Men's Chino Cargo Pants for Hiking and Outdoor Recreation

What are Chinos?

The term "chino" is derived from the Spanish word, which refers to the sturdy cotton fabric used to make these pants. Chinos, also known as "khakis," originated as part of military uniforms in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The name "khakis" came about because the standard color for these pants in the UK was a tan shade, known as "khaki."

Chinos as a Military Uniform

Chinos, when used as a military uniform, were simple slacks with a straight waistline, no pleats, and a tapered leg. The fabric was durable yet lightweight, making it suitable for wear in warm conditions while providing adequate coverage. The khaki color became popular in the UK in the mid-19th century, and American soldiers later adopted khakis as part of their standard military attire.

The American style of military pants was similar to the British design, featuring a very straightforward construction with no pleats, a zip and button front, and straight legs.

The Transition to Everyday Wear

As casual clothing trends became more prevalent, the popularity of khakis as everyday pants declined. Jeans have been the standard wear for attending school since the mid-1960s, although chinos are still commonly worn for informal events, and most private school students continue to wear them.

The Design Evolution of Chinos

By the early 20th century, the American public began to wear chinos, particularly for semi-formal gatherings. Young men might wear them to school or college, and by the 1940s, chinos had become associated with the preppy look. The 1950s can be considered the heyday of chino popularity, as most schoolboys and college men wore these pants.
