Chinos in black fabrics offer a versatile and comfortable choice of pants for leisure wear. They are a convenient midway point between jeans and dress pants, putting the emphasis on comfort. Black chino pants are a practical choice for informal occasions, maybe a night in a bar or dinner with the family. The Stylight site rounds up the varieties of chinos in black, from the dressy to the casual.

3 Ways to Boldly Wear Black Chinos

Chinos have long been the warm-weather alternative to jeans but in this case with added comfort and versatility. The right pair of chinos in a sharp neutral like black have a sleekness that makes them a touch smarter than jeans and less rigid than trousers thanks to their inconspicuous set-in pockets and ultra-relaxed silhouette.

Here we’re showing you the secrets to boldly wearing and pairing this versatile pant.

Mix With Denim

Chinos combined with a similar texture like denim makes for a perfect smart-casual outfit that’s well suited for going to the office, brunch and beyond. Team a tailored dark denim shirt with your black bottoms and finish with crisp white sneakers for added contrast.

Anchor A Print

Black chinos are dark enough to almost look formal which means you can have fun with whatever you want on top. Pair yours with an eye-popping floral or graphic print button-up, slip-ons and a bomber jacket for an easy after-hours look.

Go Tonal With a Tee

Black bottoms are the ideal blank canvas for playing with color (or lack thereof). Try a soft black tee on top that almost looks gray and finish with black boots and a moto jacket for a sharp take on monochrome dressing.

When you have a solid standby color like black and mix it with a classic pant like chinos, you have a versatile staple that’s suited for anyone’s style.

Black is always back.
