Rebecca HastingsSlim-fit chinos
A pair of contemporary slim-fit chinos is a wardrobe essential for men and perfect for those who want a streamlined silhouette, with a narrower leg shape from hip to hem. These slim-fit ultimate chinos are designed to work with everything that life throws at you, featuring water-resistant Stormwear technology and a comfortable waistband.
Slim-fitting men's chinos have a smarter, more tailored feel, so are ideal for wearing when you need to dial up the dress code. Team with a blazer for a dapper look that's ideal for work or dressier weekend events.
Regular-fit chinos
Easy to dress up or down, a pair of classic, regular-fit chinos is an everyday men's wardrobe essential. With a straight, roomy cut from hip to ankle, they skim your shape without hugging too closely or being too baggy.
Cut from a lightweight fabric, these regular-fit Heritage chinos have moisture-wicking Coolmax technology to help you stay cool in warm weather, as well as classic styling details both inside and out.
Skinny-fit chinos
Our men's skinny chinos are cut to the snuggest fit, hugging you from hip to ankle in a fashionable, form-fitting style. They're perfect for anyone looking for a close fit that shows off their physique.
Made from cotton with 2% elastane for added stretch, our skinny-fit stretch chinos have an incredibly comfortable fit that moves as you do. They also feature Buttonsafe technology, with heat-fused buttons that won't fall off. M&S stretch chinos come in a variety of fits and colours, and are great value at just £25 a pair.
Tapered chinos
Chinos with a tapered fit are the perfect halfway house between a slim and loose-fit chino, with a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh that tapers into the ankle for a contemporary silhouette.
Tapered-fit chinos are ideal for men with a more athletic build, as they have more room for bigger thighs, but fit snugly elsewhere. Choose a pair with added stretch for greater flexibility and comfort.
Loose-fit chinos
Combining style and comfort, men's loose-fit chinos are perfect for dressed-down days and for those who prefer an easy, relaxed look. Designed with extra room in the hip, thigh and knee area for a looser silhouette, they'll look great teamed with your favourite T-shirt and trainers at the weekend.
