Style 5 Days 5 Ways

A closet is not complete without a pair of khaki-hued chinos, but a closet feels more complete with a colorful pair, too. Colored chinos adds visual interest in a more unexpected way than a bright shirt or a textured jacket. Dressed up or dressed down, a pair of colored chinos works year round with all of your favorite toppers.
