Men's fashion has always been generous, and trendy chinos, like many other sharp trends, migrated to the women's wardrobe from there. It is difficult to find a more universal thing for the summer, as well as for the warm autumn-spring period.

One has only to learn how to choose and wear such pants correctly, and they will become an indispensable detail in any stylish outfit. And our article is designed to introduce you to all the intricacies of choosing chinos and their combination with other elements of the wardrobe.

Authentic chinos pants - pants made from pure cotton. On the fly, instead of a zipper, they have buttons, their legs are slightly narrowed down. The front pockets are beveled, the back ones are mortise, straight.

This description fits classic chinos, today there are a lot of variations that allow the use of mixed fabrics or the usual zipper on the fly. Landing can be both classic and understated.

Such pants appeared in the middle of the XIX century. They were developed specifically for the British military, based in the Indian colonies. At first, all the clothes for the soldiers were produced in white.

But this option turned out to be too easily soiled and impractical, so white cotton before sewing was dyed with any convenient improvised means - curry, mulberry, coffee. As a result, this inimitable and characteristic for chinos shade of khaki arose, which later became traditional for such trousers.

Pants owe their name to China - the British bought the fabric there for them, and it just happened - trousers made of chino ("Chinese") fabric. For many decades, such pants moved from one country to another as army uniforms for hot countries.

Then they gradually migrated to the everyday men's wardrobe, and by the 20th century, by the time of widespread emancipation, chinos had finally got into women's fashionable images.

Chinos are loose-fitting trousers made of soft but durable material - linen or cotton. Their convenience and versatility as a result led to the fact that chinos literally crowd out jeans from everyday life, especially in summer.

These trousers sit freely, do not constrain movements at all, and most importantly - they are not hot. At the same time, they, like the jeans mentioned above, are perfectly combined with almost any clothes and shoes. And this means that such pants can be worn both at work and at a party, both on a trip and on a date.

Since chinos is a separate type of trousers, and not a specific model, different manufacturers can allow differences in cut, style and some details.

Having become an attribute of a women's wardrobe, chinos began to appear not only with a classic or slightly understated fit, but also with a high waistline. The upper area of ​​the tucked trousers is another characteristic feature of chinos.

Although these are very versatile loose-fitting trousers, they need to be selected in strict accordance with the individual characteristics of the figure. So you will be able to hide any flaws, and thanks to some tricks - even visually change your silhouette for the better.

1. Guys and girls of short stature should choose models with a high waistline. These pants visually make the legs longer.
2. If your height is medium or even tall, feel free to give preference to models that are greatly narrowed down. It looks very elegant, but visually steals a few centimeters in height. This will not harm you, but for owners of more modest growth, such models, unfortunately, are prohibited.
3. A little trick for the full: a straight cut without wrinkles and excessive volume in the hips and waist is the perfect way to hide the problem points of your figure. At the same time, trousers should be made of lighter fabrics, which give less wrinkles and can not be collected. Time-tested trick to look slimmer!

Men's chinos tend to match the classic notion of this type of pants. They are only slightly narrowed downward, the landing has a classic or slightly understated and in terms of variety can differ only in wide color gamut.

Women's chinos are distinguished by a large variety of varieties. In addition to the cut, identical to men's models, they are available with sharply narrowing legs, with a high waist, with tucks in the upper part and with all kinds of folds.

Teenage chinos, in fact, are simply smaller copies of adult models. A huge selection of models is available for any gender and age category, different in style and color. And everyone can easily pick up something of their own.

Do not go out of fashion twists and turns - almost an obligatory attribute for chinos. But they need to be done correctly. For tall, an unspoken law applies: the gateway should be located 5 cm from the ankle. But since this technique visually shortens the legs, owners of more modest growth can reduce this distance to 2-3 cm.

The width of the gateway is also important. It is calculated very simply: the smaller your height, the narrower the width of the turn. This is a prerequisite, violating which, you will heavily weight the entire silhouette of the outfit.

The classic range of chinos is khaki or beige shades. And these colors will always be in fashion. However, in the current season it is worth paying attention to other color schemes.If the classics are more relevant for the official sphere, then for recreation you should choose a bright range.

For those who even in a casual style adhere to conservative views, chinos in deep blue or dark gray tones will be relevant.

Romantic pastel colors are now fashionable - pistachio, lavender, lemon.

Bright colors also have not been canceled! Red gamut - cranberry or fiesta color, green palette - the color of a fresh lawn or emerald.

Cornflower, amber, coral, and beige colors are also relevant this season. Chocolate or iced coffee is a great option for connoisseurs of sharp trends.

In women's and teenage fashion, chinos with bold prints take place. Plant, animal or abstract drawings will be relevant for a long time.

Chinos is a universal thing. They blend perfectly with almost any wardrobe items. But it is important to maintain the whole ensemble in one harmonious style.

To create an office look, combine these trousers with a shirt, jacket or knit sweater.

Observe minimalism in the matter of color schemes. Everything should be sustained in 2-3 colors, a monochrome composition is also acceptable, where only different shades of the same color are used.

More daring combinations of both styles and colors are appropriate in an informal setting. For a hot summer day, the top of such an ensemble can be a T-shirt, a shirt or a blouse.

On a cool evening, a sweatshirt with a cheerful print or a jacket (jeans or knitwear), cardigan, etc. is appropriate.

For both men and women, boaters (sailors and yachtsmen shoes), oxfords, sneakers, and sandals can be called ideal companions to chinos. The latter should be on a high sole.

For a cool time, desert boots are great shoes for chinos. Perfect combinations with some models of sneakers, with moccasins are possible.

At the same time, remember once and for all: no matter what shoes you choose to combine with chinos, socks in this ensemble are unacceptable!

Both shoes and the chinos belt are chosen according to one simple principle: if you want to create a more rigorous image, then the shoes and belt must be brown, and the trousers themselves must be of the classic range (khaki or beige).

To create an informal image, any color accessories that support the main gamut of the outfit are good. In any combination, avoid black - he does not have a place next to chinos.

Shoes and a handbag matched by the classical principle will look very impressive - seasoned in one gamut. No less impressive is the combination of a belt and shoes according to a similar principle.

For cool weather, it is important to use scarves and neck scarves in ensembles with chinos, wound with the creation of air volume.

Classic khaki chinos, a simple t-shirt and converse sneakers - everything ingenious is simple.
