What is the best length of men's trousers?
Although the trousers are simple in style, in fact, they have many noteworthy places, such as the length of trousers. Because everyone's legs are different in length, there is basically enough margin for the length of each new suit and trousers. The first thing you have to do after buying home is to cut off some trouser legs according to your leg length. So, where should the length of trousers be kept to be exquisite?
As I have said before, there are also many people who say that you should pay attention to basic etiquette when wearing pants. It means "no white socks" and "pants should be long enough", so that even if you wear white socks, you won't run out when you walk. So experienced tailors suggested that the best length of trousers is to cover the heel and be 0.5- 1 cm from the ground.
White socks with dark leather shoes are really a bit unsightly, but there is nothing absolute. There is a person who is recognized as wearing dark leather shoes with white socks. He is Michael Jackson who died not long ago. Let's talk about the length of pants. Imagine, if the length of trousers is left behind and only 1 cm from the ground, what will happen in front? As you can imagine, there will be a concave fold on the upper. What's the use of this concave fold?
The golden ratio of a person's leg length and height is 0.6 18. If your legs are particularly long, such as height 178 and leg length 1 12, then this wrinkle can help you visually modify your figure and make tall legs look less abrupt. But what if your legs are not that long? Obviously, this wrinkle has become a burden that worsens your image and makes your slightly shorter legs look shorter.
So for the average person, where should the length of trousers be decided? We might as well learn from Prince Charles, who has the most tasteful clothes. The part where the hem of trousers meets the leather shoes should be kept between 0.5-2 cm, so that the whole trousers can always keep a natural drape and there will be no fabric wrinkles on the upper.
What kind of pants fabric is good?
Whole sheep wool and blended fabric
There is no doubt that fabric is the basis of clothing quality. This is especially true for suits that are mainly introverted. Like a coat, the fabric of trousers is also very particular. However, there is one difference between trousers and tops: wearing a suit is "stiff", so many linings are added to the coat to reflect Wu Ying's masculinity; But if it's too hard, it's easy to wrinkle, so you should wear pants "soft", so the lining of pants is quite small, and the quality of pants is really determined by the fabric. This kind of fabric must be very good to make it feel soft. A suit that combines rigidity and softness is a high-quality suit.
So, what is "softness"? Only natural fabrics will have a soft and comfortable feeling, such as mulberry silk, cashmere or high-grade wool woven fabrics are particularly supple. Silk and cashmere are high-grade fabrics that are easy to wear, and pants are indeed luxury goods, so the main material of pants is relatively wear-resistant wool, and of course it is only relatively wear-resistant. In order to make pants more resistant to friction, people add polyester (a high-strength synthetic chemical fiber material, which is stiff) to wool fabrics. So now the mainstream fabric components of pants are wool fabric and wool/polyester blended fabric.
It can only be said that the two fabrics have their own advantages. Because pants have to be said to be the most easily worn clothing item, it is understandable to give up some comfort in order to increase practicality. But according to the idea of Britain, the hometown of suits, pants should still be all wool. Do not interact with chemical fiber fabrics, which is determined by status and taste. Usually, you can wear blended pants to shuttle through the crowd, but at least, when attending grand or informal formal occasions, please wear an all-wool suit, which is a respect for yourself and a courtesy to the host.
As for the pants made of pure chemical fiber? None of us want to admit that it is pants!
Worsted and coarse spinning
Like suits, trousers fabrics can be divided into worsted fabrics and coarse fabrics according to their surface styles. See "Common Patterns of Suit Fabrics" for details. From the name, we can probably know that worsted fabrics are fine weavers and exquisite in style, which are the fabrics used in all formal dresses or dresses; The style of woolen cloth is rough, with a thin layer of fluff on the surface, mostly gray, or used for plaid. Warm and comfortable. But please remember that the fabric style is uniform, and woolen pants must be matched with the same woolen coat.
