8 of the Best Lined Chinos, Dress and Cargo Men’s Pants

Wrangler Authentics Men’s Fleece-Lined Cargo Pant

A popular cargo option is the Wrangler Authentics Men’s Fleece-Lined Cargo Pant. The Authentics are great for winter because they are super comfortable, and the fleece makes them very warm. They fit well on most men without the look of extra bulk that can sometimes occur with lined designs.

Cargos are a comfortable and flattering style for any body type to wear. Also, since they are cargo, there are lots of pockets for storage. A unique design feature of this cargo is that the cargo pockets have an internal pocket within the pocket, so you can carry smaller items without them knocking around in the pocket. If you have tried Wrangler in the past and have not loved them, you may want to give them another look.

Over the last few years, the brand has stepped up and improved the quality and functionality of the designs while still keeping the garments very affordable. Men who buy the Wrangler Authentics Cargos are generally pretty happy with them and seem to recommend them quite highly.

L.L. Bean Lined Pants

A great place to find business-casual styles of lined pants is L.L Bean. They have lots of jeans, a few cargo options, chinos, and utility pants if you are working outside for extended periods.

One of their most popular styles is the Lined Double L® Chinos. They are a natural fit and are perfect for a business casual look. The Lined Double L is known for being comfortable and warm, and easy to wear. The chinos are lined with flannel (not fleece), so they are warm enough that you can wear them indoors while still being breathable and pleasant to wear indoors. Fleece tends to be warmer but not as breathable as flannel.

What is cool about this style is that when looking at them, it’s not apparent that they are lined, so you can wear them pretty much anywhere that you would wear regular chinos. L.L Bean clothes are known for being very durable and for lasting for years, and the Lined Double L® is no exception; not only are they tough, but they also wash and dry very well. This design is a popular option for someone who has circulation problems that make them always feel cold even when inside.

Eddie Bauer Men’s Fleece Lined Chinos

Eddie Bauer has a few options for lined pants, with their Fleece Lined Chinos being one of their most versatile. They are a classic fit, so they will fall just below your waist and are straight on the leg and the thigh.

These are great for the office or shorter periods outside in the cold since they aren’t too warm to wear indoors. If you are outdoors for an extended period, they probably won’t be warm enough. A notable feature about this style is that they are super durable and hold up well to wear and frequent washing.

Brooks Brothers Clark Fit Flannel Lined Chinos

Brooks Brothers have two options for lined pants: Flannel-Lined Chinos and the Clark Fit Flannel Lined Chinos. There is a  bit of a price difference between the two, with the Clark Fit being more expensive due to the higher quality of the fabric.

It is a little hard to find a slimmer fit that is flannel lined, but these Brook Brothers designs are styles that are worth trying out.  Since they are Brooks Brothers, you can be confident that they will be beautifully made from high-quality fabric. Reviews suggest that these flannel-lined pants are a great fit, comfortable, and good-looking.

Carhartt Men’s Washed Duck Dungaree Flannel Lined Work Pant

If you are looking for workhorse pants, look no further than the Carhartt Men’s Washed Duck Dungaree Flannel Lined Work Pant. This is one of your best bets for outdoor workers who need reliable, sturdy options to keep them warm in the colder weather.

They are 100% Cotton and are lined with flannel. They are a jean material, but the colors can let you pass for almost a chinos-type look but not really. They are durable and perfect for rougher weather.

Woolrich Men’s Alderglen Flannel-Lined Chino

Woolrich is an American heritage brand that is known for its outdoor wear. Their flannel-lined pants are another excellent option if you are looking for chinos but want that extra warmth that the flannel lining can give you. Woolrich’s Alderglen Flannel-Lined Chino is a moderately priced style that is a classic fit with a relaxed seat and thigh area.

Since they are lined with flannel, they probably aren’t going to keep you quite as warm as some of the fleece options. Still, they are great for shorter periods outside (walking a dog, shoveling, going to an outdoor game, commuting) and for wearing indoors, but not for extended periods outdoors.

They can be machine washed and should be pretty durable. There are some reports of this style fitting a little small, so if you are interested in this brand, make sure to check their sizing guides carefully.
