I own at least a dozen pair of chinos and wear them nearly every day. They are far more comfortable than jeans and since I work in a business casual environment and no longer need to wear a suit, I can either pair them with a oxford cloth button down or a polo shirt and a pair of loafers or camp mocs. On weekends, they work just as well with a t-shirt and my Stan Smiths.

I am the Chino expert. I’ve worn chinos since 1990, and back then the best were from Banana Republic. This was when BR was mostly safari wear, so the chinos were great quality with cuffed hems. After that JCrew became the go to. Always pair them with Converse Jack Purcells, until now. It’s a classic style that’s timeless. My recommendation today would be Wallace and Barnes Officer’s Chino from JCrew. They are perfect! Not high or low waisted with just a slight taper, and comes with button fly. For warmer weather the Todd Snyder Modern Chino. Drawstring with cuffed hems, and a good amount of taper to wear with sockless sneakers. BTW, white chinos are my favorite. I don’t know why you don’t like them. White is classy, nautical, and very dapper.

Yeah, I get confused sometimes when she talks about black chinos. The waiter comment is more of a jab on black trousers, black vest/bowtie, and white button up shirts-a very specific combination. However, I do find black chinos a bit challenging when it comes to combining with footwear colors, not so much on tops. Navy blue chinos, I find, are more difficult to pair a top with though.

Levi’s 502 sta prest pant is the original chino that Steve McQueen made famous. Good luck finding them. Also the Levi’s 508 line 6 is a Jean cut chino that copied the 502. Both are lightly tapered and come in a variety of colors. 502 and 508 make cords too. These are the only casual pants I buy and both are technically discontinued. If given a choice always opt for 508 ( more comfortable). Also the 502 make a denim which I recommend against but the 508 jeans are great.

@@Mike-vt7si I was actually joking (poking fun at Ashley's love of white minimalist sneakers), but, honestly, the truth is that there is no option considered "stylish" for men, and that sucks. I think we need to break the stigmas against "man bags", because it's not fair that stuffing items into our pockets is the only "acceptable" option, and even then, it ruins the silhouette of our pants. Even cargo pants-something that allows us to carry everything comfortably without carrying around a bag deemed as feminine or dorky-are condemned mercilessly by folks such as Ashley. The only acceptable solution seems to be "carry less stuff", which is impractical (or at least, not ideal) for many situations. For instance, I rarely wear sunglasses because I want it to be in a secure location (i.e., a dedicated case) when I'm not using it-I don't just want it dangling from my pants pocket or shirt placket.

I really like your advice and the pictures you choose to directly highlight are the best most relatable pictures and I appreciate your directions a lot! The skin tight chinos are pretty bad, I think you should highlight the fact that your front pocket liner material should NOT be visible/never wear pants that tight. Just my two cents. However, I'm getting thrown by your shoe choices - feels primarily geared toward 35 and younger. Can you advise the more mature crowd with shoes? The no-sock shoe is not an option and neither is the white sneaker.

I know a lot of flat footed people also have wide feet so I bring it up. Thursday boots also have wide options especially for their captain model.
