Good/Better/Best
Pleated Chinos
Put simply, a pair of pleated chinos just looks fresh in 2025. There's an air of old school prep mixed with a modern, boxy silhouette that's popping right now. With a sea of flat-front chinos still walking around out there, these fuller-cut, pleated styles give you a leg up while providing plenty of leg room. If you haven't tried out a wide-leg style yet, pull on a pair and revel in the comfort, and notice how the extra room allows your phone to rest more comfortably in your pocket. As for who makes the best pair for your money, we tested out a few popular brands and came away with our top three to consider.
