Chinos - would you wear to work?

[stormymcstormface]

How smart do you think they are?

Work in an accountancy firm

Would you think they're smart enough? Talking about sand esque colour here

TIA

Worn with smart top and shoes, yes.

Surely it depends on the dress code. Casual or business casual yes, business dress no.

Yep. All the time. Silk too tucked in. Pumps or loafers

Any links to nice ones? Mine are from H&M and good but not smart enough. I need dark colours.

Yes, especially in this humid weather. I've found them really comfortable. Got navy ones from ASOS.

Nice on other people - make me look fat!

I wouldn't if the men were wearing suit and tie (and I say that because it's easier to judge the culture), they're more on the smart casual side of things imho which is great if that's okay in your office.

Provided you teamed them with a smart shirt, jumper or jacket I don't think you'll have an problem with them looking too casual. =)

I work in banking and I’d say no to a sand colour except on Fridays. Yes to chinos in navy/black/other dark colours though. I’d wear with a smart top/shirt, ballet pumps and sometime a blazer or cashmere cardigan. Zara do great ones for work.

Yes but I'm a teacher so dress code is smart casual. I wear with ballet pumps, a smart top and cardigans. Not cutting edge but practical for sitting on the floor etc in infants!

Think it very much depends on your dress code. I'm a secondary teacher and I wouldn't be able to wear them. We have quite a strict dress code though compared to some other schools.

I think with the right top/shoes, they look great! My office is smart casual and I’ve always wanted a pair of chinos, but I’m a size 20 and every pair I’ve tried on look awful. I have just had to accept that not everyone can wear everything!
