Men's Trousers Fitting Guide
 |
Men's trousers fitting guide gives you useful advice for the correct fit of your trousers.
Waistband:
The waistband should make no gapes on your waistline and you should be able to put a finger between your body and the waistband.
There should be no pulling on the closure hook or button.
Try also to sit down and see if you feel comfortable.
Bottom:
Your trousers should not bag underneath your bottom or be pulled up too tight.
If you must compromise, you should choose the looser fit for your evening outfit: the trousers will fall more smooth and straight and give you a decent appearance.
Pockets:
Most of the different pocket styles should lie flat and be closed if you are standing.
The lining should be invisible and the shape of the pocket should run in a smooth, straight line.
Side Seam:
The side seam is very important on a trousers look.
The side seam should run in a straight smooth line from the waistband to the hem.
There should be no puckering or pulling along the side seam.
Inside Seam:
The inside seam should also run in a straight, smooth line without any puckering or pulling.
The area of the crossing seam between your legs should especially feel comfortable without any pulling or pushing when you stand or sit.
Crotch Seam:
The best tip for the fit of the crotch seam is just to make sure it feels comfortable when sitting and standing.
If the crotch seam hangs too low, it will shorten the length of your legs and look unfavourable.
If it sits too high, it can be very uncomfortable and look even coarse.
If you try on the pants you should sit, stand, dance and move to see if they feel comfortable and you should pay special attention to the area of the crotch seam.
Legs:
The style is most dependant upon the shape of the legs of your trouser.
The most important for the shape is the knee width and the hem width.
Creases:
If you are wearing trousers with a front crease, the crease should hang right down the middle of your leg.
If the crease line falls outside of the middle of your leg it looks unfavourable.
Also take care that the intensity of the creases stays consistent all over the length of your trouser.
Otherwise, it will give the trouser a sloppy appearance.
Hem:
The width of the hem is very important for the style of the trouser.
For your evening wear we suggest choosing a trouser with a hem width which is close to the knee width or tighter.
The correct length of your trouser is also a very determining factor for a good appearance.
Make sure that you always wear the shoes you will most often wear with your trouser you try on; the height and the width of the shoe style are especially important.
A trouser which is a little bit too long is better than a too short one.
Walk around and also check the length from the back in a mirror while standing straight.
The hem should touch your instep in front and cover half of your heel on the back.
If you wear trousers with a turned up hem you should consider that your legs appear shorter than without a turned up hem.
