{"id":1988,"count":11,"description":"Stretch in trousers gets a bad reputation it doesn't entirely deserve. The problem isn't the stretch itself. The problem is what most brands do with it, cutting chinos like joggers, adding too much give until the fabric loses all structure and the whole thing reads as a compromise. Done properly though, a small percentage of elastane in a well constructed chino is one of the smarter moves in casual dressing. The fit stays sharper through a longer day. You can actually sit comfortably without the waistband becoming an event. The fabric moves with you rather than against you. We've been looking specifically at options where the stretch is present but invisible, where the trousers still hold a clean line at the thigh and taper correctly at the ankle. Colour selection matters too and we've avoided anything that drifts into officewear beige. These are chinos that earn the stretch rather than hiding behind it.","link":"https:\/\/joewears.com\/joespicks\/product-category\/mens-pants\/mens-chinos\/chinos-worth-building-an-outfit-around\/chinos-stretch-edge\/","name":"Chinos With a Stretch Edge That Works","slug":"chinos-stretch-edge","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":4626,"meta":[],"menu_order":0,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chinos With a Stretch Edge That Works Archives - Joe Wears<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/joewears.com\/joespicks\/product-category\/mens-pants\/mens-chinos\/chinos-worth-building-an-outfit-around\/chinos-stretch-edge\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chinos With a Stretch Edge That Works Archives - Joe Wears\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Stretch in trousers gets a bad reputation it doesn&#8217;t entirely deserve.
