With menswear-inspired pieces hot right now, it’s no surprise that chinos are topping the trend list. The best way to do menswear is to make it slightly feminine by wearing trousers that are cropped and rolled at the bottoms. The fuller leg looks best when tapered, and rolling the pants can help you achieve that look. Pair slouchy, cropped chinos with oxfords and a t-shirt for a casual look. Or, dress them up with platform heels and a pretty blouse. Mixing masculine with feminine pieces can pull a whole outfit together, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different items from your closet.
Here are a few of our favorite rolled chinos, and most are under $150!
