STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Suave in the Summer

July 24th, 2015 at 2:00am

Does summer always have to guarantee the season of shorts and tank tops for men? Or are there other hidden clothing styles that can keep you cool and trendy? Chino pants cuffed at the shin have made their way onto the fashion scene and with their various textures and versatility, chinos are an item that all men should add to their wardrobe.

When thinking of this trend, I am always taken back through many eras of fashion, especially those in the movie Grease. Matched with button-downs, leather jackets or even a plain T-shirt, chino pants cuffed at the shin have always made a suave statement. They give off a slightly classier appearance than denim, yet still provide comfort when you go from class to a guy’s night out. New styles are continuously being created to enhance this classic look. Whether it is corduroy, patterned or plain and simple, a pair of chino pants is an item that Fashionistos can never be unsure about.

So what are some good tips on pulling off the chino look? Well, check out this Fashionisto and his suave ensemble. Worn with a long sleeved, floral button-down, this Fashionisto has mastered rocking the versatility of chinos. His look can easily be switched to a night out on the town by rolling up his sleeves and adding a skinny colored belt. Finishing off the look, this Fashionisto wore a pair of khaki, hard-soled oxfords, giving off a smooth, monochromatic feel on the bottom half of his look.
