Gardeur Mens Chino Benito Dark Beige

Chinos are lightweight trousers made from cotton twill, usually with a slim or tapered leg and slanted front pockets. They sit between jeans and tailored trousers, so they work for both casual and smart-casual outfits.

Chinos go with almost anything: Oxford shirts and polos for smart-casual, knitwear in colder months, and plain T-shirts for a relaxed look.

Loafers, brogues, desert boots and clean leather trainers all work well with chinos. Chunky sports trainers are best kept for casual outfits.

Gardeur is a German brand known for well-made men's trousers and jeans. We stock the Bradley in rinse, black and stone washes. You can also order online and choose free Collect In-Store at our Banbridge shop.

Jeans with stretch tend to loosen slightly as you wear them, so a snug but comfortable fit when you first try them on is usually right. For rigid, non-stretch denim, stick to your usual size.
