Among chinos with military or work-inspired origins, wide chinos have an outstanding presence. In this issue, we focus on “wide chinos” and introduce their charm, tips on how to wear them, and recommended items!
What is the appeal of wide chinos?
Chino pants are bottoms with their roots in military and work. Therefore, wide silhouette chinos are different from ordinary wide pants and baggy jeans in terms of their masculinity and brawniness. While wide pants, which are gaining popularity in the mainstream these days, are mainly associated with an effortless mood and relaxed feel, wide chinos exude an authentic atmosphere and retain a strong military or work essence. In particular, earthy wide chinos in beige or olive green tones are perfect for creating a martial mood and masculinity.

Wide chinos If you want to modernize your look, pay attention to the length!
If you want to wear wide chinos in a modern way, stick to the full-length length and let the hem land on the back of the shoe or cushion it appropriately (half cushion or one cushion). Today, it is not limited to wide chinos, but “wear thicker pants with a longer length to create a cushion at the hem” is the mainstream.
It is not a bad idea to roll up to ankle length, following the length of mode-style wide pants and hakama-like cropped pants by Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto, but it is somewhat more challenging to make the short length of wide chinos, which are different from mode and street-style pants, look smart. However, it is a little more difficult to make wide chinos look smart with their short length, which is different from the fashionable and street style pants.
