A quick guide choosing a "perfect" pair of trouser!
What constitutes a perfect pair of trouser?Do you hate it when you always step on the cuffs of your trouser? In despair because your too-short trouser reveal your daddy-long-legs lookalike you call leg-hair?
- Trouser Fit
Nothing screams out unprofessional more than ill fitting trouser. The trouser should be loose enough to be comfortable, but fitting enough that it will not slide off your body on its own. The "perfect" pair of trouser should follow your body shape; sit nicely just above your waist, tapered all the way to the ankles. I'm sure you won't want to meet your clients looking like this:
- Trouser Length
Ever been to a meeting where one guy always has issues with his trouser? He keeps pulling them up to avoid stepping on the cuffs? Or the other guy from your office who, when crosses his legs you see his leg hair and ankle socks?
Too little break:
Pleats are little folds of fabric that are permanently fixed in place, running from the waistband down to the area where the zipper ends. The purpose of pleats is to add flexibility to the front of the trousers, expanding slightly when the wearer sits or stretches, and keeps the smooth appearance of the trouser without wrinkling and/or tightening. So, the age old question, to pleat or not to pleat? Well, it depends. Skinny men may look sloppy as pleats add layers to the trousers and make the trouser seem too big for them, while bigger sized men may go with pleats for flexibility and comfort.
I hope this post will help you out a long way in choosing a pair of trousers.
