My pick: a medium gray pair of chinos. I'm in college and my gray chinos have been a workhorse for over a year. They match with any color (except more gray IMO) and I've worn them with anything from sneakers and a t-shirt to Chelsea boots and a navy blazer. I also own navy, olive and a pair of khaki jeans and blue jeans
I’ve lost 100 lbs over the past 14 months. I started with 46 and now wear a 36 skinny fit! To keep my clothing budget from exploding I tried Amazon Goodthreads as I’ve sized down. They fit me well, no complaints. I can’t say how well they will hold up as I haven’t kept a pair for more than 3 months.
I wear the same brand as they are one of the few brands with really long legs. I think they last the same as most other brands. Congrats on the weight loss.
I bought two pairs of chinos( khaki and olive green) and they completely changed my style to way better. Everyone noticed in the office. I will buy navy chino this week. I definitely recommend it
Favorite brand of chinos are easily the RSQ brand you get from Tilly’s, specifically the skinny fit. I skateboard regularly, so they have a good amount of stretch to them, I think like 3% spandex. I typically wear them for casual outfits, but I used to work in an office setting that was business casual. For that, I always wore a nice button shirt with a tie and paired them with some cole haan oxfords that would be suede or leather. They are also more of a high rise pant, so for someone like myself who is shorter, I feel it looks better and if you have to tuck in the button shirt, you’ll look taller too. Such versatile pants.
Its great to watch you because I lean on the blues and HATE the olive BUT because I am watching you, you are helping me build confidence in the olive. Maybe giving them a try. Great videos
Honestly, I only have one pair and it's a navy blue pair I got from Old Navy for 15 bucks. They fit great, look great, and honestly the quality is pretty nice. Nothing premium for sure, but for a cheap starter pair (I've had mine since January) they work great.
Uniqlo and Club Monaco fit me perfectly. I have all the colours from Uniqlo, probably like 7 pairs and two from CM. I get compliments all the time in my Uniqlos.
The chinos from Target's brand Goodfellow are pretty solid and hard to beat at about $20 a pair. Plus they have tons of colors, and sizes 28X30 i believe.
If you're trying to make chinos the main staple of your wardrobe, I think Banana Republic is the way to go because they have so much variety in their dyes while keeping it thoughtful and not too flashy. Various trims and fittings as well. Can be a bit long so you might need to get them altered, but you should be doing that for most of your pants anyway.
Nice video. My favorite is Banana Republic rapid movement Chinos. They fit me perfectly. I particularly like the inner fly button behind the zipper. Helps give that perfect fit without relying necessarily on a belt. However I usually do wear one.
@@BrockMcGoff The Travelers are pretty sweet to. They're pretty stretchy and roomy for a slim cut. I almost feel guilty when I wear them. They feel as comfortable as pajamas... 😉😉😉
Luigi Borrelli, because they come in all shades, have Italian flair and a ton of hand work. Also, their fit is sublime, fairly slim, but plenty of room to move. Also the hand sewn, skirted waist band they do is the most comfortable I've ever worn! I also love the stretch chinos by Brunello Cucinelli. Great fit and style.
I'm first watching this thinking, this ain't the style og or fashion over 40 guy, but I was pleasantly surprised with how informative this vid was, even some history on the chino, good vid thx.
Thank you, Brock, for another informative video. As a chino wearer approximately five days a week, your video provided some great tips, especially for the shorter guy as myself (I, too, am 5'6"). Continue your great work. Peace.
Great video, Just ordered the olive chino, from J-Crew.. Now I’m have 5 color of chinos.. I think J - Crew and banana fit great for my body.. Brock hair looks awesome...
Waqas Mehmood i have black, tan, Grey, Navy, and Blue grayish from Michael Kors, It’s very versatile it’s look great with button down and nice basic tee shirt..
I bought a pair of grey chinos from Target. My first pair. Really surprised with the fit and how comfortable they look. I will look to get a pair from a higher end store soon and in a different color! Thanks for the vid and info as always!
Tbh Target, at least where I live, has the best selection of chinos at very reasonable prices. It's not even worth going to other stores because they are harder to find, more expensive, and dont appears better in any way.
Found a couple fum Vulcom, I love them. They rit really nice and compliment my tall, slim figure. They are called the modified straight. I choose two pairs kaaki and navy for day and night in modified straight which is pretty much in between slim somehow.
Great video content!!Right now it’s GOODFELLOW from Target! Great fit, nice semi-velvety feel, great colors and cut choices and the price. These beat out my All Saints, my Banana Republic and my Gap. I like Gap too though.
I have been wearing Lands End chinos for a very long time. I like their long rise pleated. I wear them cuffed. Kaki, white or stone and navy are my choices.
Wow! Thanks for this video in Chinos Brock! Very helpful. Can you do a video about pairing belts and shoes? Like safe shades to pair, especially leather belts and shoes. 😀
Even though I’m female, I wear pretty much just chinos! I can actually fit stuff in my pockets and I feel great wearing them no matter the occasion! ❤️ Gap and Uniqlo are my favourites as they always fit me right from the rack and guys, please wear more chinos! I just love it when guys wear them! ☺️😍
Great video! My go to chino's are Everlane midweight straight or J crew 770s, even being shorter, I seem to like the silhouette of a straight fit, both Everlane and the J crew 770s have a generous rise. Cheers
I just began wearing Chinos....always been a jeans guy. .bought from j crew 2 pairs..Grey n navy blue... Quick question Where to obtain for taller men???...I'm 6"5...
great video!Thanks for sharing your thoughts.I wear BR Aiden Slim Fit mostly but recently discovered Dockers Smartflex Chinos which i think fit better and are nicely tapered at the bottom unlike BR aiden.I find BR hard to cuff for that exact same reason.
Great video will be passing video to my husband. We're planning on trying out Duer and their chinos. Also your hair looks amazing, loving the length a lot
Quite a long time ago had a pair of Banana Republic and Dockers chinos which were perfect for me. Right now got a pair of chinos from Amazon they are not as narrow near the ankles as I would like, will check Uniqlo's soon
Nice video Brock. I think your hair is looking great on you. I am currently growing mine out too and in month 4 I think. Nowhere near this length yet and in the awkward stage.
Upvoted for educating people on the difference between "chino" and "khaki." And also on the existence of Ethan Wong. And for getting Bonobos' ridiculous price range right (although J. Crew's is just as absurd). Also -- you don't like gray chinos?
Express (when on sale which is common) is a good place for chinos as well. It’d be cool to see your opinion on them for the essential types of clothing like t-shirts and pants/shorts
Levi's XX Chinos both my Pink and dark gray color. Very comfortable. Had to get them tailored but I love the fit and comfort! Make sure to buy the high quality versions. Also, Dickies slim fit chinos.
Awesome video Brock really loved it. Although I think I’m leaving the short gang 🤧 I’m 5’8” or around 5’9” in shoes. I’m 15 so I’m still growing pray that I hit 6’0” boys.
Dude, hang from a chin up bar like three times a week and twist back and forth to loosen and stretch your spine. You are young so it may add an inch or so if you do it for six months.
I like chinos except for the slash pockets, which always seems to puff out no matter how well the pants fit in general. I'll always opt for a chino-style pant with jeans-style pockets.
Appreciate the way you edited the summary up on screen for breaking down the sections of the fit advice! I just bought some grey chinos to switch up from khaki but still contrast with blue and am hoping it works out (for UK peeps, I'd recommend Next and M&S)
One thing too don’t go too skinny with them since they are a more lightweight material than jeans it’ll show a lot more creases and a few more of your body than you’ll like go for a slim or straight or even skinny but make sure it’s not too tight
I can say chinos are the best, so easy to pair with. And here in Philippines where "Ukay-ukay" is a thing, you can get branded chinos like Uniqlo, Zara, Old Navy..... for just 50pesos (1USDollar). I have 5 chinos, all from ukay ukay.
Target has a great chinos, I currently have an olive pair of Goodfellow's and (believe it or not) Vans also has great slim fit chinos. I have a dark gray pair and I wear them more than jeans (they're all available in 28in waist, which is what I wear)
Great information Brock. I tried the website for outfit ideas (specifically chinos with a sports jacket) but couldn’t find the related article. Did I miss something? Also, you recommended the Scary Pockets TH-cam channel on the podcast and I’ve been really enjoying it! Thanks!
Big fan Brock, though definitely not your target audience at 6’3 and 255. The PMNYC leather jacket looks great, but their 4xl is a size too small - any similar jackets you know of to accommodate bigger guys? Or maybe pull some strings and get a 5xl on the go haha! Thanks for all the content.
Chinos are the perfect middle ground between jeans and dress pants, and they’re essential in an interchangeable wardrobe
My pick: a medium gray pair of chinos.

Good for you. I hope you're still feeling healthy and found a weight you're happy with
I bought two pairs of chinos( khaki and olive green) and they completely changed my style to way better. Everyone noticed in the office. I will buy navy chino this week. I definitely recommend it
The internet needed a NEW 2019 chino guide- thanks!
Thank you for watching!
@Chris Powell I hear you. Those old video guides need to be updated, like this one.
Why? Just follow those rules
Favorite brand of chinos are easily the RSQ brand you get from Tilly’s, specifically the skinny fit. I skateboard regularly, so they have a good amount of stretch to them, I think like 3% spandex.

Chinos all day every day. I dont even wear jeans anymore. I prefer Uniqlo but love PM chinos as well.
Nasty
Such a great video. Highly informative, practical, and with great photo examples of how to dress chinos up or down. Thanks, Brock!
Its great to watch you because I lean on the blues and HATE the olive BUT because I am watching you, you are helping me build confidence in the olive. Maybe giving them a try. Great videos
Those target Goodfellow & Co chinos are amazingly well made for the price and the fit is on point. The right amount of material and the right texture.
M A S S I V E T H I G H S
I have massive thighs when i sit down
T.H.I.C.C
An informed and sincere video on my favorite pant option. Thanks!
Yo! Two of my favorite youtubers in one place!
Honestly, I only have one pair and it's a navy blue pair I got from Old Navy for 15 bucks. They fit great, look great, and honestly the quality is pretty nice. Nothing premium for sure, but for a cheap starter pair (I've had mine since January) they work great.
I've had a pair of olive Arizona slim fit chinos for a couple years and they're definitely my favorite pants in my closet
I picked up a pair of chinos from Ministry of Supply recently - they look great, and they have this super-comfy 4-way stretch on them.
Uniqlo and Club Monaco fit me perfectly. I have all the colours from Uniqlo, probably like 7 pairs and two from CM. I get compliments all the time in my Uniqlos.
L B I’m gonna have to try Uniqlo.
Everything a man would ever need is in uniqlo. Except shoes
I’m an Asian female and Uniqlo is one of the only places that fit me straight away!
The chinos from Target's brand Goodfellow are pretty solid and hard to beat at about $20 a pair. Plus they have tons of colors, and sizes 28X30 i believe.
Outstanding video. Much needed. Will keep as a reference to build my wardrobe.
Thanks for watching!
Got about 10 different colours of chinos. All altered to fit perfect. Thank you for the outfit ideas Brock.
If you're trying to make chinos the main staple of your wardrobe, I think Banana Republic is the way to go because they have so much variety in their dyes while keeping it thoughtful and not too flashy. Various trims and fittings as well. Can be a bit long so you might need to get them altered, but you should be doing that for most of your pants anyway.
Chinos are definitely my every day choice, I'm 1,70 and honestly ASKET chinos are the best fitting ones I've ever laid my hands on
Banana Republic fulton fit ..makes any shirt look good
Nice video. My favorite is Banana Republic rapid movement Chinos. They fit me perfectly. I particularly like the inner fly button behind the zipper. Helps give that perfect fit without relying necessarily on a belt. However I usually do wear one.
Ah yeah, I like that extra button too. The BR "Core Temp" slim pants are some of my current favorites, although they're not really chinos.

Bonobos chinos are my absolute favorite.

perfect presentation! you forgot white and salmon chinos for chinos extended wardrobe. currentky i love my Levis chinos
Olive green and navy chinos are my favourite types but black and grey are decent too.
I do appreciate your videos.

Chinos are the go-to when it's extra O.D. Hot outside, great vid Brock!
I'm addicted to your videos. Great content!
Great video content!!Right now it’s GOODFELLOW from Target! Great fit, nice semi-velvety feel, great colors and cut choices and the price. These beat out my All Saints, my Banana Republic and my Gap. I like Gap too though.
I have been wearing Lands End chinos for a very long time. I like their long rise pleated. I wear them cuffed. Kaki, white or stone and navy are my choices.
This topic has really got rid of my confusion and misunderstanding about some of colleagues's choices.
First video of yours I’ve seen and got to say, you got a new sub. A lot of useful information to get me looking right
Wow! Thanks for this video in Chinos Brock! Very helpful. Can you do a video about pairing belts and shoes? Like safe shades to pair, especially leather belts and shoes. 😀

*The chinos H&M sell fit really great.*
Definitely would’ve liked to see a Chinos look book from you. Keep up the dope content 💯👌🏽

how about give some tips on washing, maintain and iron chinos?
Great video! My go to chino's are Everlane midweight straight or J crew 770s, even being shorter, I seem to like the silhouette of a straight fit, both Everlane and the J crew 770s have a generous rise. Cheers

.bought from j crew 2 pairs..Grey n navy blue...
Quick question
Where to obtain for taller men???...I'm 6"5...
My fav chino color is Olive
Can you do a video on how to dress in the gym? Athletic wear dos and do not's...please! Thank you sir!!!!
Been waiting for such a video from you for a long time. Great work!
great video!Thanks for sharing your thoughts.I wear BR Aiden Slim Fit mostly but recently discovered Dockers Smartflex Chinos which i think fit better and are nicely tapered at the bottom unlike BR aiden.I find BR hard to cuff for that exact same reason.
Love that pic when u are sitting on the tree brock!
I just bought some Izod straight-fit chinos with stretch and I honestly like them.
the all red head lights looks fire..if u ask me..
GAP slim fit chinos are the only ones that fit me perfectly.
Great video will be passing video to my husband. We're planning on trying out Duer and their chinos. Also your hair looks amazing, loving the length a lot

Also -- you don't like gray chinos?
I do like grey, actually (lighter and darker shades)! But I'd still take olive first.
J Crew’s are actually only $68
I bought two pairs of ultra lightweight chinos and I feel more comfortable in them than shorts
Super calm. Yet super detailed. Love ur vids
I didn't know the word chino has a connection with China. Learned something new!
Stumbled on this today & I love your channel 👍🏽
I'm a teen and I always just defaulted to jeans, but you probably just made me switch...
Love my Joseph Abboud Chinos in a burgundy color
Express (when on sale which is common) is a good place for chinos as well. It’d be cool to see your opinion on them for the essential types of clothing like t-shirts and pants/shorts
Hi there! Another "chino" is passing through here!! (well, I'm Japanese actually....XD) joke aside, I'm a huge fan of your videos! thanks.
Hey, thanks!
Levi's XX Chinos both my Pink and dark gray color. Very comfortable.
Had to get them tailored but I love the fit and comfort! Make sure to buy the high quality versions.
Also, Dickies slim fit chinos.
i choose blue and navy colour for jean; and olive, brown, beige for chino
at tne moment my fav is Dockers 360 smart flex. may be next i'll try Uniqlo since you recommended it. Thanks.
I also really like Dockers chinos. Don't love them for other stuff but their chinos are great.
Awesome video Brock really loved it. Although I think I’m leaving the short gang 🤧 I’m 5’8” or around 5’9” in shoes. I’m 15 so I’m still growing pray that I hit 6’0” boys.
Tyler Gowan play basketball and you’ll make it
Wilmar Alburquerque someday when I’m big and strong 😂
Dude, hang from a chin up bar like three times a week and twist back and forth to loosen and stretch your spine. You are young so it may add an inch or so if you do it for six months.
I dunno but I prefer Uniqlo classic chinos and colored “jeans” of twill cotton variety. Too bad, Dockers is no longer available in the market.
Uniqlo would be the best for me.they fit perfectly in length,waist,rise,taper and every thing else off the rack
I like chinos except for the slash pockets, which always seems to puff out no matter how well the pants fit in general. I'll always opt for a chino-style pant with jeans-style pockets.
Chinos: the most versatile pants made!
Awesome video.. I watched a lot your video as always great job. Can you do the same video for jeans.
wow, really good and helpful video.
lacoste chinos have done the trick in the past
Great content mate. Love all your videos

No mention of grey chinos? More versatile than tan, olive or navy

@@geraldmoyo6392 I believe he said ?! 1$=50 pesos

I've actually decided my business casual dress will only be chinos. When I don't have to go to a client I will be rocking my chinos and a nice polo.
What brand of brown loafer?
