And if any ladies read this, athletic fit isn’t a men’s only fit. These jeans are cut for your body types, too. The same rules apply. If you have larger or more muscular thighs, then women’s athletic fit jeans will suit your figure. Material: "Chinos are typically made with a lightweight cotton blend to create a comfortable, more lightweight wear for men," says Simone Segall, the Senior Design Director at Nordstrom who affirms that the days of 100% cotton chinos are far behind us. "We are seeing more chinos being made with a blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex to create a flexible material that maintains its shape and does not compromise comfort," Segall explains. She also recommends cotton twill for year-round versatility in chinos, while leaning toward a more lightweight twill for your spring and summer wardrobe. The expansion of the fitness industry, has caused a demand for athletic fit dress shirts. The athletic type body requires a more unique fit than the churned out slim fit shirts designed for the "standard" body shape. Slim Athletic Build For athletic men, straight fit jeans are not a great option, because to make them fit around their thighs, they would need to buy a larger size. Going up a size enlarges the jeans as a whole. The size of the waist also enlarges (meaning it would have to be scrunched up by a belt) and the legs would have more room from hip to ankle, making them look baggier and less sharp.

Fit: Mathilde Mader, the Chief Creative Officer of Everlane believes that a good pair of chinos should fit snugly around the waist and be wearable without a belt. "I’d recommend choosing a style that gives you an inch or so of extra fabric in the thighs but doesn’t pull at the knees," he adds. CEO of Tapered Menswear Scott Liebenberg also offers some insight on the right fit for a pair of chinos, which is "finely fitted at the waist, down the quads with a tapered ankle, and engineered to mold to the shape of your leg over time."

These chinos are perfect for the smart wear obsessed. Pair these with a button up shirt with a minimal print and a sleek pair of All Birds sneakers.

The Best Athletic Fit Jeans Overall

And for athletic men looking for the best pair of pants for everyday wear, the Weekday Warriors are pretty much a wardrobe essential.

Light as a feather, flexible at 360 degrees, and supremely soft, Mugsy Jeans are an easy go-to for guys who need athletic cut jeans. Grands provides a classic light wash color for summer, and guess what? You won’t have to worry about sweating through your pants or having them fit too tight on your body. The main difference between athletic fit and slim fit shirts is that athletic fit shirts are cut closer to the body. The reason being is that athletic fit shirts are specifically designed for athletic shaped bodies while slim fit is for someone looking for a more relaxed fit. While khakis share similarities with chinos, the term is sometimes used more narrowly to refer specifically to beige or tan-colored casual pants, whereas chinos specifically refer to a pants style made in certain fabric and design.

For the guys who don’t skip leg day, Barbell are the pants for you. These chino pants are cut specifically for athletic figures, meaning they’ll form around your sculpted quads, calves, and hiney. Likewise, athletic fit jeans won’t look good on a person with average body shape because the thighs are too baggy. They either fit too tight around the thigh, too loose around the waist, or they pool around your ankles. Haggar is one of those brands, like Calvin Klein or Van Heusen, that I tend to associate with mid-tier businessmen like Michael Scott, Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin Scranton.

Our fitted chinos came down to 3 major components for creating the best athletic fit chinos on the market:

These chinos are so movement-friendly yet rugged at the same time that you'd second-guess whether they're actually chinos after all. No wonder men's fashion influencer Parker York Smith calls these the "sustainable, insanely comfortable, alternative to regular pants." They're made from a preshrunk 8-oz cotton fabric blend enhanced with spandex for mobility, meaning these chino pants will feel as soft as they are stretchy. While they do require some time to break in, once you start feeling comfortable in them, you'll notice how durable and flexible they are. The result is a classic fit that works great for guys with athletic legs, landing right in that sweet spot between way-too-tight skinny jeans and the loose fit, way-too-baggy pants styles you see on old guys at country clubs.
