While our upper half does a full wardrobe shuffle depending on the season – from chunky knits and jackets in winter, to layered fits in spring and autumn, and finally to ultralight tees in summer – our trousers remain surprisingly consistent. Sure, when temperatures hit sub-zero, a pair of winter chinos may be the better choice. And when the mercury hits 40°C in the shade, shorts are simply non-negotiable. But if there’s one pair of trousers that delivers year-round, come heatwave or cold snap, it’s the relaxed chino. Here are 5 reasons why you can wear relaxed chinos all year round – and why this one pair belongs at the very core of your wardrobe.
Every man knows the value of a good chino. As the original business-casual hero, the chino strikes the ideal balance between smart and comfortable – ready for the office, yet relaxed enough for off-duty. Traditionally cut in a straight or slim fit, the chino has now evolved into looser silhouettes that bring a fresh character, and more functionality. But what makes the relaxed chino stand out?
More room. More style. More chino.
The Relaxed Chino by SANVT ticks all the boxes: laid-back comfort, sharp style, and a touch of quiet confidence. The extra-wide cut offers maximum freedom of movement – without sacrificing elegance. The silhouette is classic, but the loose fit brings a sharp, modern upgrade.
Crafted from a premium blend of 97% stretchy cotton and 3% elastane, it regulates temperature and wicks away sweat, making it ideal for all seasons. And the small elastane portion adds just the right amount of flexibility – whether you’re desk-bound or on the go.
The details? Exactly where they should be. A slightly offset anchor-button closure and hidden drawstring add a sporty note without disrupting the formal feel. The elastic waistband expands discreetly up to 6 cm – perfect for days when pasta cravings win.
A stealth phone pocket, twin-buttoned back pockets for the essentials, and tonal drawcord tips for a quiet luxury polish. Soft front pleats keep the fit crisp and the feel easy. Available in short, standard and long lengths, the relaxed chino assures a tailored fit. And for a more relaxed look, just roll them up.
But why exactly is the relaxed chino your go-to for every season?
5 Reasons Why You Can Wear Relaxed Chinos All Year Round
1. Airy in summer, cosy in winter.
A wide-leg cut means airflow when it’s hot, and space to layer thermals when it’s cold – without awkward bulks, or visible lines. The premium stretch-cotton blend balances temperature and moisture, whatever the forecast. Style tip: pair the relaxed chino with a tucked-in, ultra-light tee and espadrilles in summer, or throw on a roll neck and coat combined with boots in winter. One trouser, all seasons.
2. Adapts to any style.
Whether with a sweatshirt and sneakers, or an Oxford shirt and Chelsea boots – the relaxed chino is a true style shapeshifter. In black it radiates elegance and is perfect for dandy styles, in olive it adds laid-back cool, in ivory it whispers quiet luxury, and in navy it’s simply timeless, every time. No matter the colour, how you style it defines the vibe. One pair, endless possibilities.
3. Comfort knows no season.
Remember the skinny jeans era? Where everything pinched, squeezed, and nothing quite sat right? We don’t miss it either – and frankly, we hope they stay buried in the early 2000s. Today’s trend is all about comfort that looks good, no matter the season. Thanks to the wide-leg cut, the relaxed chino gives you all-day freedom – whether you’re in meetings, out walking, or just sprawling on the sofa. Total ease, with zero compromise on style.
4. Extra space for extra pasta.
Let’s face it: bodies change, waistlines shift. That’s life. Good thing your chinos are playing along. With a waistband that stretches up to 6 cm, you’re covered whether you’re cutting carbs or inhaling carbonara. And after a hearty dinner? No need to undo a button. This chino has your back (and your front). You get the comfort of sweatpants, with the elegance of chinos. What more could a man ask for?
5. Smart, but not too serious.
The relaxed chino hits that sweet spot between casual and refined. It adjusts to your style, your day, your plans. Business meetings? Sorted. Family events? Easy. First dates, weekend strolls, or city breaks? All covered. Dress it up or play it down – this is your everyday hero. Come rain or shine, Monday or Sunday, winter or summer.
