Chinos used to only come out in summer, but the trusty cotton trouser is now a four-season menswear staple thanks to heavier-weight fabrics in darker colours like navy and olive. Dockers cuts a smart version called the Alpha Khaki that has a jean-inspired slim fit and a mix of clean, one-year and five-year finishes that mimic different degrees of wear. $75 to $95, Roots, 100 Bloor West, 416-323-3289, and others, dockers.com.
