I find Next sizes come up big. I got the navy chino shorts the other day and bought a size 6 (I am usually an 8) and I've seen the chinos in store and they deffo look generous. I wear mine rolled up once or twice with sandals in warm weather or Converse in cooler temperatures. I'll also be wearing them with my leopard skater shoes. On my top half, it'll be a stripey top and jersey blazer, or a lovely bomber jacket I've got from Zara, or just a simple vest top come warmer weather.

I like to wear mine in spring with a breton and brogues.

In summer last year I rolled them up slightly and wore with flip flops, a vest and a panama.

I saw someone today on the street wearing chinos with sparkly skate shoes, a pale gold ultralight feather jacket and sunglasses. Fresh, simple and crisp, perfection.

I've pulled mine out of the wardrobe in the hope that today will be a scorcher like yesterday (when the mist lifts).

I'm going to wear them with leopard print Ash sneakers!

I have quite a few pairs of H&M skinny chinos in different colours (they were reduced to a fiver Grin). I just wear them as I would my jeans, really.

I tried these chinos on yesterday, they are vey nice, unfortunately tight round the knees for me, They are big though, I'm normally a 14 and a 12 fitted comfortably, apart from knee area, my knees are big though.

Boden have some very well cut chinos. The fabric is the perfect weight for spring and autumn - not to thin for those cooler days. I have them in "marguerite blue" and ordered the long rather than regular (I prefer ankle skimming rather than mid-calf finish). Sizing wise, I would say true to size.

Mmmm...tempted by the mint green Boden ones. Sadly the pale pink Next ones were no good for me. The 6 was a tad small and the 8 was far too big so back they went! Keeping the navy chino shorts though as they are perfect.

They were huge !
Very nice though so will get the smaller size Grin

I didn't like the boden ones, too baggy round the thighs and too high waisted. I've got a stone pair for white stuff which I wore to death last year, and a navy pair from next.

I wear mine with sandals, converse pumps, birkenstocks. Any top really. They're really versatile.

My thighs are clearly baggy Grin
