THROW HIM A BONE!  Spring Chinos - So Fresh, So Clean!

Spring has sprung, and I’ve been spotting more men pulling off the chinos worn with cuffs up, revealing a peek at the ankle.  This is a very hip, on trend look that any guy can pull off!  Worn right, they say, ‘Cool, Confident, yet Not Trying Too Hard To Please…’!  And us chicks respond by rubbernecking and checking your solid game out!  Ideally, you’re wearing your pants slim-cut, and always SANS (without) PLEATS, please!  I promise you that you will look 5lbs leaner by going pleat-free… everytime I see a guy in a double-pleated chino/khaki, I have to wonder what he’s trying to hide in each pleat - a deck of cards?  a small toddler from a village?  It’s not a flattering look.  So, keep it plain and simple, guys…  shades of khaki or grey for the classic look, or dare to be progressive and take on the brighter colors (see Gap’s Union Blue or Roseberry, or JCrew’s Dusty Baltic Stanton Pant).  EVERY MAN can take this look on… DO THIS!
