Men's casual pants: chinos and jeans
Our men's casual pants range brings together chinos, stretch pants and jeans from R.M.Williams, Rodd & Gunn, Polo Ralph Lauren and Levi's. They're the pants that work for weekends, the office and summer events.
We get asked a lot about the difference between a chino and a jean, and which works best in warmer weather. In short: a light-coloured chino is your summer go-to, and denim covers everything else. Shop dedicated men's chinos, or R.M.Williams pants and jeans. Read More
Quick answer: which casual pants should I buy?
A stone, tan or navy chino for smart casual and summer events.
A stretch chino, like the R.M.Williams Coolac, for all-day comfort.
A straight or slim jean for weekends and country wear.
Pair either with a leather belt and loafers, sneakers or boots.
Chinos or jeans: which is better for summer?
Chinos are generally the better summer choice. They're made from lighter cotton twill and come in lighter colours that stay cooler in the sun. Quick breakdown:
| Style | Examples | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Chinos | Rodd & Gunn Thomas Road Chino, R.M.Williams Coolac Stretch Cotton Chino | Smart casual, work, summer events |
| Stretch pants | Polo Ralph Lauren Prepster Classic Fit Stretch Pant | Relaxed comfort, travel |
| Jeans | Polo Ralph Lauren Sullivan Slim, Levi's 516 Straight Fit | Weekends, evenings, country wear |
| Work jeans | Lasso Heavy Duty Work Jean | Work and the farm |
How should casual pants fit?
Good casual pants sit comfortably at the waist and fall cleanly to the shoe. Key facts:
Waist: should sit without a belt being needed to hold them up.
Seat and thigh: room to move without bagginess.
Leg: slim and straight fits are the most versatile.
Length: a slight break at the shoe, or rolled once with loafers in summer.
Unsure about length? Our team can help you check the fit in one of our stores.
What do you wear with chinos in summer?
Chinos are the most versatile pants you can own. Our summer pairings:
Spring racing: chinos, a Polo Ralph Lauren linen shirt, belt and loafers.
Country event: chinos, an R.M.Williams shirt and R.M.Williams boots.
Weekend: chinos with an R.M.Williams polo and sneakers.

FAQs
What are men's casual pants?
Casual pants are any trousers made for everyday wear rather than suits, including chinos, stretch cotton pants and jeans. They're smart enough for most offices and events but comfortable enough for the weekend.
Are chinos cooler than jeans?
Yes, generally. Chinos are made from lighter cotton twill than most denim, and lighter colours reflect more heat, so they're more comfortable in warm weather. Stretch chinos add extra comfort for long days.
What colour chinos are most versatile?
Navy and stone or tan are the most versatile chino colours. They work with white, blue and striped shirts, polos and T-shirts, and with brown or black shoes and boots.
Can you wear chinos to a wedding?
Yes, for a smart-casual or daytime wedding. Choose a navy or stone chino, a crisp shirt, a leather belt and loafers or boots. For formal weddings, check whether a suit is expected.
How do I know my size in casual pants?
Start with your usual waist size and check the fit through the seat and thigh. Sizing varies between brands, so if you're unsure, try them on in one of our stores or get in touch with our team for advice.
