About this video

McGoff provides a comprehensive guide to chinos, covering their history, construction, and styling. He explains how chinos differ from similar pants like jeans, khakis, and dress pants, then details proper fit considerations, business casual applications, color selection, shoe pairings, and recommended brands.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues chinos are the most versatile pants, suitable for casual to business casual settings, and recommends a slim but not skinny fit for most body types
• McGoff suggests the most versatile chino colors are tan/khaki, olive, and navy, with olive being his personal choice for mixing with lighter or darker outfits
• McGoff recommends several chino brands including Peter Manning NYC, Everlane, Uniqlo, Banana Republic, and Bonobos, highlighting specific styles for different seasons and body types
• McGoff disagrees with the notion that shorter men shouldn’t cuff their pants, arguing that a short cuff allows control over length and can show off socks or ankles without appearing awkward
