Leather shoes do not get wet inside and out. What to do if your shoes get wet. Do not use water repellent spray

How long should a man's trousers be? The correct leg length is one pleat at the front. At the same time, the back edge of the leg touches the top edge of the heel.

Second option: the edge of the leg remains in the center of the heel of the shoe (boot).This is a classic approach specifically for classic trousers (with or without a suit).

Recommendations for tall men: the presence of one (or even two) folds or the presence of a cuff (upward bend) on the leg. This allows you to visually reduce the height or overall length of the legs, look more harmonious.

How to shorten your pants (life hack)

In the atelier, trousers are usually cut evenly. For example, you measured that you should cut 3 cm of fabric. The seamstress will cut evenly, making the pants shorter. But from the point of view of the structure of the boot or shoe, this will not be entirely true. With a uniform leg length, a fold or several will usually form in front, and there will be no folds in the back. And when walking, the front crease only visually increases.

The secret of cutting men's trousers: cut the fabric at a slight angle (10-15 degrees). The front is shorter, the back of the fabric is longer. In this case, you reduce the possibility of multiple wrinkles. A lot of folds look so-so, as if the trousers are not the right size, and you are wearing your older brother or father.

By the way: the soft and thin fabric of the legs forms more folds than the dense classic. Linen trousers, trousers with stretch in the composition (stretch fabric). Keep this information in mind when cutting your pants!

Stretch fabric - knitwear with an elastic thread in its composition. The thread is synthetic, and stretches to 15-20% of its initial state.

"European" pants length

European designers and fashion designers offer to wear trousers quite fashionably and modernly. This method is not suitable for everyone, mainly for slender young men of average height. For obese men, this style will look a little ridiculous, for tall men, too, "use" with caution.

The main meaning of the "European" length of the trousers: the lower part of the trouser leg (trouser leg) only slightly touches the shoes or low shoes. The laces (if any) are fully visible. The shoes are completely on display. If the shoes are beautiful and expensive, this will help to show them to others, to show off.

However: trousers should be narrower at the bottom! Otherwise, outwardly everything will look extremely ridiculous.

Length of men's jeans

There are no hard and fast rules for jeans. They are worn with folds (accordion) and without, tucked up and cut off. Jeans - yard-street pants with which they do not bother. Although in Russia and Russian-speaking countries, jeans are often worn to the club, and to work in the office, and with family to nature. Most of our citizens wear jeans according to the rules of trousers. And in general, this is correct, because it looks neat.

Pants with cuffs (men's)

Cuffed trousers are trousers with factory folded (tucked) edges towards the top. Also, cuffs are easy to make, having a sewing machine or giving trousers to a sewing workshop. It is not recommended to hem manually, it will not come out neatly. Cuffs are easiest to make on trousers that need to be shortened (i.e. the legs are too long). Usually the trouser leg is cut or folded and hemmed inward ("inner cuffs"). By making the outer cuffs, you will give the trousers (and yourself) a new and stylish look.

Forget that cuffs are outdated or out of fashion. So say people who are far from the concept of style and neatness in clothes. Cuffs were, are and will always be relevant. Both jeans and dress pants with or without a suit.

The cuffs slightly weight the fabric at the bottom, as a result - the leg does not create unnecessary folds and lies smoothly on the shoes.

The cuffs "balance" the overall length of the pants. In a tall person, they visually reduce long legs, in a person of average height, they center the knees. In short - cuffs as a finishing touch. You can do it without them, but it's better with them.

Men's pants sizes

How to measure trousers correctly? Just remember the two letters and their meanings: W And L

W- Waist
L- Leg length along the seam (inside, from the groin side)

Example: W34 L32

There is also a measurement for the girth of the hips, but this is not a private parameter. You will constantly see the letters W and L on the label, while the hip circumference is taken into account already with a careful and perfect fit to the figure, real professionals.

• All data in the table are for a man of average build (not overweight and not very thin)
• US sizes may be listed as 2.4, 6, 8, etc.
• European sizes may indicate the waist (W) and leg length (L) in inches, then multiply the value by 2.54 (1 inch = 2.54 cm) or use our table:

It doesn't matter if the trouser leg is longer than your leg length. Pants can be easily cut in the workshop or bent with cuffs. In stores, labels immediately indicate height, for example, 182 or 188. For example, 52/172. Therefore, in terms of length, focus on the indicated height, and not the length of the leg. Anyway, you can understand the length of the trousers only by actually putting them on.

180 178-182 184 182-186 188 186-190 192 190-194 196 194-198 200 198-202

Important! Manufacturers, manufacturers, garment factories from different countries (especially in China!) often do not comply with the standards, they sew according to their own patterns, plus they have their own understanding of what size this model is. Therefore, often they put numbers that do not correspond to the tables above. Be careful, especially when ordering online. Look at the specified sizes exactly in centimeters and already compare with the size according to the table.

Often the sizes are indicated in the tables on the seller's websites, carefully study them and compare them with your data.

This video is well told about the length of the trousers in tight trousers.

Video "Correct length of tight pants"

Classic pants

1. If you find it difficult to choose the length of the trousers, take trousers with a small pleat at the bottom, so that the heel of the shoes is half closed.
2. If you squat down and feel too tight / wide - this is not your size.
3. If you can not find the size, then look for another manufacturer. The pattern and cut are different for everyone. You may be lucky with another fashion designer.
4. If possible, avoid folds in the belt, they make people unnecessarily full.

The length of the trousers depends on their width. The wider the trousers, the longer they should be. The width of the classic trousers at the bottom is 2/3 of the length of the shoe, i.e. one third of the shoe should be visible. For such trousers, the length at the back can reach half the height of the heel or cover the heel by 2/3. In front, the trousers should lie on the shoe and form one hall. If the trousers are without cuffs, then the bottom line has a bevel: the trousers are slightly longer in the back than in the front. If the trousers are cuffed, then the bottom of the trousers should be straight (parallel to the floor). The width of the cuffs in trousers is from 3 to 5 cm.

Wrong length!

1. The length of the trouser leg should slightly cover the boot, ideally it should reach the middle of the boot. Behind, it should be up to the middle of the heel.
2. Pants that go down over shoes should not form more than one fold.
3. Pants should be of such length that socks do not peek out. But when a man sits down, socks are visible anyway. Therefore, there is a separate rule about them: they must be matched to match the trousers and be of such length that bare legs are not visible - this is bad manners.

Chinos, Khakis & Corduroys

More informal trousers, such as chinos, khakis, or corduroys, should be a bit more form-fitting than dress pants. In addition, they can be worn 3-4 centimeters below the waist. However, it is worth paying attention to this point. If you wear chinos to work and match the Business casual or Smart casual style, then the length and width of the trousers should be closer to the classic style. If you choose a casual style, then you can choose narrower and shorter trousers, even slightly opening the ankle. Or vice versa, wider and longer, so that a fold forms from below.

1. When choosing the length of trousers, you should proceed from the dress code. The more the pleat at the bottom, the more informal the dress code.
2. Pants should be tight-fitting, so don't be alarmed if your pants look a little tight when you squat. This is fine.
3. Don't worry if your pockets protrude a little while squatting. This is fine with chinos, khakis, or corduroys.
4. Avoid creases at the waist, the two-finger rule is also relevant here.

Jeans

Perhaps the most informal of all pants (do not take shorts into account). There are many options for how jeans should fit correctly. Basically, jeans are worn even lower than chinos. On most people, jeans that are slightly tapered to the bottom look good. They should be slightly tight if we are talking about fashion and beauty. To be free if we are talking about comfort.

1) To choose the right men's trousers, you need to walk at least a couple of steps after trying them on. They should be as comfortable as possible. It is believed that two fingers can be placed in the belt of "comfortable" jeans. Usually, after you have walked, it is easier to understand whether the trousers are “yours” or not.

2) An important nuance - trousers should be kept at the waist, and not at the hips. This is not just a tribute to the classics or fashion, but an aid in the visual correction of the figure. By nature, the male belly is somewhat convex, and just the trousers gently fit it and hide this small flaw. If the trousers hang on the hips, the emphasis will fall just on the stomach.

3) If classic trousers have pockets, then make sure that they do not bulge, as this deprives the image of elegance and evokes an association with a boy who stuffed anything into his pockets. In general, trouser pockets are intended only for keys or a purse. For everything else, there is a briefcase or some other bag.

4) It is also worth paying attention to the physique of a man in order to emphasize his dignity and gracefully hide figure flaws. For example, straight trousers without arrows and with wide legs are more suitable for a full man, and trousers with cuffs and pleats at the waist to help hide excessive thinness are more suitable for a thin tall man.

5) Do not forget that the trousers themselves will not hold, and you will need a belt or braces. The classic option is, of course, a belt. For him, usually 6 loops are made on trousers. If there are fewer loops, the trousers may fit a little worse. The color of the belt should match the color of the shoes, and also should not contrast strongly with the color of the trousers. The more modest the belt looks, the better, of course. For extravagance, you can wear suspenders, but do not forget that you need to choose one thing. Wearing both at the same time is a sign of terrible taste. By the way, the color of the suspenders should match the color of the tie (or as close as possible in tone)

6) Since trousers become unusable much faster than jackets, it’s worth buying them together, but it’s better to take two pairs of trousers with one jacket. It is not necessary that the trousers and jacket be the same color. In this regard, you can experiment nicely, but you should not get carried away so as not to look vulgar.

We told you what are the styles of jeans, what is the difference between a loose fit and jeans "in a glove". A lot of attention was paid to the choice of jeans fit, as well as signs of truly high-quality jeans that distinguish them from cheap Chinese consumer goods.

Today, in the second part, we will switch to selection men's jeans size- the most important aspect of their purchase! A properly sized thing sits comfortably and looks beautiful, while jeans that are too small are mercilessly tight, and excessively large ones dangle and gather in unsympathetic “bags”.

We select the size of men's jeans correctly

It is extremely important to choose the right jeans size. Too tight jeans will squeeze and crush, and short ones will just look funny. Similarly, overly long and loose jeans will look ugly. Therefore, jeans should be exactly the right fit.
When choosing the size of jeans, you need to consider two main parameters:

1. leg length- the distance from the base of the thigh to the very beginning of the foot (from the crotch to the ankle). On the label of jeans, the length is usually indicated by the Latin letter L (in English, the length is "Length"), but the Inseam designation is also found;
2. Waist- girth (circumference) of the waist. On the label it is indicated by the letter W (in English, the waist is “Waist”).

Reminder scheme: sizes of men's jeans

At the same time, as a rule, the dimensions are indicated not in centimeters, but in inches(1 inch = 2.54 cm). The first number is the waist (W), the second is the leg length (L). Usually these numbers are written through a fraction, or next to the corresponding letters.

For example: "W:28 L:32" or "28 / 32". That is, jeans of the 28th size in the waist, and the 32nd in length.

Remember that not all manufacturers exactly follow the dimensions. And jeans with the same size can vary significantly in length and waist. Examples are unavoidable here.

So, with the designation of sizes on the labels decided. So how to choose the size of men's jeans according to the figure? If you are a more or less classical (proportional) physique, our table will help you to illustrate the dependence of the length of jeans (L) on height:

Jeans length selection table depending on height

Knowing your own height, it is easy to choose men's jeans by length.

We do not recommend purchasing jeans with a "margin" of length. If you think you can always shorten them, then be warned - this is not the best idea. Firstly, even the best atelier can shorten jeans of poor quality (trouser legs will become different lengths, the seam will be sloppy, etc.). In addition, the proportion of jeans will be violated - the knees will shift downwards. Secondly, although now jeans may seem long to you, washing them or wearing a belt, it may turn out that they will fit just right. Therefore, buy jeans in your size.

As for the waist circumference (W), then a banal fitting of jeans in a shopping center and the following table will help you here:

Size chart of men's jeans and their corresponding body parameters

Alternatively, you can use the old one, but effective trick. Bend your elbow and make a fist. Now try to place the arm bent in this way in the buttoned jeans. If she enters them back to back, it means that they will fit you at the waist (however, for overweight men this rule may not apply, you will have to try on jeans).

In any case, you should not buy jeans that are too loose (this will break the proportions of the clothes, and cotton tends to stretch) or too tight jeans (think about). In other words, jeans should not be fastened with force, but they should not hang freely on the hips either.

How to wear jeans: with or without accordion?

Many men, having decided to buy new jeans, begin to doubt: should the jeans form an “accordion” and lie on the shoes, or should the jeans be so long that they only reach the edge of the shoe? So how should jeans cover shoes (shoes, sneakers, sneakers) or be butted with them?

The answer to this question depends on jeans style and personal clothing style:

• in the case of skinny jeans, they usually involve wearing butt to the edge of the shoe;
• wider jeans should be of such length that the edge of the leg reaches the middle of the heel of the shoe, forming a small " harmonica". That is, jeans should form a fold, lying on your shoes in front. The optimal size of such a fold is 3 centimeters.

In general, jeans should not be so long that they bulge. But they should not be too short - when you sit down, jeans should not bare legs in socks. A small margin in length should still be available.

So, now you know everything you need to choose the right men's jeans. Summing up, let us finally formulate some simple tips:

well and the most important- so that you like jeans, and they are comfortable to wear. Happy shopping!

The length of the trousers is the main secret of the elegance of any model, as well as the harmonious image of a woman. Surprisingly, it’s enough just not to guess with the length by 1–2 cm, and as a result, you get the visual effect of extra pounds, although you didn’t even have those. Also, the length of the legs is considered a common mistake that can ruin the most perfect look. How to be? How to navigate when buying trousers? The main criteria for choosing trousers is the variety of models and their length in relation to the heel.. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with the most common models of trousers and their perfect fit.

The length of the trousers also depends on the width of the chosen models. There is a simple rule that is easy to remember: with a narrow bottom edge of the trousers, they are shorter, with a free edge, they are longer.

Dependence on heel height

According to the rules of etiquette, leg length should reach the middle of the heel. It looks natural, harmonious, plus the legs in this case seem more slender and long. This length can be called a reference, classic, but now there are so many new models that not only women, but also the rules of etiquette do not keep up with such a variety. For example, if you take fashionable pipe models or flares, then such reference parameters will no longer be relevant.

Classic trousers and their length

Non-classic

Almost all popular and fashionable models this and last season are classified as non-classic. It is also important to know the optimal length for each model.

What length to choose?

The easiest way to choose the length in the case of shortened models. In this case, there is a heel or not, it does not matter at all. The result will be suitable in almost all cases. But wide pants do not have such versatility when choosing. You can get out of the situation as follows - buy two pairs of different lengths. Some for shoes with heels, others for without.

To choose the right model for you, it is best to use measurements. However, in practice, which of the girls goes shopping with a centimeter? Therefore, as an alternative you need to try on in the shoes with which the trousers will be worn. Only in this case you can see how closed or open the heel is.

Important! Pants with the right choice are combined harmoniously with both flat-soled shoes and heels, do not cause discomfort when walking.

There is another method for the right choice - overlaying the tried on model on top of the old one, in which the length is completely satisfied.

What if growth is low? How to lengthen your legs with trousers?

The choice will be radically different for small and tall girls. They fit completely different styles. If women of short stature opt for short ones, then visually they only shorten their legs, the figure will turn into a disproportionate one.

But if you choose a style on the floor, your legs will immediately look longer and slimmer. A great option for straight models with arrows and high heels. Arrows instantly turn any girl into a long-legged beauty. The length in this case should be up to the middle of the heel. Don't forget the flared trousers. They are especially indicated for wide hips. In this case, they should cover almost the entire foot.

Pants length for tall women

For tall girls, different rules apply. Long pants will elongate your figure. It is better not to try to lengthen the silhouette even more with the help of elongated clothing styles, straight trousers with arrows. The ideal would be trousers of classic length, but with cuffs or cropped capri pants, culottes, skinny, which visually shorten the figure.

Wrong Examples

If you do not know all the features listed above, you can make a lot of mistakes when choosing a wardrobe, and it is unprofitable to present yourself. The most common mistakes are:

• narrow models should not form an accordion along the line of the leg edge. Such folds add extra volume and make the legs shorter.
• wrong example of direct models. The most common mistake is that they are too long. Indeed, in this case, the trouser leg will begin to gather like an accordion at the feet;
• too short wide trousers. The trouser leg starts right above the heel, which gives the impression that the trousers have become small.

What is the ideal fit?

There are several parameters by which it is easy to determine that the pants fit perfectly and fit in size. Consider the example of classical direct models:

What length is in fashion now?

Last season, short skinny pants were at the peak of popularity. The length of these pants can be 7/8 or 3/4. Cropped trousers are often sewn from dense fabrics of natural composition. This year, although this trend is declining, it was these trousers that could be seen most of all on women.

In 2019, all the attention of designers is directed to palazzo trousers. They differ in width, sometimes from a distance they can be confused with a long skirt. They create an incredibly feminine silhouette. Choosing this girl, they are not only confident in themselves, but also feel as comfortable as possible, because such a style ideally hides any shortcomings of the hips and legs.

The correct length of jeans for women is one of the most important issues that a fashionista should worry about before buying and, accordingly, wearing new clothes. You probably paid attention to the girls who neglected the rules for the length of jeans, and the leg was either "shot" or dragged along the floor, covering the traces of walking. This is not our option with you, so we will cover the topic of the correct length of jeans.

How to choose the length of jeans?

When choosing your pair of jeans, consider several factors. Firstly, this is a feature of denim, when buying a model made of elastic jeans, be aware that after some time of wearing it it will stretch, so it is better to take a model one size smaller, taking into account its future wear. Secondly, when going shopping for a new pair, immediately consider what kind of shoes you are going to wear jeans with. Sports style shoes - sneakers and sneakers suggest a leg length 1-2 cm above the edge of the sole.

Do you prefer? In this case, the leg length should reach the middle of the heel or slightly lower. If the model is slightly flared, then you can leave the maximum length - to the floor, hiding the heel in this case. But then don't forget about a really high heel, otherwise you risk turning into a shorty. It is especially appropriate to try on such an image for short girls who can add the right centimeters to themselves with the help of a heel or platform.

Basically, modern jeans are sewn with a small supply of fabric so that we can adjust the required length. If you have the skills of simple cutting and sewing, then it will not be difficult for you to hem jeans. Well, if it is difficult for you to complete this procedure, then give a pair of new jeans to the atelier, where they will help you bring them to the required state in the shortest possible time.

So, the answer to the question of how long jeans should be is obvious. The length of jeans for women must comply with the norms so that the overall image does not seem ridiculous and ridiculous.
