Chino & Khaki Pants Fit Guide - Men's Clothing Fit Guide

About this video

Weston provides a comprehensive guide to fitting chinos properly, covering the waist, seat, thighs, and length. She explains how chinos should sit on the hips, how to assess whether the seat is too tight or too loose, the ideal thigh fit with a fabric pinch test, and why chinos should have little to no break at the hem.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues the waist should fit snugly without a belt and sit between the mid to upper hipbone area, similar to jeans but lower than suit pants
• Weston recommends the seat should lightly hug the buttocks without being tight enough to risk splitting or so loose it appears saggy; tailoring or fitness adjustments are options if sizing doesn’t work
• Weston advises the thigh should allow pinching one to one-and-a-half inches of fabric on either side, and suggests sizing down or trying different styles rather than paying for tailor alterations
• Weston states chinos should have a slight to no break at the hem, which she argues looks sharp and flatters all body types and heights
