The Pick: The chino that will become a wardrobe staple

Don't go without these causal-cool trousers from Sunspel

The chino was initially designed to be worn by the British military as part of their uniform, but it’s not difficult to see how the trouser has stood the test of time; hardwearing yet comfortable, they’re an item which anchors your off-duty wardrobe. You’ll probably already have a pair of chinos, but much like other sartorial staples such as the white shirt or the black lace-up shoe, it doesn’t hurt to own more than one. Why not add to your collection with this pair from Sunspel?

Classic in every way, Sunspel’s chinos boast the typical flat-fronted, 5-pocket design, but have a slightly tapered leg which gives them a contemporary neat fit. Contrary to the idea that chinos are largely a summer trouser, Sunspel’s are also fabricated from a mid-weight cotton and in a versatile hue of navy which means you can wear them throughout the seasons. Pair these with your favourite sweater and luxe sneakers for cool, casual style that’s perfect for the current climate.
