Slim or Carrot fit Chinos

[shopkid1014]

Hi All,

Have a serious issue finding good quality chinos that fit well. I am a 29/30 waist. 5'10 155 lbs, slim with skinny legs. I don't have a price issue as long as the fit works - any advice on Masons, Briglia, Berwich or other good quality chinos or pants would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you clarify what you mean when you write that the chinos you've tried on don't "fit well"? Hard to recommend anything when we don't understand what the problem is. Is that you want something more slim than what you've tried on? Or is it something else?

I have a similar build (maybe even slimmer at 5'10" 145 lb) and I don't really want to call attention to my skinny legs. So why wear trousers that accentuate this? Just a thought. I know that "slim" has been the trend for the past decade or more, but I'd suggest that you at least consider whether you want to call attention to your skinny legs or whether you want your whole silhouette to look balanced.

Let me just add - something to avoid, IMO, are pants that actually hug your skin to the point they bunch up - it looks terrible. Pants should break on your shoe, not 3 inches up your ankle.
