Super comfy and breathable

Great fit, as someone who needs slightly larger legs than waist this is perfect. I like the slightly elasticated waistband and belt loops. These have become a staple, including travelling on flights and trains.

Designed in the Netherlands, the everyday trouser, refined every generation.

The Essence Chino is the most-worn trouser ETQ makes: a clean, everyday chino cut from a structured Cotton Twill, natural, breathable and hard-wearing, with a drape that holds up to daily life and takes a press when you want one. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.

Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and the Essence Chino is one of our most repeat-purchased trousers, part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.

The range, by how you'll actually wear it

Essence Chino. The core chino in Cotton Twill, our best-stocked everyday trouser, in muted tonal shades.

Straight and slim cuts. Pick the leg that suits you; both share the same cloth and finish.

How to wear them

A chino is the easiest smart-casual trouser to own. Wear it with a heavyweight tee and sneakers for everyday, or a tailored polo and suede loafers for the office. The tonal shades are easy to build around; layer a knit or overshirt as it cools. For a cleaner, more tailored trouser see the Essence trouser.

Fabric and fit

We choose fabrics to last. The Essence Chino is a structured Cotton Twill, breathable and durable, with a clean line. Across the wider range we favour natural cotton, usually with a little elastane for comfort and movement, and reserve engineered performance fabrics for the pieces that benefit from them. Offered in straight and slim; most customers find them true to size.

Care

Machine wash cool with like colours, reshape and hang or tumble on low, and use a warm iron if you want a sharper line. Exact care is on every product page.

Frequently asked about ETQ chinos

What fabric are the chinos?

A structured Cotton Twill: natural, breathable and hard-wearing, with a clean drape that takes a press.

Straight or slim?

Straight for a classic, easy leg; slim for a closer cut. Most customers find both true to size; check the fit note on each product page.

What's the difference between the chino and the Essence trouser?

The chino is the relaxed, cotton-rich everyday trouser; the Essence trouser is cleaner and more tailored in our Traveller Weave. Different cloths for different days.

How do I wash and care for them?

Machine wash cool with like colours, reshape and hang or tumble low, and warm-iron if you want a crisper line. Exact care is on the product page.
