Gap Girlfriend Chinos Worn 3 Ways

I’ve been wearing these GAP Girlfriend Chinos for a few months now and thought that it was about time that I showed you how versatile they were and why they’re not your grandma’s chinos! To be honest, the word “chino” is a hard one for me. It makes me think of two things…private school uniform pants and/or all of the horrendous khaki pants that I made my mom throw out a few years ago. Neither option is appealing for obvious reasons, so I was super hesitant to give these a try. They always sat in the front of the store and the more and more I walked past them, the more I was drawn to them. They come in really cool colors (you won’t catch me in the khaki), have a worn, washed look and are a great relaxed “girlfriend” (aka not as baggy as boyfriend) fit. I saw myself running around with Landry in them and even playing comfortably at the park in them. I knew that there were ways to dress them up a bit and, most of all, I knew that the casual options were endless. Remember last week’s Capsule Wardrobe Post?? Yep, these are on there because I wear them so much! Consider the below a few other outfits to make out of your capsule, too! I styled the chinos a few of my favorite ways for you and holy smokes they are now 40% off making them $36!!! Gap is having their Friends and Family Sale (40% off the entire site!) right now, so it’s a great time to stock up for the entire family.

I styled this look to show you that they are a year-around pant. Great with sleeveless or short sleeves in the Spring / Summer and even sandals in really warm weather. I keep my Converse slip-ons at the door and they are perfect to pair back to relaxed fit pants like these.

**Major Major MAJOR SALE ALERT**

My blush handbag…that I’m sure you’re all sick of by now since I’ve been wearing it for over a year!…just got marked down 40% off!!! It’s now under $200 and you better snag it HERE before it goes out of stock. Merry Christmas to YOU!

This is more of a Fall look and all I did was swap out the denim for a cozy cardigan and switch up my sneaks!

Olive green and blush pink is actually one of my favorite color combinations as of late…would you agree??

Okay, taking chinos out of their box for a bit and dressing them up with an off the shoulder top and heels. I love the juxtaposition of the outfit and how unexpected the washed and worn chinos are. They give the look a laid-back, cool vibe.

How the fit? They run true to size. Expect a slightly baggy fit, with slimmer lines than boyfriend jeans.

Which colors are my favorite? This green “Cucumber Peel” is my favorite, but I also love “Pacific Mist,” and “Washed Black”
