Chinos Breathe New Life for Men
They have been given many names - (the trouser and the suitpant) and presented in many different styles, sizes, colors, patterns, and textures. However it is called or created, the concept has always been around. Slim-fitted trousers are far more versatile and comfortable than the seemingly painted-on skinny jeans. Long gone are the days of bouncing around the room frantically in the morning or doing the happy dance to get your legs into these garments of sheer torture. I am sure they will come back in style as things always do in this industry, but rest assured that you can now give your legs the break they deserve.
Robert Geller once stated that "chinos are the new skinny jeans" at an Apple Store lecture in Soho, merely a day after he presented his Autumn/Winter 2016 menswear runway. I’d been purchasing and wearing chinos years before, but somehow seeing men of all creeds in Manhattan sport the chicest cuffed black chinos made the words of this namesake designer hit home. Cameron Brooks showcases his collection of sharp and slim-fitted trousers that fit perfectly into the pieces of our “pants” puzzle.
Pinstripes are perfect for nearly any occasion and can elevate any outfit when paired correctly. Mr Brooks wears a classic, white, oxford shirt with a pair of navy pinstripe trousers along with a pair of perfectly polished, tan, cap-toe derbies.
Contrary to popular opinion, colorful pants can be taken seriously! Just keep your tones synchronous and make sure the rest of the look is simple, and Voila! The look is now refreshing and cool.
In conclusion — you can never go wrong with Black. Balance out a pair of inexpensive draw-string chinos with luxurious and classic fabrics like Suede and Leather.
