Where to buy chinos.
Where are you guys buying chinos? I haven’t bought a pair since the 2016 slim fit days. Love the fits here I’ve seen with wider fits.
Also if I’m buying 2 pairs what colors are the best?

color is subjective and based on your wardrobe
what is your budget?
how do you dress?
The meme answer to this question is to buy PRL Andrew Pants on eBay but a better answer will depend on your answer to Shrimp's questions
J Crew Giant Fit Chinos
Here I am wearing them
Good questions! Should’ve thought of these in my original post.
As for color i prefer the classics. Khaki, navy, olive. Sort of in that $100 range. I’m revamping my wardrobe at the moment. I’m a recovered 2016 heritage menswear guy. These days I wear 501’s, solid color t shirts, over shirts/chore coats, the occasional double knee/workwear pants. As I’m building my wardrobe I’m using the mfa 7.0 wardrobe inspo album as a guide. https://imgur.com/a/Hd69nWZ

I’ve been so curious about these but worried I couldn’t pull them off. They look awesome here!
You can totally pull them off. They’re not super thin, so they fall very nicely. They do run a touch short though.
I recommend checking out Uniqlos offerings for cheap options, the JCrew Giant fit, Community Clothing if you’re UK based or some of the Japanese Repro Brands (outside of your budget).
Vintage pieces from PRL and JCrew (~90s) are also very on trend for width.
Yeah my only problem with them is that they could stand to be like an inch or two longer at least haha
bronson mfg has chinos of various size and width for under $100 consistently
uniqlo/abercrombie/j.crew giant chinos on sale are decent if you're looking at mall brands
brands like casatlantic, jack donnelly, universal works and vintage polo are all good if you find a pair secondhand/on ebay
This is good news for me because pants tend to be too long on me 😂
