See Now, Buy Now: Todd Snyder’s 5-Pocket Chinos Blend the Best of Both Worlds, Any Time of Year

It can be tricky to find an improved version of a classic you’ve been wearing for years, be it hard-working blue denim, the right chambray shirt or an everyday pair of stretch chinos.

The chino’s military roots have come a long way, and designer Todd Snyder certainly has a healthy respect for those roots — durable, dependable design is the name of the game, and it makes perfect sense that the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos manage to improve upon the versatile design of this all-time menswear classic. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

The best chinos for men step things up from dark blue or light wash denim in any season, for starters, with a crisp look that wears nicely in situations both business casual (an Oxford shirt and a navy cotton blazer make for a wise pairing), and casually rugged (a henley and shawl cardigan, anyone?).

Even as summer’s heat hangs in there these last few weeks of August, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos bridge the gap between seasons — they mimic the same build as reliable jeans, yet use a stretch garment-dyed cotton twill blend for supreme comfort and a sense of style that’s just a touch more elevated than regular blue jeans.

Call the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos a wardrobe upgrade heading into a new season, but don’t call ’em boring: The award-winning designer says these handsome pants are “casual yet elevated, comfy yet polished, and ready for just about anything,” and I tend to agree (as you know if you’ve read the blog over the years!).

In my experience, there’s hardly a thing the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos can’t do, be it pairing ’em up with a simple cotton pocket T-shirt or wearing them to the office alongside a chambray dress shirt and leather chukka boots.

It’s a major bonus that they come in a range of crisply cut, highly wearable colors: There’s the dressy, navy Nightwatch, the deep brown Glazed Pecan, even sharply designed Black and a light Olive Vine shade.

Available in both Slim and Straight fits, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos should prove every bit as wearable as your favorite go-to jeans, yet with a touch more polish — as we so often like to shop for (and wear!) at this Brooklyn style blog.

Throw these on with your favorite worn-in pair of Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots or else lace up some new leather high-top sneakers (or a pair of Todd Snyder x Sperry boat shoes to close out summer). Make no mistake, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos can do everything you ask them to do, and then some — there’s no better way to get ready for fall, my friends.

Best everyday work pants for men.

As we continue to step into a new year, I’m all about reliability in your menswear wardrobe — clothing that looks great, fits well, wears even better and matches up nicely with plenty of picks in the rest of your style rotation.

Sticking to those core principles will serve you plenty well in a lot of different style situations, but especially as you head back to the office, right? And that’s where a pair of stylish men’s pants from Bonobos can step in as a wardrobe workhorse.

Shop men’s pants and more at Bonobos

If those pants happen to be a premium update to a time-honored silhouette, that’s all the better: For instance, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants deliver the goods in that area. Plenty of Bonobos reviews cover how well the long-running NYC company does in matters of fit, fabric and comfort — again, those are all keys that can go a long way towards revamping your office wardrobe (or anytime wardrobe!) in the new year (and beyond, of course).

Like other pairs of Bonobos men’s pants in my experience, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants should deliver a supremely comfortable build in terms of fabrication and fit. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the five-pocket construction wears like a jean, yet can be dressed up like a chino when done the right way.

Plus, the soft garment-dyed cotton is built with a touch of stretch for ease of movement, while the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants come in a range of colors to rival your favorite dress pants or chinos.

They’re a touch more easygoing, they wear as well with a henley for Sunday brunch as they do with an Oxford shirt for Monday morning, and they’re every bit as comfortable as stretch jeans — just with a touch more polish and color. Yessir, the Bonobos Italian Brushed 5-Pocket Pants could take the cake as your new go-to workday pants.

And by that, I mean today’s featured pick: The Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos live up to their name and then some, delivering an air of polish and comfort as the mercury rises.

Relwen men's chinos review.

Relwen rises above the fray in the menswear world, using military and workwear inspiration to craft modern updates to the classics, from a rugged linen workshirt to the aforementioned lightweight stretch chinos. That’s the sort of balance I appreciate, with a respect for heritage styles meeting the use of modern technology. When it comes to the Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos, the use of a lightweight cotton — blended with spandex — gives them a light-as-air feel and a nice hint of stretch, in my experience.

Plus, the Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos boast a classic slim-straight cut, the kind that flatters most frames and is neither too constricting nor overly relaxed. I’ve found that the Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos sit nicely atop everything from Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger boots to Clarks chukka boots to my preferred canvas high-top sneakers from Chuck Taylor in the summer months.

Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos review.

Durable details also set the Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos apart from the pack, like a gusseted crotch and pleated knees — all the better for comfortable range of motion on the go. A sturdy snap button and hard-working zipper hardware also lends a further air of durability to the Relwen Flyweight Flex Chinos.

Add in the fact that they come in a range of neutral, earthy and stylish colors, and you’ve found a pair of pants worth stocking up on before the high heat of summer hits. If that sounds ideal to you, then your new favorite pair of chinos awaits via Huckberry and Relwen.

For all the useful gear you’ve got in your rotation of winter style essentials, sometimes, things need to be leveled up a little bit. Take a pair of the best men’s chinos, for instance. Particularly a pair from Flint and Tinder, the excellent in-house brand at Huckberry. Now, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are already a year-round classic in terms of fit, fabric and versatility (with the cut of a jean and the style potential of a chino).

But what about when truly cold winter weather hits and you need something with a little more “oomph” in the mix? Enter the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants, here not a moment too soon when it comes to fighting back against winter weather — in style, of course.

They’ve got plenty of functionality built into every stitch, with inspiration drawn from vintage Army field trousers. And unlike typical chino pants, the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants are made from a sturdily knit Bedford Cord cotton blended with stretch for comfort (and mobility out in the field this winter).

But the real kicker? The use of double-brushed cotton flannel as the lining, a true upgrade that elevates these durable pants from good to great.

It helps that the lining itself gives the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants an added shot of style points (as seen by the folded cuffs atop some of your favorite winter boots above). And certainly, loyal fans of Huckberry (perhaps yourself included!) have responded, as the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants are selling quite fast this season.

It should come as no surprise, seeing as they blend field-ready warmth with the sort of style that wouldn’t look out of place on a more casual day at the office or around town.

See Now, Buy Now: Hit the Road This Winter (And Beyond) With the Bonobos Travel Trousers

Most comfortable travel pants for men.

As we’ve talked about in the past on the blog, there’s a tricky balance to strike when it comes to how to dress for travel. As more of us get back on the road properly this year, the quest for both comfort and style remains at the forefront, and that’s where the best men’s pants for travel come into play.

Specifically, they’re coming at you from Bonobos, makers of some of the best men’s chinos and stretch pants. So, just as you’ve adopted a new wardrobe to work from home (or occasionally at the office), your travel style needs should shift, too — in that case, folks, meet the Bonobos Travel Trousers. The very definition of the intersection of style and comfort, no doubt about it (keep reading for more).

Best men's stretch pants.

As with many a pair of comfortable yet stylish pants, you’ll find these stylish pants for travel in the Bonobos New Arrivals section, always a space worth keeping an eye, whether you’re packing for a weekend road trip or simply heading back into your cubicle. The Bonobos Travel Trousers manage to boast the clean, creased-front look of your best pair of dress trousers, but with plenty of hidden features that deliver the comfort you crave (and the polished, office or travel-ready style you need on the daily).

The Bonobos Travel Trousers are made from a blend of rayon, nylon and spandex, all the better for loads of stretch and mobility. And yet, they also feature a clean front waist design, not unlike the same waist design you’d find on a pair of sharp, tailored dress trousers. The major difference, though? An elastic waistband and sizing done by general size (as in, Small or Medium) versus waist measurements. Whether you team them with one of the best wool sweaters or a Bonobos Oxford shirt for days on the road or on the 9-to-5 grind, the Bonobos Travel Trousers epitomize what it means to look good on the go.

Helpfully when it comes to the Bonobos Lightweight Stretch Chinos, you can also take your pick from three cool-as-can-be colors, including the ever-versatile Dark Surf as worn above. Beyond that, you can pair up each set with everything from a white short-sleeve henley — for high-low casual style — to a crisp Oxford shirt. To round things out nicely, you can score the Bonobos Lightweight Stretch Chinos for under $100. The next time you want to beat the heat in style, this pair might just be your best bet.
