A light cotton fabric, simple pockets and rolled up trouser legs: ankle-length chinos are a popular fashion classic that is increasingly appearing in the warm summer months. These combinations are on trend in 2024.
The typical chino twill was originally used to make uniforms and trousers. However, the thin cotton fabric is now also used in the fashion industry, particularly in the production of trendy chinos for men and women. Typical of the trendy leisure trousers, in addition to the airy, light material, is the straight cut and the leg ends that become narrower towards the bottom – sometimes there is even a fine crease. How to combine (and wear) the trousers correctly is explained below.
Trouser guide: How to wear the it-piece correctly
Theoretically, casual trousers can be combined with anything, but the combination of chinos plus a T-shirt and sneakers is particularly popular this year. If you want something a little more chic, you can also choose a blouse or blazer and wear pumps or sandals. For cooler days, there is also a trendy combination of a hoodie, denim jacket (preferably in an oversized look) and sneakers. As far as colors go, white, black, blue, pink or beige chinos are again on trend in 2024.
Chino trends: These combinations are in demand
Due to the generous freedom of movement that chinos usually offer (otherwise, choose a size larger), it is almost a stylish must-have to roll up the trouser legs slightly at the bottom. This gives the look – whether sporty or chic – an even more casual touch. But be careful: To ensure that the casual trousers fit properly, you should make sure you buy the right length. Ideally, the chinos should end at ankle height or slightly below. They shouldn’t be any shorter, as they would otherwise make your legs look shorter.
From casual to sporty: Different chino looks
Depending on the weather conditions and whether you wear chinos privately or professionally, these casual trousers offer different styling options:
Casual look
In your free time, anything that is fun is allowed. From bright colors to eye-catching prints, you can create a cheeky casual look with eye-catching chinos.
