Pick your trousers

The best trousers will be able to retain their sleek profile whether the wearer is moving or stationary; seated or standing. Consider the following when shopping for one

Trouser fit

The perfect pair of trousers should follow the natural shape of a man’s body: widest at the waist, tapering all the way to the ankles and with no excess fabric hanging loose or billowing. At the same time, trousers need to be loose enough to allow for movement, and should never wrinkle or bunch around the thighs — this is a sign that the trousers are too tight.

Dress trousers should never narrow and then widen lower down on the body. Modern dressers should remember that the “fall” of dress trousers — the distance from the waist to the crotch — is longer than that of casual jeans, meaning that the pants should be worn higher on the body. Contemporary jeans are often fitted to be worn at the hips, while dress pants should rest comfortably above the hips.

Pleated and plain-front trousers

Pleats are small folds in the fabric of a garment that have been permanently fixed in place. In trousers, they appear as small vertical lines running from the waistband to around the same height as the crotch of the garment.

These little folds of fabric, add flexibility to the front of the trousers. They can expand slightly when the wearer sits or stretches, keeping the same smooth-draped appearance without any visible tightening and wrinkling. A single fold on each side of the trousers is the most common style, but double pleats on each side will add more flexibility, making it ideal for men with wider legs.

Tall, slim men particularly benefit from plain-front trousers, as any extra cloth around the hips can make their trousers appear too loose. For most men, however, pleats will usually be both the best-looking option and the most comfortable.

Trouser cuffs

Most dress pants have a small band around each ankle called “cuffs.”Trouser cuffs are not a necessary embellishment, but, like trouser pleats, they are often the best-looking option for most men.

Trouser cuffs help add a bit of extra weight to the garment, which helps pull them straight at the bottom and keeps them from billowing about too much. A well-fitted cuff should rest against the back of a man’s shoe and drape just on top of the front of the shoe; a slightly-pointed “beak” where the pressed fold of the trouser rests on the shoe is a sign of a good fit.

Cuffs also help to shorten the visual impression of a man’s leg, helping the chest and face to stand out more. Of course, shorter men may want to avoid cuffs for just that reason, and some men find the unbroken line of uncuffed trousers more appealing. In the interests of balance, pleated pants almost always feature cuffs and plain-front trousers are frequently cuffless.

 Pockets

Traditionally, the front pocket opening on a pair of dress trousers is a straight up-and-down slit, usually with no or very minimal hemming. This is to reduce its visual impact, hiding the fact that there is a pocket there at all as much as possible. Slanted pockets, particularly with a distinctive hem, are more casual but still appropriate on most trousers.
