Be elegant like an English gentleman: how to choose men's trousers
Modern fashion trends and constant changes in brand sizes have led to the fact that now many young guys and even older men do not know how to choose men's trousers. And in vain, because classic trousers should be present in the wardrobe of any man, regardless of his occupation and style of clothing.
Are you attending a big event with a formal dress code and are you looking for the perfect pair of trousers? So how should men's trousers fit and how to choose the right trouser size?
The most important thing to remember is that it is customary to choose classic trousers for height. During the fitting, walk around a bit to make sure that the item is the right length for you. Please note that while walking, your socks should not be visible. But also do not overdo it - trousers should not be gathered downwards with an accordion. How to determine the length of men's trousers? Properly selected men's trousers should be slightly on the boot in front, and in the back reach the heels of the shoes.
Pockets are also an important part of men's trousers. In no case should they be narrower than the average male palm. The upper part of the pocket should be adjacent to the belt, and the lower part should be well fixed with the help of side stitching. Well-tailored trousers have pockets that will never bulge.
How to choose men's trousers in width?
Consider your body type when shopping for dress pants. It happens when expensive and high-quality clothes do not look very attractive due to voluminous hips or belly. In such cases, you need to purchase trousers with a low rise and wide, loose legs. If you have a thin physique and insufficiently voluminous buttocks, then it is best to choose pants that fit exactly. Also, "French pockets" located in the side seam, without trim, can help you.
How to choose pants by size for a man?
Believe me, a well-chosen trouser size will add more solidity and presentability to your image. Choosing the size of men's trousers is almost no different from choosing the right jeans.
In order to determine your size, you will also need to measure your waist circumference, hip circumference and leg length. If you have any problems with measuring the length of your legs directly on yourself, then simply measure your favorite trousers or pants with a measuring tape or tape measure.
Lay the piece of clothing out on a flat surface, and then measure the length of the legs along the inside seam from the join to the bottom edge.
Recall that the waist must be measured at the place where you wear the belt, tightly applying a centimeter tape to the body.
How to find out the size of men's trousers for other size grids?
Some difficulties may arise with foreign brands. For example, on American products you can often find not only the size of trousers, but also several other parameters: waist (letter W) and length (indicated by the letter L). Please note that they are indicated in inches, and in order to convert to the usual measure of length, you need to multiply the number indicated on the tag by 2.54.
