[marvin-martian]

im looking at the banana republic site, and they have chinos. since i had never heard of them, i was curious and looked at them. they look like regular pants to me.

heres a link to a dress chino (keep in mind there are also casual and vintage): http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=10828&pid=354413&scid=354413002


here is a regular dress pant: http://www.bananarepublic.com/browse/product.do?cid=5381&pid=376901


can someone tell me the differance between them? is it just a differant style?

is it just a differant style?

I like to wear chinos, I'm pretty sure it's because they're a bit dressier and feel a bit different. I'm not sure if I even wear chinos, I wear alot of the Dockers dress shorts that don't have any pockets..they're the most comfortable shorts ever and just the right length..as far as dress pants though I'm not sure..
