Finding three different ways to wear a pair of pastel coloured chinos

I was recently sent a pair of chinos by a PR looking after GANT. She had specifically asked if I could come up with three different ways of styling a daring shade of chinos, just in time for spring. The colour is cyan which is somewhere in between green and blue, aqua-ish. I am always excited to be set a challenge, particularly if it means pushing me to try something I have not done before.

Shown in the images above, are the three looks I came up with. You can very easily wear them with a button-down shirt, tie or even something even more casual like a plain white t-shirt. The one with the white t-shirt (top photo, and centre photo) is my favourite look of the three I tried. It just looks very simple and understated, with a touch of elegance.

Lookin cool – I like the middle pick with the t-shirt. I still don’t think these pics would be enough to get the BF to wear these pants.

Thank you! The t-shirt one is my personal favourite as well – it just looks more relaxed. Hopefully your boyfriend can be persuaded to experiment a little! :)
