    Chinos :eek: i hope you took them back? If my wife bought me a pair of chinos, i would set fire to them!



    Was thinking that to and then thought OP must be around 50-60, :)


    Mistaken again as he is only 31 and wearing these would in my view make you look nearer to my initial thought of age.

    I think chinos and polo shirts are great for Summer. For me they would be a bit casual as I tend to wear really bright smart trousers in various colours. But I think for most people chinos look good.

    I was going to suggest walking trousers too. Husband has just worn them for most of the last week, and I wear them a lot too

    So what do smart young men wear if they're not wearing chinos?

    Haha! He is 31 :eek: that is nearly my age and he's already in chino's! He better have words with his wife. I was thinking he is late forties at least.

    I think chinos are fairly ageless. They are just plain cotton trousers.

    Otherwise what's the choice? What does someone who is late 20's/early 30's wear to be smart? A: a pair of trousers, usually chinos from what I see ...
