chinos: behind the classic fit

Discover the journey of chinos, from their military origins to becoming a timeless wardrobe staple.

The history of men’s chinos began in the mid-19th century, with the creation of the khaki colour in India by a British army officer, to hide the effects of dust on soldiers’ white trousers.

However, it was in the 20th century that the chino cotton trouser became famous thanks to international trade through China and United States Army, spreading all over the world and becoming a classic item in the male wardrobe and a staple within fashion trends.

Men’s chinos trousers are the go-to alternative to denim jeans, and at MAUVAIS menswear we believe it’s an item that is easily adaptable to a casual-chic look, or classic styling, they are just right for holidays or that day to evening look if styled correctly. Lightweight and comfortable, they are particularly suitable in summer. Regardless of fashion trends of the moment, everyone can choose the most suitable model of chinos for his body and style.
