Chinos

Chinos Biography.

   Chinos” or “Khakis”, like many popular items of clothing, have their origins in the military.

During the 1840s, British soldiers fighting in the Punjab realised their white and scarlet uniforms made them easy targets, and they decided to dye them to blend in with the local terrain. The colour became known as khaki, from the Urdu word for “dust”. As armies around the world came to realise the strategic advantage of neutral and camouflage clothing, khaki cotton uniforms became standard issue.
Throughout the twentieth century khaki became an all too familiar sight due to the First and Second World Wars. They came to be associated with bravery and patriotism, and between the wars were worn by explorers, hunters and those wealthy enough to visit far-flung countries on safari. During and following the Second World War there was a strong connection with Hollywood, with many stars signing up for military service. The Hollywood Canteen, a glamorous nightclub for GIs, was established and manned by many film and TV stars of the day. Female stars such as Katherine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich wore khaki outfits, and fashion designers created collections entirely in khaki.
