Bonobos Black Flannel-Lined Chinos

Weekly Theme: Cold Snap

You always bundle up your torso (which is necessary), but rarely do we give our legs the attention they deserve when stepping out on a cold day. These fannel-lined chinos from Bonobos are perfect for work and play because you can get a cut that truly fits you and won’t look like you have long-johns on under your pants. They stretch, they move, and they keep your legs warm, what more can you ask for. Pair these with the cardigan we posted yesterday and you have the beginnings of an amazing outfit.

Bonobos Flannel-Lined Chinos Review

via bonobos.com

Weekly Theme: Fall Dinner Party

As we get further into Fall, warm garments that also look great will be a common combo you’ll see from us. These flannel lined chinos from Bonobos are exactly that. The flannel lining is super soft and warm without adding a tone of extra thickness to the pants, meaning they aren’t as bulky as you’d expect, and they still breathe. These in bonobos’ “wine” color are great for any Fall dinner or evening adventure, just make sure to pair them with something in a lighter color to not look like a ball of darkness.

Everlane Midweight Slim Chino Review

via Everlane.com

Khaki-colored chinos are an all-season kind of wear, but these khakis are a little darker than the normal office style, making them perfect for Fall. These midweight slim chinos from Everlane are a great jean alternative as they are thicker than your light summer pants, but also aren’t super thick or lined with flannel, making them cozy yet breathable. The slim leg gives you a more modern fit, and the slanted pockets make them seem a little more formal. Snag a pair of these and wear them with almost any top, but we suggest a blue chambray button down, or olive sweater for a really nice look.

via mrporter.com

For those more formal nights out in the Fall, these wool trousers from Mr. Porter are perfect. They have a plain front, and are lined with viscose meaning they will be warm and soft against your trunks. Feel free to wear these at work and afterward at the weekly Autumnal festival or beer garden soiree you may be attending. Pair it with a crisp button down shirt and a dark green sport coat for a look you can’t go wrong with.

DSTLD Men's Skinny Selvedge Chino Pants in Charcoal Review

via DSTLD.com

We've reviewed these before in the goods, but DSTLD has come out with another color: charcoal, and they look awesome. These paired with the Nike Huaraches we posted yesterday look killer together. These selvedge chinos are a little thicker than your cheap J.crew, or Banana chinos, but they will last longer. Just be sure to order a pair you can cuff at the bottom to show of the selvedge detail, that's the crucial selling point in these. That self-edged fabric flair is the tall tale sign of quality for pants, so show the people "in the know" that you're in the club too.

Bonobos Summer Weight Chinos

via Bonobos.com

These are not your Dad's chinos. These chinos are designed to be ultra light and, should you select the slim or tailored fit, your legs won't go swimming in them like the business casual patriarchs of yesteryear.  They are the perfect bottom for nicer, outdoor occasions during the warmer months, great for the tee box, and they go well with your buddy's yacht and a fitted Polo. So if you have to cover up those chiseled calves you perfected over the winter months, you might as well do your best to not cause any unneeded lower body sweat and put on pants that are as thin as possible.

Brave Star Selvage Tapered Chinos

If you are fan of raw selvedge denim like we are, then these chinos will be right up your alley. Not your typical J.Crew workday chinos, these are made from 9oz army-issue selvedge twill, meaning they are fairly light and durable, and will last longer than your normal chinos. They have a more extreme taper from the knee down, perfect for the guys that need a little room in the thighs but like to have a slimmer silhouette around the calves and ankle. These are also complete with loads of detail, from the button fly and flap pockets, to the selvedge (or salvage) detail along the coin pocket and inner leg seam, these are truly a unique pair of chinos you won't find at your larger fashion houses... yet.

Bonobos Navy Summer Weight Stretch Chinos

Via bonobos.com

Normally we'd be giving you plenty of thicker-lined pants options for October, but the heat has stuck around for most of the continental US, so why not give you some lightweight chinos you can rock for another 6 weeks. These chinos are durable, stretchy, and super comfortable. The ones we have in our closets are easily daily wearers and with a quick iron they look just as good as any semi-formal pant in your closet; perfect for work, running errands, and play. We suggest you get the tailored fit if you are looking for a skinnier profile, though if you are thick in the trunks the slim cut should do the trick. Right now, these bad boys are on final sale, so snag a pair before they are gone!

Everlane Straight Fit Pant

via Everlane.com

Everlane's pants are usually a slimmer fit, but guys with tree trunks for legs found that even with the elastane integrated into the cotton, they were still just too tight of a cut. So, Everlane came out with these, a straight-leg version of their classic chino-style pant. They are also 98% cotton and 2% elastane like their slimmer predecessors and fall nicely on gents with thicker legs and butt.

One thing to note when buying online, the lengths lay a bit longer than they say (by about 2 inches) so if you a 30/32, you might want to go for a 30/30 instead. Also, a cool thing about Everlane, if you scroll to the bottom of their individual product pages you can see how much each product costs to make vs. how much they charge you for them... transparency = pretty cool.
