a huge fan also. Great video!

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you! Jeff is the one that turned me onto them.

[@petebartlett2229]

Jeans through and through. Chinos definitely a sign of dad clothing according to my son!!! As long as you are feeling confident in what you wear,it’s all good

[@tomskyring7639]

Not over 40 I’m 18 but I love wearing chinos and a polo shirt they are just super comfortable and I can dress it up if I need to (always tucked though)

[@joaquinfarfan4111]

Great video John, much appreciated. I’m new to your channel. Living it. Thanks

[@40OverFashion]

Awesome, thank you!

[@nursing1999]

Goodfellow from Target is the best. When you wear it and you move, there's no much folding going on. It looks neater....

[@michaelglass4701]

nursing1999 , yes I have good fellow shirts and slacks, i love them.

[@treasuresoutheats]

I bought a pair of the Target Good Fellow chinos the other day. I really like them. Run small but the 36 is like finding that elusive size 35, which is nice. I can’t believe they were only $22. I would definitely recommend these

[@gulltherizul]

I bought some Express pants after watching this video. I wish I hadn't: the pants are actually not bad, but Express is spamming my email with ads every-single-day. I have "unsubscribed" about 20 times over 45 days. I called the customer support and they hung up on me: the call didn't disconnect, they put me on hold, then forwarded me to the end-of-call survey. BUT- I still love the channel and keep the videos coming.

[@sayyer10]

Thank you for showing this. It helps as I am in my 50s and trying to dress up a little to look more presentable.

[@pinder1250]

Im in the same situation

[@M82RKY]

In the UK, I have tried a lot of brands and found the best fit from M&S, great price too👌

[@danhindes9339]

Well done sir! I dig your low key laid back vibe. The Target brand was indeed a find! I too have over spent on Bonobos. Thanks for the great tips!

[@williamkazak469]

Lands End is my choice. Long rise and pleated. They have others as well.

[@LS-tn4nm]

Really enjoying your content - pretty informative and relatable. Would love to see similar vids on blazers, casual shirts, polos and tees.

[@treasuresoutheats]

I’ve had good luck with Old Navy slim chinos. Usually around $25

[@ttop64]

I got a pair of the Goodfellow chinos at Target last fall in a sort of golden tan color and I wanted to get some in the dark teal as well but they didn't have my size so I opted for a pair of their slim fit wool blend dress pants instead and I have really liked them.The only drawback is that I noticed after a few wearings some pilling of the fabric in the crotch area. A fabric shaver took care of that.

[@kane99560]

Great call on the Target Chinos...Actually think I like them better than the $70 J Crew ones I usually get at 1/3 the price...These will be my new go to work pants.

[@philomelodia]

I like those target ones in the American Eagle ones. Can’t do the pink. Not as brave as you. Nice video. Keep them coming.

[@davidcoleman2463]

I got mine at H and M . Cost $29 . I like them .

[@kvc2334]

I’m 46 and I’m starting follow your dress style

[@teckluv4413]

I prefer the navy blue pant. It looks good on you. Thanks for sharing.

[@tgavin9325]

The Target Goodfellow works the best for me. And they are more wrinkle free. Thank you for your fashion info!

[@rosssmith9870]

I'm 62 and enjoy watching your videos. My size is 36 34 and I hate the high water pants look. I generally avoid 100% or high cotton content due to shrinkage. I wash in cold water and hang dry. I prefer approx 60/40 polyester/ cotton mix to combat shrinkage. If I bought larger size and washed in hot water and dried in dryer how far up would I have to go to shrink to fit? Could you do a video on combating shrinkage?

[@davehwang6815]

Smart looking gentleman! Clear explanation and well presentation. Superb introduction of chinos. Thanks a lot.

[@M82RKY]

I say they all look great, some IMO are for warmer seasons but any color Chino is great for guys over 35👌

[@carpediem3593]

Outstanding Jon. I am a fan and subscriber to the The Style O.G. as well......I have all of the dark colors from Goodfellow & Co.

[@40OverFashion]

Carpe Diem Thank you! Yes, Jeff is the man!

[@pmwill7117]

I have some chinos but your color range are awesome. Love your videos....

[@barinbag135]

Pink color Gap khaki, awesome

[@Milofchg]

Look out for online coupons from the Gap or Banana Republic. You can always find Chino's on sale or in the clearance section. Plus The Gap & Banana Republic factory stores are very reasonable.

[@amedina-rivera8673]

My favorite kind of pants to wear!!! Good color selection!!!

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for watching!

[@altemose_prime]

Plus, whenever I’m looking for pants, the models on alll the websites are usually 6’1” 102lbs.

[@lordtyranus08]

My favorite brand and fit for chinos are those from Ben Sherman, they are hard to come by but are so worth it. J Crew and Banana Republic also make great fitting chinos.

[@richardlong4706]

I like Target's chino. I also like Brooks Brother's Red Fleece line. I tried Peter Manning, but there is something about their fit that doesn't feel right on my body. So much of selecting a chino is about matching the cut, fabric, price, etc. to a particular body type, I'm thinking.

[@juanarce6900]

I only have chinos in two colors, grey(two shades), and a tan. I am looking forward to incorporate pastel colors to my rotation. Excellent stuff John.

[@rayotti4530]

Jon always has the best menswear review

[@vinodchandra2950]

Super fit pants they are really looking Great👌

[@Wildcatbeer]

Had no idea what a chino was until today. Can't wait to go get some and look better.

[@mohammedrahman3447]

Alas, Target left the Canadian market a couple of years ago. I miss it.

[@vinced5741]

What would be interesting to know how the colors look after a few washes. That's when you know if the chino is worth the money.

[@40OverFashion]

Great point! So far, so good!

[@harveyts3]

All my chino's are bonobos slim fit. I cannot speak to any others but I do like mine and over the years have bought them again and again.

[@altemose_prime]

Chinos are usually a crotch vise. Haven’t found a pair that fit yet. Plus if you drive to work, the sit scars make it look like you’ve been wearing the pants for over a week.

[@kurjan1]

Greetings from Australia. Just discovered your Chanel via Chino search... Really like what you have presented here. Fabulous colour palette. I have just thrown away/donated 8 garbage bags of clothing from my wardrobe and starting from scratch😂🤗🤔. So sick and tired of the drab greys and navy suit every day and boring colours... 🙏

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you for your comment and I'm glad you're here!

[@ghtcastagne]

The ones from Target, look great and inexpensive !!

[@justin57153]

Your song selection is fire.

[@mattlabishak4340]

Jon, good information. There isn't a part of me that fits into a skinny anything. That being said, I have found Lucky Brand products to be quality and very comfortable to wear. They aren't the cheapest, but are worth the extra coin. And they work well in a casual work environment.

[@maduran31]

Surprised by the target brand, will put those on the radar.

[@40OverFashion]

I was surprised as well! Thanks for your comment!

[@richlandzee8686]

Wow. Target? Well then there's one 0.25 miles away from me so definitely will check it out!

[@juanjosefermin3682]

I love everything from Target

[@theryangarber]

Great video. Came here because of the recommendation of Jeff, the Style OG. Salute.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Ryan! Glad you're here!

[@decnijfkris3706]

In order to get that sold in europe the base model must be the flanels, but wider AND iron a plie in it. Bam!

[@kirkrobinson5605]

I have three pairs. Love them.

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Kirk, thanks for your comment!

[@wadebolderman3250]

Hey John, I picked up a pair of the American Eagle chinos in British tan this morning. Perfect fit in a 34/34. Like the jeans, they feel like they were made for me. Mine are the “Next Level Flex” slim model, and they were on sale at 40% off!

[@jrbon4619]

Thank you, Jon. Your videos and detail to the content are just brilliant. I also like how you share the sizes, as sizes are always different from each vendor or designer. I also enjoyed the recent content on the belts. Joe

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks Joe!

[@bradcooke5383]

I vote Target chinos too.

[@Razzzordback]

I like The colours of all presented chinos. As a very slim and short guy i know the are too wide and baggy below the knee . Always need tailored on lenght and width so frustrating. Skinny most of time are good below the knee but to tight in tights and butt area

[@wpwb1741]

I bought two pairs of Target chinos in the spring and they fit great but by the fall I noticed them being short. So I stretched them out beside my Haggar Work to Weekend pants and Levi's jeans that I've owned for years. The Target chinos were two inches shorter. The Levi's and Haggar's were washed many more times than. the Target and I always wash in cold and dry on low heat but the target chinos shrunk so much I had to give them to charity.

[@rajkrish9347]

Great ideas John. Would have been nice if u had white sneaker or loafer/double monks. I got slim fit Uniqlos at about 30usd here. Fitted very well. I stand at 6'1" with shoes and the length was just nice.

[@amandawallingford6359]

As always great content! I do wonder though, how often do/should you buy or replace your clothes. Thanks!!

[@disruptor109]

Banana Republic's Traveler Chinos are the best on the market, next to Target's Goodfellow and Company brand.

[@lonnycape4418]

Great content on your channel. I recently discovered your channel and am very happy that I did. I am a hairstylist in my 50’s and always try to stay on trend with fashion but appropriately dressed for my age but not looking like I am trying to hard to fit in. I love clothes and have two walk-in closets full. So finding you was a great find. Thank you.

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Lonny, you'll love tomorrow's video on gray blending then! Thanks for your comment!

[@tbyjb]

I think the pink ones fit yu the best. Skinny leg cuts are tricky nowadays. The pink ones don’t look so obvious.

[@aristobratofficial9782]

Great tips for great wardrobe for men. Thank you for the details and the video shared.

[@melvinlloydmaxwelljr5433]

Brooks brothers chinos are my go to ( own every color they made ). I don't wear blue Jean's so these are my casual go to pants wear as a 66 year old...

[@masspyro5167]

how about 40 over fashion in the waist. It's nice to be 30-32" waist but what about dudes that are 38-40? We need a model showing these sizes.

[@M82RKY]

I agree mate, I am a 32 and can totally get away with skinnier fit chinos but they wouldn't look so good if I were 34-38" at 5ft8. Still a useful video👌

[@5530alex]

OK I am not a hater but most of us shouldn’t be more than a 33”. It’ s unhealthy and not to mention makes you look older. Diet and exercise. Watch what you are putting in your mouth and cut back on carbs and sugary drinks like soda. I am see sawing between 32 - 33 and remember a time when I was a 29 in my 20s. I am now 55.

[@japesss]

​@@5530alexPeople have different builds. People at the same height can weigh 90kg with a 36" waist and there'll be others at 120kg wearing the same size. That's great that you conveniently point out that 33", right where you are, is the limit of healthy. Doesn't follow most medical advice though.

[@M82RKY]

@@japesss I am a 32" and in ok shape 5ft8 168lbs at 38 years old, anything over 32" with the shape I am now would in fact mean I was way overweight which is the average for most men but I do see your point.

[@leebog1914]

The Style O. G Recommended your channel. Great video. I am going to stick around, being a may over 40 who appreciates style and not flash. Oh, I dig the sneakers...I just pick up a pair of black leather sneakers....whatcha wearing?

[@40OverFashion]

Hey, thanks for being here! The sneakers in this video are a super cheap pickup from Zara. Not top quality at only $40, but they'll tide me over until I get a new pair of Greats.

[@oki1985]

What a cool channel you have!!! Nice to see guys dressing simple, practical yet elegant. Listen up dudes! our boy has some great advice for you all!!!!

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

I'm over 40! And over 50 - and 60 - and 70..... I might have worn any of these when I too had a 32" waist, but time marches on, and so has my waistline; and sadly, my hips, which are now arthritic; so anything that fits on the hips is extremely uncomfortable. Well, that's the chino fit, so clearly they aren't for me. If you can find trousers that fit comfortably above the hips - not at nipple level, but at least around the natural waist - which can be found off-the-peg, you could save me a lot of money by having waist-fitters especially made for me.

[@tedwilliams765]

Great video, you haven't failed me yet,I didnt even know these pants existed!!

Hey John, great video. As an extra help for some of us how tall are you?

[@40OverFashion]

5’ 9”

[@chesterwillger7017]

I love my chinos from express. Funny thing, I just bought some face moisturizer at Target that is also Goodfellow Co and I love it! I might have to go back and try the Chinos. One can never have too many colors 😁

[@IlikeOakleystoo]

No J Crew? Their slim fit are my go to's.

[@vijay123_n]

blue is perfect fit and awesome

[@robramos3513]

Nice choices but I didn't like the black sneaker with that I think it would look better with a navy or maybe a white sneaker with it. Definitely going to check out express and Target

[@kickerkevin1193]

How tall are you? And how much do you weigh? I am 6'0" 165 and I would never try anything less that 32×34 , I thought you wear your pants at your hips. Please tell me where to wear your pants

[@dallasmove537]

My absolute favorite chinos are Banana Republic. Great fit and style.

[@valueink]

My favorite are the Aiden slim

[@brijeshmandavi6795]

Thnxx for giving so much importance to chinos... Love from India

[@henrybn14ar]

I find if I buy things with elastane the right size in the shop, they are baggy after wearing them for an hour or two. It seems as if they need to be too tight when tried in the changing room.

[@nychrisvs]

style og put me on to you. i'm your newest subscriber. good content

[@40OverFashion]

Thank you very much Chris! I’m glad you’re here!

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Strange coincidence, I was at Target a few hours ago, and saw the Goodfellow & Co. Skinny Fit chino's on a shelf. That's the first time I've ever seen them. I didn't even bother trying them on because of the " Skinny " label. I ended up buying a nice Goodfellow & Co. burgundy cardigan sweater. Jeff at the Style O.G. was also the one that turned me on to Goodfellow & Co. I don't know what to say.....the cardigan WORKS! No, it's not the highest quality, but it's still reasonably good quality....or maybe just a tad higher than that? I complete dismissed Target in the past. I'll have to try these Goodfellow & Co. chino's. You've got me curious about them now. I don't think I would want to wear Goodfellow & Co. head to toe.....but as piece here and there to dress up with maybe higher quality more expensive brands....geez, why not? Thanks for the video.

[@40OverFashion]

Thanks for your comment! Jeff was the one who got me interested too. It’s a decent , inexpensive addition to the wardrobe.

[@cornstar1253]

Why the he'll is it so hard to find pants that aren skinny.

[@veronicacarreno7327]

Well we share the same size I’m over fifty and I’m still 32x30, good videos Jon keep it up!

[@KeithHill2]

Awesome content.. fashion on a budget is very important for myself so budget options are much appreciated. Keep it coming. These are great ideas. I’d like to see something more for the manly man.I would appreciate if you can do a video on that

[@40OverFashion]

Hi Keith, thanks for the suggestion.

[@michaeljonesdougherty.209]

I liked the diffrent chino colors. Hmmm chino can be tricky i had a few both flat front & pleated front some where to frumpy and others where too short in the cruach or just to boxy on me . Good video. 🖒

[@manuelmartinezo5268]

I'm 41 years old and I love chinos pants my size is 26x32 khaki is my favorite color.

26 x 32?! Didn’t even know they made them so small.

[@boscokid9524]

Check out LL Bean chinos. They have several different fits and they are always having sales.

[@40OverFashion]

I’ll have to check them out!

[@nycmaverick]

And they will hem them for free.
