Discount Dapper Tip of the Week

Hi Friends. Today I’m going to give a brief overview of one of my favorite pants to wear: Chinos!

Chinos are a type of pant made from a durable cotton twill fabric called chino cloth. They are known for their versatility and comfort. The name “chino” is often incorrectly used interchangeably with “khaki” which actually refers to a specific shade of brown.

Chinos are more versatile than most people realize. Their smart yet relaxed aesthetic allows them to be dressed up or down depending on the items you choose to pair them with. They can be paired with almost any type of top, from t-shirts to oxford shirts to crewneck sweaters. Chinos also work well with a variety of shoes, including sneakers, boots, and loafers.

The variety of colors in which chinos are available is another factor that enhances their versatility. Chinos come in a wide range of colors, from classic neutrals like navy and olive to more playful shades like red and pink.

The lightweight fabric makes chinos more breathable than other fabrics like denim and wool. This means that unlike jeans and wool pants, you can pretty much wear them all year round.

For more info on Chinos and how to wear them checkout this Youtube video, and here is another article that goes over some different brands to consider. Also here is some style inspo!

Favorite Sales

1. Macy’s: up to 40% off select watches [LINK]

   1. Jordan's Take: As is typical for a department store sale, Macy’s has 1.21 gigawatches worth of items to sort through in this sale, and everyone is looking for something different in a watch. I would use their sort feature to pick out your favorite brands, and price range you are looking for. Below are some of my personal favs.
