Chinos - What are they?
The term "chino" is derived from a Spanish word. It became synonymous with "khakis" when used to describe pants. Chinos were originally part of military uniforms in the UK and the US, made from strong cotton fabric. The military standard in the UK was to dye these pants in a tan khaki color, hence the name "khakis." Modern chinos can be dyed in various colors.
Chinos as military uniforms were simple slacks with straight waists, no pleats, and a tapered leg. The fabric was durable and suitable for warm conditions, providing adequate coverage. The khaki color gained popularity in the UK in the mid-19th century and was adopted by American soldiers as part of their standard military wear.
Popularity of khakis as everyday pants declined with the rise of more casual clothing trends. Jeans became the standard wear for attending school, although chinos are still commonly worn for informal events. The design styles have evolved, and both men and women can wear today's varieties.
By the early 20th century, chinos became increasingly popular for semi-formal gatherings. Young men would wear them to school or college, and by the 1940s, they became associated with the preppy look. The 1950s marked the peak of chino popularity, with most schoolboys and college men wearing these pants.
