Wardrobe: Wearing Chinos in summer

2/6/2015

Cool down without comprising the dress code or your style. Add a couple chinos to your summer wardrobe.  Chinos can be worn to the office for a business casual look, or on the weekends with your favorite crewneck tee.

What to Wear with Chinos

The term “chino” refers to a casual cotton pant originally dyed in a khaki color to be used for military uniforms in WWI. This type of cotton was the only fabric that could withstand harsh military use. These days, chinos have become a staple in a man’s wardrobe. 

The Kent Chino
is a casual straight leg pant that will become your favorite pant for the office and the weekends. In true DL1961 fashion, the Kent Chino is made with a revolutionary fabric called XTWILL. This fabric combines Lycra and American Cotton in a specialized construction and weaving process to create a breathable and flexible twill that can be worn all year long.

Birch Chinos

Wear the Birch color (khaki chino) with a blue pinpoint oxford shirt and blue hopsack blazer for the office. On the weekends, wear with a navy crewneck tee or pique polo.

Ditmar Chino

The Ditmar color (navy chino) is perfect for a social occasion. Wear with a sport shirt, a brown custom belt and brown loafers. For a casual weekend look, opt for a newport green crewneck tee or lavender pique polo.

Piccard Chino

For a casual weekend look, try the Piccard color (grey chino) with a white pique polo, or summer red garment washed crewneck tee. To dress it up, opt for a check shirt and navy hopsack blazer.

The Kent Chino has a traditional straight leg fit, comfortable through the waist with a straight fit from the hip down to the bottom opening.  Features include side slash front pockets and rear welt pockets.

If you're a current client of Alpha Male Style, the Kent Chino is comparable to the DL Vince fit denim and the Classic Fit 5-Pockets from J.Hilburn.
  I suggest we size down 1 to 2 inches from your J.Hilburn trouser waist depending on your fit preference.
