We’ve made our chino shorts smack-bang in the middle of smart-casual. In smooth twill they’ll style up a treat, while the mitred waistband takes it up a notch and gives a clean finish.

There are so many ways to style them; try yours with a knitted polo on casual days and smarten up with a linen shirt for at-ease elegance that offers comfort and breathability too.

Look for a high percentage of cotton in the composition so they’ll be breathable in warm weather. You might also like a shot of stretch for extra flex – we’ve add some Spandex to the mix for ease of movement.

Chino shorts come in all sorts of fits. Our advice for a modern profile is pair that’s just the right side of slim in fit (not skin-tight, but not baggy either), with a length that hits a couple of inches above your knee.
