Chinos & Trousers

Summing Up Our Chinos and Trousers

Our chinos and trousers collection covers the everyday trousers that sit between jeans and tailoring: clean cotton twill chinos, relaxed and wide-leg cuts, and pleated, soft-tailored trousers that work with a blazer as easily as a sweatshirt. They are the backbone of a good wardrobe, chosen for cloth, cut and the way they wear in over time.

How Do Our Chinos and Trousers Stack Up

Relaxed, easy trousers: Folk's Assembly Pant, in its classic and drawcord versions, is a modern menswear favourite for its tapered, comfortable shape, joined by FrizmWORKS' One Tuck and balloon pants.
Pleated and soft-tailored trousers: Universal Works' Duke and Double Pleat pants, Beams Plus' 2 Pleats Twill Pant, Dispatches' Foreman Double Pleat and NN.07's Aden chino bring a sharper line. Many pair with our suit jackets and blazers for relaxed soft suiting.
Workwear-inspired chinos: Stan Ray's A Pant and Carhartt WIP's Sid Pant take the simple, hard-wearing cotton twill trouser back to its utilitarian roots.

The Urban Industry Take on Chinos and Trousers

A good pair of trousers is the quickest way to smarten up without dressing up. A relaxed Folk Assembly or Universal Works pleated trouser looks right with a tee and trainers at the weekend and with a knit and loafers in the evening. Fits vary widely across this collection, from slim to wide and from flat-front to double pleated, so check the fit notes on each product page; most fit true to your usual waist size, and pleated styles are designed to sit higher on the waist.

Frequently asked questions about Chinos & Trousers

What is the difference between chinos and trousers?

Chinos are a type of trouser made from lightweight cotton twill, originally military issue, with a clean, flat-front or lightly pleated shape. Trousers is the broader term and includes pleated, wide-leg and soft-tailored styles in cloths such as wool, cord and moleskin. Our collection covers both.

How should pleated trousers fit?

Pleated trousers are designed to sit higher on the waist, with extra room through the thigh that tapers to the ankle. Choose your usual waist size and let the pleats give the relaxed shape. They look best with a tee or knit tucked in, or with a short jacket.

Can I wear chinos with a blazer?

Yes. A well-cut chino or soft-tailored trouser in a contrasting colour looks sharp with an unstructured blazer, and many Universal Works trousers can be matched with a jacket in the same cloth for a relaxed suit.

What shoes go with chinos?

Chinos work with almost any shoe: clean trainers for a casual look, a Paraboot or Kleman derby for something smarter, or boat shoes and loafers in summer. Relaxed and wide-leg trousers pair best with chunkier shoes.
