There comes a point every summer (or, at least, so one hopes) when it’s too warm to wear jeans. One day they’re right, the next day the weight of denim and the tightness of the fabric’s weave is too much. A cooler alternative must be sought. This is where chinos come in.

They’re the warm-weather alternative to jeans but with added versatility, because, while jeans work with jackets, they inevitably dress them down. The right pair of chinos, however, slot in under a blazer and shirt just as well as they do under a plain white T-shirt or a grey marl sweatshirt. They have a sleekness that makes them a touch smarter than jeans, thanks to their inconspicuous set-in pockets, and the fact that they’re a solid Colour, with no fade lines.
