Back to Basics (Part III)


or "How to un-prep the Chino"
I hadn’t worn chinos in a long long time. I don’t like the loose fit. However with divine interference, I found this Bennett chino on sale for $30 in J.Crew and took it to the fitting room. The fit is skinnier than usual chinos and the fabric is light and summery, the price is good… OK then, I buy it! And just like that, I had another classic piece on my hands. To make it modern, I fastened a gold and colorful collar necklace close under the shirt collar and tucked in the shirt. The best shoes would have been nude pumps. Since I still haven’t found the perfect pair, I went with my trusty wedges and folded up the pants’ legs a couple of times.
