How should chinos fit? The smart-casual trousers, Chinos are basics for any man’s wardrobe. Pulling off the chino 
look is easy, as long as you know what size and length you need. Let us take you through how to fit and style your chinos properly.
WAIST
Like all your pants, they should fit perfectly around your waist with no need for a belt to hold them up. Just because there are belt loops doesn’t mean you have to wear a belt. Chinos should sit comfortably on your waist. If you need to size up to fit your legs, then wear a belt to make sure your chinos sit properly. Or even better, have the waist taken in by a tailor.
SEAT
The butt area, AKA the seat, should lightly hug your butt and not be saggy or very tight. If it feels like you’ll split your pants when you sit or bend down, they’re too tight. If it looks like you’re carrying a full load, you should probably try a different fit or brand. if that doesn’t work, you may also be able to go down a size and see if that fixes the issue.
THIGHS
The thighs don’t want to fit too tight, you don’t want to feel like it’s pulling at the knees when you walk or bend down. You should be able to pinch a minimum of 1 inch of fabric but no more than 1.5 inches on either side of your thigh. Unlike jeans, you want a little more room in the thighs.
How long should chinos be?
Thanks to their lighter fabric, typically cotton-twill chinos lend themselves to a roll-up. But only roll them once or twice upon the hem so they end at the ankle. If you’re wearing them unrolled, the hem should hit the top of your shoes.
If you’re thinking about going sock-less with your chinos, then go with a slight break. This enables you to switch it up – if you want a no-break or cropped look, you can just roll them up and unroll them when you don’t want that any longer.
