    What the hell do you wear with chinos?
    I've recently bought some really nice beige chinos.

    Lovely, but i need a top right? I have shirts of different colours etc but some of them just dont go and im soo confused.

    I have some dark brown brogues to go with them, but as for the top and jacket i have NO idea.

    Polo shirt, brown shoes. Maybe a smart casual shirt, but not a T-shirt.

    Whatever you do, don't wear Jack Wills

    Pale chinos are really only for the summer, at an event when shorts would be too casual. They're the kind of thing you wear to a garden party. Only ever wear them with brown shoes, a brown belt, and a tucked in shirt or polo shirt at a push. A plain smart sweater also looks acceptable. They're kind of restrictive I guess.

    Shirt - (pink or blue) and sports jacket (preferably one with reinforced elbow patches) Brown shoes - broagues maybe? That's my standard way of dressing myself but I'm not exactly known for my sense of fashion.

    They slim leg ones? Roll em up at the bottoms, tan brogues, lighter denim shirt and a barbour quilted jacket.
