- Pant bottoms should hit your shoes and “break” once. This means that they should crease slightly (due to their manly length) once before terminating on top of your lovely shoe.
- You should never be able to see your socks peeking out of your pant leg when standing. If you can, your pants are too short and you’ve got those “flood waters” you were teased about in grade school.
- Your pants should look good on you. Look in a mirror . Try to find a 3-way mirror and check yourself from a few angles.
- When buying pants, check for comfort. Sit in them. Walk in them. Still feel good? Good.
- If they are too long, take them to a tailor.
- Make sure pants coordinate with the clothes already hanging in your closet. Your pants should work with your belts , shoes , and shirts .
- How do you want to keep your pants up? You can have suspenders or you can have a belt. You cannot have both.
- Your shoes and belt should complement your pants. Black goes with everything except navy (denim isn’t navy) and brown . Brown goes with brown , khaki , and navy .
- Your socks should be in the color scheme of your pants, not your shoes.
- Cuffs are a mature and polished look. Cuff length should never exceed an inch and a half.
- Straight legs always look good and flatter the most heights and builds. Skinny guys can get away with tapered legs . Flared pants only work on jeans–and only on tall guys. Baggy pants are rarely a good idea unless you have your own rap label.
- Are you happy in them? That counts. Is your girlfriend or boyfriend happy when you wear them? That counts too.
Most men’s pants are sized with two numbers: waist and inseam measurement, in that order.

- Measure your waist by wrapping a tape measure around your torso wherever you want your pants to fall. Keep a finger or two between the tape measure and you, so that you have a bit of breathing room and space to tuck your shirt in.
- If you’re going the classic and respectable route, measure at your proper waist, where your body creases when you lean to the side. Tip: find your belly button. That’s your waist level.
- Younger and trendier men often wear their pants lower, along their hips. This is a riskier way to go, as you may show off parts of yourself intended for private use, but if it’s really where you want your pants to fall, use that measurement.
- A smart man will never leave his gut hanging out over his pants. Don’t give in to pride and insist that you wear the same size jean you wore in college–let go of your delusions and buy pants that fit.
- Measure your inseam by taking a tape measure up your leg (or letting someone else do it) and running it to where you want the crotch of your pants to lie. That height is your inseam. Make sure to measure along your leg and directly perpendicular to the floor on up.
- If you’re squeamish or wimpy about being measured, take the pair of pants that fit you best and measure the inseam (and waist) there. It’s just the seam that runs on the inside of the leg.
- Better to purchase pants that are a little too long, rather than a little too short. A tailor can shorten anything, but said tailor can make very few things longer.
- You should end up with dimensions, in inches, that look something like 30×32. That is your pant size.
- To get fancier, if you want to calculate the rise of your pants, it’s the distance from the crotch to the waist. It will dictate how high your pants sit. Many pants will come in low- , medium- and high-rise options. If your pants are above your waist, that’s high rise, at your waist is medium and below your waist is low rise.
The rare exception of casual pant will be sized S -M -L -XL . Usually this type of sizing is only used for casual pants like sweatpants or hiking pants . If you know your waist and inseam measurement, you should be able to tell which size S-M-L-XL to pick.

Many golfers use them and they look really good, they have style but they don´t lose their informality.
Here there are some more looks

In Tie & Black Shirt we are going to focus on dress pants (also called suit pants) and they are pants intended as formal wear. What is the difference between these pants and others? The answer is that dress pants are designed to be worn with a suit, this means that it has to be of the same color, fabric and the patterns (if there are) must be the same.
Here we can see a Calvin Klein model…
Here we can see a straight non-creased black pant model by Calvin Klein, the simplest model we can have. These are usually made of wool or polyester, although synthetic pants are being used also.
In future posts I´ll see into other types of pants, but these had to be the first ones as they are the most used ones!
