With the four-day bank holiday approaching, you may want to think about what to wear for your Jubilee celebrations, and undoubtedly your key piece is men’s chinos.

Whether you’re hosting a Jubilee party or heading down to see the Royal boat floatilla, chinos are the ideal choice for smart-casual style.

Give a subtle nod to the theme by dressing in a mix of the Great British colours of red, white and blue. River Island has a choice of both red and blue chinos among their wide chinos selection – both bright and more muted tones. Style a pair of their navy chinos with a red and white striped tee and navy boat shoes for a smart-casual look.

In keeping with the British theme, you may also want to get your hands on one of the unique printed t-shirts available now at River Island both online and in-stores. From LDN City print vests featuring the iconic red telephone boxes to a bold Union Jack motif, you can pay homage to Great Britain and our capital city with a statement tee. From as little as £12, these are a low cost way to get into the Jubilee spirit, whilst also coming in handy for the impending London 2012 Olympics.

Wear your printed tee with some red chinos and plimsolls for a laidback look that’s perfect for a relaxing long weekend.

Whatever you have planned, join in with the celebratory British spirit with a colourful smart-casual look.
