Wearing chinos for work with a white shirt and a blazer creates an instant professional outfit. If you want to layer up for the colder weather, add a zipped hoodie or lightweight sweater. Any jackets or coats look great with men’s chinos, just avoid any clashing colours. For a more relaxed finish, pair your chinos with a plain cotton t-shirt. Complete the look with a pair of smart shoes or Chelsea boots.
Dress your chinos down with a plain white t-shirt or even a hoodie. Trainers help your chinos appear more casual as well as being well suited for most casual occasions. Chinos and a sweatshirt is a casual combination that can be passed as smart/casual.
If you want to go smart, try a shirt in any colour, as long as it doesn’t clash with the colour of the chinos. Men’s jumpers and sweatshirts also can be worn with a pair of chinos for a more casual aesthetic. A smart blazer or jacket can complete the look.
If you feel your trouser legs are a bit too long, feel free to roll up your chinos. However, a rule of thumb is not to roll more than twice - otherwise the roll appears too thick and looks out of place. If you are planning on rolling your chinos, bear in mind what socks you are wearing, ankle socks may be the best option for this. Avoid rolling chinos when you are wearing smart shoes such as Chelsea boots.
