Are my trousers and chino’s the same? /u/Nearby_Climate285 /r/malefashionadvice

Hey everybody,

Today I bought my first pair of chinos. I grew up wearing jeans and never even considered having another type of pant. Until recently i got a cotton cargopant. I like it. It is comfortable and soft on the skin. It keeps me warm enough in winter but is much nicer in the summer than my jeans. I decided to slowly move away from jeans and get more alternatives, maybe even replace jeans fully. That brings me to my chinos. I bought my first set today and they are nice. When I got home i checked my fancy trousers (I don’t have an actual dresspant because I never really need to go somewhere that fancy) and found out they are exactly the same materials. They are both made from 98% cotton and 2% elastane. Both of them have the four pocket flatfront design. They are from the same brand, but the ones i got today were called chino and the ones I already had were just sold as trousers. So what exactly is the difference?
