How to choose the right length of jeans. How long should men's jeans be?

Jeans have long ceased to be exotic clothing, today they are worn everywhere, regardless of age and social status.

They can be both exclusively tailored and mass-produced, respectively, and their cost varies significantly. But, as in all times, the most main problem associated with the purchase of this popular clothes is to determine the right size, especially if you want to buy jeans through an online store. Indeed, how to understand whether this is the size of the picture?

The birthplace of jeans is America in the middle of the 19th century, America of gold miners.

Jeans began to sew in 1853. Belgian migrant Levi Strauss (Leiba Strauss) in San Francisco. His pants were popular with gold miners for their practicality and durability. Levis became the first brand among jeans. The word jeans comes from the fact that the bales of fabric, which were made in the French city of Nimes, were stamped by the Italian port of Genoa (Genoese). The Americans changed this word into jeans. And the fabric itself - blue twill from Nimes (de Nimes) began to be called denim. Jeans were popular in the early 20th century. thanks to cowboy films, but they gained worldwide fame in the 60s, during the hippie era. Then jeans began to be decorated with all sorts of embroideries, rhinestones and beads. They began to sew shirts and jackets from denim, and dye jeans in different colors. By the way classic color for denim - indigo, the pigment of which was originally obtained from the plant Indigofera (China and India), and then since 1878. began to use synthetic dye.

Problem of choice
Not a secret, denim clothing placed on the pages of catalogs, in real life looks a little different. This applies to absolutely all aspects, even color and style. Jeans sizes may also turn out to be inappropriate, but in this case it is not the seller, but the buyer who is often to blame, since he simply incorrectly calculated the required size.

The main confusion has to do with different metric systems used to calculate sizes around the world. Therefore, before buying clothes on the Internet, you need to pay attention to:

A detailed description of the commodity item, which will allow you to verify the correctness decision;
The presence of photographs in various angles;
Dimensional characteristics, information on the use of a specific sizing system;
color scheme, specific details.

Tables of women's and men's sizes jeans

The fear of making a mistake in size and being disappointed in the quality of the product delivered from the online store, unfortunately, largely prevails over the desire to receive good thing with minimal time investment. But it is possible with maximum precision determine the size of jeans, a correspondence table indicating the measurement will be a good help in resolving this issue. And here it is important that the site provides the most complete information about the measurement characteristics.

How to determine the correct size of jeans
First you need to understand which system corresponds to the size of the jeans. By the way, there are several ways to calculate them, but most often the native American system is used, which is based on two letter values: W (volume in the belt) and L (leg length). They are calculated like this:

W is defined as the difference between Russian size clothes and the number 16;
L is selected depending on the growth, the greater the growth, the more value(with a height of 170cm -185cm, it is 32L).

Additional data may be needed to determine the right dimensions jeans, the table for W and L is shown below.

Sizes of men's jeans

Waist size (W)			Length size (L)

Sizes of women's jeans (W)

US size	Waist, see	Hips, cm.




















Plus size jeans

Sizes of women's jeans (L)

L		Length cm

Also, the tables below will help you quickly find your size combination.

It should be noted that different manufacturers dimensional grids may vary. You can transfer the waist size to the usual for Russia by a simple ratio of W + 16, for example, 32 + 16 = 48.

It is also important to know that jeans may be sold pre-shrunk, which will not shrink after the first wash. Usually this is indicated by a special mark on the sticker.

Practical Tips

Sizing men's jeans ov.
So, jeans sizes are indicated by two numbers W (waist) and L (leg length), for example W34L32. W - waist measurement in inches. L - leg length along the inner seam.

W34 L32 - the size indicates that the waist circumference of the owner of these jeans is 34 inches (34 * 2.54 = 86.4 cm),
and the leg length corresponds to 32 inches (32 * 2.54 = 81 cm)

The values of W correspond to the values of H (hips) - the volume of the hips, and L, of course, is determined by the type of figure and the height of the person.
These ratios are different for men and women.

NEVER SIZE "W" men's jeans by directly measuring the waist in a centimeter - you will get a number larger by a few centimeters and you can "jump from the stove" into jeans.

There are two ways to determine the “W” size:

1.indicative:

If you know your “Soviet” pants size, then subtracting the number 16 from it, we get the “W” size of American “pants”.

FOR EXAMPLE: Your "Soviet" size is 50 (Fiftieth)

We get: 50-16=34 - "W" = 34 W34

2. more accurate, measuring:

Find “favorite jeans” in your wardrobe, those that do not fall off when you walk, but you also wear them “without soap”, that is, pants that are comfortable. Fasten the button on the belt and lay it out on the table.

ATTENTION: Jeans should be pre-washed as they will "sit down"- try to return to the original (not stretched) state.

We measure with a centimeter or a ruler the distance between the extreme points of the belt (along the bottom seam) through the button, as shown in the figure:

Multiply the resulting number by 2. If the measurements were made in centimeters, the result must be divided by 2.54.

You will receive a size "W", but taking into account the fact that your jeans are not new (worn out, stretched out), the size you need is adjust-from the size you need subtract 1

FOR EXAMPLE: The measured value is 44.5 centimeters.

44,5 * 2 / 2,54 = 35 - It's a "W" size. Subtract one: 35 - 1 = 34

YOUR Size W34

Now it's the turn to determine the size "L":

Determine the length according to the "Soviet" size in this case it won’t work, because in jeans it’s not the height of a person that matters, but the length of his legs. As you know, the length of the legs with the same height in different people may also be different.

We take a tape measure or a centimeter and measure the length from the crotch to the edge of the leg along the inner seam, as in the picture:

If the measurements were made in centimeters, divide the resulting value by 2.54 (to convert to inches). The resulting figure is the size "L".

Keep in mind that although most jeans are pre-treated (washed jeans), they still shrink a little after the first two washes.
According to experience from 1 to 3 centimeters.

Sizing women's jeans

WITH women's size everything is easier to measure and harder to understand.

The size index for women's jeans also consists of two values:

first- this is a combination of waist and hips (ranges from 0 to 30). For convenience, the sizes are divided into three groups: Petite(miniature), Regular(standard), Plus(large) juniors(teenager). If the group type is not present in the name, it is assumed Regular(standard).
second- this is the length indicator in inches - this is the same size L. Most often there are only three height sizes - 30, 32 and 34. Sometimes there are 28 and 36. Instead of numbers in the size, alphabetic values are affixed:

S - 30, M - 32, L- 34

If the letter is not indicated, the size is implied. M

FOR EXAMPLE: 4M or 4x32 or 4

These are all values of the same size, which means a waist to hip ratio of 66x91.5 cm and a leg length of 81 cm.

To determine your size, you need to take measurements as shown in the figure:

Size (A)- is the circumference of the waist

Size (B) 10 centimeters

Size (S)- it turns out if you make a measurement, dropping from the waistline exactly by 20 centimeters

To determine your size according to the tables, you will need size (A) And size (C)

ATTENTION:Size (S) is not hip circumference, the measurement is made a little higher - at a distance of 20 centimeters from the waist measurement level

We measure the parameters of the test subject with a centimeter, it is desirable to tighten the tape as tight as possible. From the two values \u200b\u200bobtained (we first convert centimeters to inches by dividing the numbers by 2.54) - we find the size from the table.

Since all modern Women jeans are made with the addition of Elastane and Lycra, the so-called Stretch, which means they stretch well, you can round the resulting numbers down to a whole value. Less is better than more.

FOR EXAMPLE:

These jeans should fit you perfectly.

Regular

US size	00	0	2	4	6	8	10	12	14	16	18
Size (A)	23,50	24,25	25	26	27	28	29	31	32	33	34
Size (S)	33,50	34,25	35	36	37	38	39	40,5	42	43	44

Petit (petite)

US size	2P	4P	6p	8P	10p	12p	14p
Size (A)	23,5	24,6	25,5	26,5	27,5	29	30,5
Size (S)	34	35	36	37	38	39,5	41

13 Size (A) 23 24 25 26 27 28 29,5 31 Size (S) 33 34 35 36 37 38 39,5 41

For exact definition parameter W, you must first measure the waist circumference at the narrowest point. Tape measure should run horizontally along the natural waistline. Then the resulting value must be converted to inches, dividing by 2.54.
For example, a waist measurement of 64 cm corresponds to a 25 inch jeans size (64 / 2.54 = 25.2). For a more accurate choice of the jeans size that suits you, depending on the type of fit (high, medium, low), we recommend additionally measuring the girth at the level of the waistband in a particular model.
The measurement level should be determined according to the figure. Next, compare the resulting value with the belt width data presented in the table, and select the closest value.

Determining the length of the inseam L (otherwise-height). Measured from the bottom of the middle seam of the trousers to the floor or to the level of the upper edge of the heel with legs slightly apart. The resulting value must be converted to inches by dividing by 2.54. So, for a value of 87 cm, 34 pants height corresponds (87 / 2.54 \u003d 34.3)

Jeans should fit snugly to the body, so buying a product a size larger is at least pointless. In the process of wearing, they will stretch even more, but they will never shrink when washed. It's better to buy something a little smaller, especially if it's made from stretch fabric.

If an online store provides incomplete information and indicates jeans sizes casually, then it’s better not to waste time choosing clothes here, because the likelihood of buying a “pig in a poke” is high. You can safely buy a thing if the parameters of the model of interest are indicated as complete as possible, namely:

Semi-girth in the belt;
Inseam length;
Rise in front on a lightning;
Climbing up back seam;
Semi circumference of the thigh;
Length along the inner edge of the leg to the knee;
Semi-girth at the knee;
Semi-girth of the trouser leg at the bottom;
Long on the outside seam.

In no case should you buy jeans "by eye", because to guess Exact size virtually impossible in all respects. And if there is doubt, even if there is complete information, then it is better to compare them with the jeans already in the wardrobe or compare these measurements in the nearest store where branded jeans are sold. This approach will not make a mistake when buying jeans. famous brands Levis, Wrangler, Lee, and enjoy the new thing for a long time.

We select the size of men's jeans correctly

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

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 language length "Length"), but the designation Inseam is also found;
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 aware - this is not the most 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 mall and the following table:

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 suit you at the waist (however, for obese men this rule may not apply, jeans will have to be tried on).

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:

when 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.

A small "accordion" at the bottom of the jeans is quite acceptable

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!

Denim pants are a versatile item that can be found in the wardrobe of almost any man. And since for most this piece of clothing is associated with a daily suit, you want the jeans to fit well and emphasize the silhouette favorably. Not everyone can answer how long men's jeans should be, although this characteristic is considered one of the most important when choosing.

Usually, when choosing jeans, the buyer thinks about the style, price, brand, carefully selects the shade. The least attention is paid to the length, believing that it is always possible to shorten the product.

However, experts call this approach fundamentally wrong. After all, each model has certain proportions, and the shortening operation (which is often carried out incorrectly) distorts these parameters, which causes violations in the contours of the silhouette and can give an absurd look. For a person who is not indifferent to his appearance, the correct length of trousers is important.

It should be noted that men's fashion is characterized by greater conservatism than women's. There are two approaches to the length of trousers:

classic standard - it implies that the length should be such that the front of the leg forms one fold, hiding the lacing of the shoes, and the back edge is between the beginning of the heel and the median line of the back of the shoes;
"mid-Atlantic" standard - having arisen in Europe, it has spread quite widely in the world and is relevant today for fashion traditions New World. It implies a slightly shorter length, in which the trouser leg does not hide the lacing of the shoes in front, and barely reaches the shoes in the back. This style allows you to demonstrate your dear stylish shoes. But he requires skinny trousers, otherwise it will look ridiculous.

Both of these standards are relevant today, the first is considered more conservative, and the second is more fashionable. All recommendations apply to regular jeans. The selection of tucked models is carried out according to other rules, so it should be considered separately.

Ideal length according to the model

Fashion for men is less likely to breed cardinal changes in the style of wardrobe items. Periodically, new trends appear, new models appear. Today, in the variety of cuts of denim pants, three main models can be distinguished. Their features and length requirements are also different. Let's analyze these features in more detail.

Classic Straight

This is an ageless classic that never loses its relevance. It is easy to recognize this model: the legs, starting from the hips, have straight outline lines and a slight narrowing at the bottom. The widespread popularity of the model was ensured by its good fit regardless of the shape type. This cut fits especially well. sports men, owners of the relief muscles of the legs.

Choosing the length for this model, it is worth stopping at the classic standard. Otherwise, it will seem that the legs are short and open the legs too much (especially if you sit down). The option is combined with any shoes, suitable for all seasons.

When modeling such trousers, they sometimes resort to a little trick: the bottom cut line of the leg is not made straight, but with a slight slope from front to back. Then the back of the trouser leg will cover exactly as much of the heel as needed, and in front it will not form an untidy "accordion", but will give exactly one beautiful fold.

Skinny

This cut suggests a tight fit around the hips. From below, the legs can be straight, or they can tightly fit the calves (“skinny” type). This style is popular with young people and is perfect for people with a thin physique. However, the narrowed cut can also emphasize the shortcomings of the figure. Therefore, it is not recommended for obese men.

With regard to determining the length of skinny jeans for men, they often resort to the "mid-Atlantic" standard. Important point: designers do not recommend adding heavily narrowed trousers and classic shoes, and the office dress code does not allow such a combination.

flare

Models with trouser legs widening below the knees were very popular at the dawn of the formation of rock and roll and are associated with the "rebellious 60s". Today at men's fashion they are rare, which is a pity, because this is a very interesting stylistic decision. It shows the advantages of the figure well and hides the disadvantages.

The length of flared jeans for men is selected according to the shoes. Neither classical nor “European” manners are applicable here, it is necessary that the legs almost completely hide the shoes, but at the same time do not interfere with movement. As a compromise between fashion and convenience, you can stop at a length that covers half the heel and does not reach the floor by 1 cm.

How to fold

special fashion trend men these days are rolled up jeans. Here the society was divided into categorical supporters and irreconcilable opponents. But millions of young people in an effort to look stylish are already wearing trousers that way. Therefore, we will find out how to properly tuck jeans.

First, a few general points:

The dimensions of the gate are determined based on growth. The taller the man, the wider the cuffs should be;
do not forget that the fashion for the rolled-up trouser leg was born in a much warmer climate. Do not experiment in the cold season;
style implies some carelessness, so you should not strive for a clear geometric shape cuff;
wearing socks is considered in the context of the overall length of the legs and the time of year. If it's warm outside, between top edge shoes and the lower edge of the cuff has a gap, you should not wear socks.

The execution of the tackle can be different. The specific option depends on the type of material and its shade. For example, I rarely roll dark tight jeans more than 2 times. The width of the cuff is 4-6 cm, depending on the height. Light summer model you can tuck it three times, but it is not recommended to make a tackle wider than 3 cm.

An important question: with what shoes to wear rolled up pants? At bad combination a tackle may not look stylish, but ridiculous. Usually choose not too much high shoes sports or "street" style (sneakers, sneakers, moccasins). WITH classic shoes better to wear something else.

Common Mistakes

Unfortunately, it happens that the length of men's jeans in the store seems to be optimal, but at home it turns out that the legs are too short or, on the contrary, too long. Such unwanted effect is a direct consequence of selection errors. Let's dwell on them in more detail:

you should not choose trousers (or order hemmed trousers in the atelier) without taking into account shoes. When buying a thing in the summer, the fitting is done in shoes on flat sole. And in the fall, when jeans are worn with boots on high heels, it turns out that the legs are short. To avoid such a misunderstanding, take with you to the store or atelier a pair of shoes with which you will wear denim pants most often;
it is worth checking how the model behaves while driving. Squat deep a few times and see how high the cut of the leg will be. He should not open the bone on the leg (when choosing classical model). It is also worth trying to sit on a chair or strongly bend your leg. In this case, jeans should not open the toe;
it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of denim and the presence of synthetic fibers in the composition of the fabric. If their content is high, there is a risk that the model will shrink after washing and become smaller. High-quality fabric with a high content of cotton almost does not shrink.

Given these rules, it is much easier to find jeans of the right length. As last advice it should be said that fashion trends and recommendations of stylists still cannot be considered as an indisputable truth. The final measure will be your own sense of style, then the choice will be perfect!

detailed instructions how to choose ideal length trousers different style With various types shoes.

The ideal length of trousers is a tough stylish nut not only for men, but also for women. In this matter, you, like a miner, have no right to make a mistake. It is worth missing - and here they are, an additional 10 kg, which you did not have just a minute ago!

Let's figure out how long pants should be various styles so that they do not visually shorten the legs.

Wide pants

This applies to trousers and jeans with flares (from the hip or knee) and wide trousers straight cut.

The problem with wide, loose pants is that the same leg length can't look good with both heels and low heels at the same time. That is why, in really expensive stores, trousers are cut off according to the height of the buyer.

If you find the perfect pair of pants, it's a good idea to buy two pairs, one to fit your heels and the other to fit your flats. Yes, it will require a financial investment, but if you know you'll be carrying pants for a long time, it's worth it.

If you don't want to shorten your pants, take a pair of shoes with which you plan to wear them with you to the store to determine the correct length.

with heels

Wrong:

Too short. The trouser leg opens the entire foot (not only the heel is visible, but also the heel)

Wide trousers with heels: too short

Too long. The trouser leg covers the entire foot (shoes are not visible at all, even when walking).

Wide trousers with heels: too long

Right:

The leg ends at a distance of 2-3 cm from the floor.
Almost the entire heel is closed, but the nose of the shoe peeps out.

Wide trousers with heels: the right length

Without heels

Wrong:

Too short. They end at ankle level and open up the entire foot.
Too long. Literally dragging on the floor.

Right:

The trouser leg covers almost the entire foot, but does not touch the ground.

Wide trousers without heels: the right length

Palazzo trousers

Separately, it is worth mentioning the special style of wide trousers - palazzo trousers. They are trousers-skirt with a very wide trousers and are sewn from light, flying fabrics.

Palazzo trousers: too short

When walking, the legs bounce higher than in the case of other styles, so the palazzo should cover the shoes completely (i.e. end at a level of 1-1.5 cm above the floor) if you do not want to look several sizes larger.

Palazzo Pants: The Right Length

Straight fit trousers

Straight-cut trousers are a style in which the width of the leg is the same along the entire length.

with heels

Wrong:

Too long. The trouser leg should not be too long, otherwise it will gather like an accordion on the heel.
Too short. The trouser leg starts right above the heel, which gives the impression that you have grown out of the trousers.

Right:

The trouser leg should cover half of the heel, but not cover the heel.

Straight fit trousers: correct length

Without heels

Wrong:

Too long. When walking, you step on the leg with your heel.
Too short. The same story as in the paragraph about heels: it seems that the panties do not fit you.

Right:

The trouser leg ends at the level of the foot and does not cover the heel.

Cropped trousers

Perhaps one of the reasons for the great popularity of trousers that end at the ankle is that such a style "justifies" short length- after all, they are intentionally shortened! And this means that no one will think that the pants simply sat down after washing.

As a rule, cropped trousers taper slightly at the bottom to enhance the “intentional” effect of the short length.

with heels

Wrong:

Too long. The whole point of cropped trousers is that they should be cropped! If the pants of this style look like normal length pants on you, then this is not your height.
Too short. Cropped trousers can be shortened both by 5 cm and by 10. The main thing is not to get carried away - if the trouser leg ends in the middle of the calf, such trousers will look ridiculous with heels.

Right:

The trouser leg ends at or slightly above the ankle.

Crop Pants with Heels: Correct Length

Without heel

Wrong:

Too short. The same story - shortened, but without fanaticism!
Too long. Reach to ankle level or below.

Right:

The cropped trousers you are going to wear with low heels should show more of your leg than with heels. They should end above the ankle so that there is no feeling that you are wearing too short straight trousers.

Cropped Pants without Heels: The Right Length

Long tapered trousers

Separately, it is worth mentioning the trousers of normal length narrowed at the bottom. Like their cropped counterparts, they should leave some leather behind without covering the foot.

Wrong:

You tucked your long, tapered trousers into your boots. As a result, they gather like an accordion.
The trouser-leg covers a heel. Or rather, it hugs her.

Long tapered trousers: on the left - the correct length; on the right - you need to tuck

Right:

The trouser leg wraps around the ankle.
In the case of boots, you rolled up your pants, leaving a small gap between the leg and the shoe.

Pants with hem details

Any emphasis on the hem of the leg, be it cuff, elastic or ties, makes life easier, because they are "intentionally short" in the square.

Right:

No matter how high the pants end, you can always assume that you chose this length on purpose.

Wrong:

The only caveat: never and under no circumstances should such trousers be tucked into boots or boots.

Trousers with hem details: fits almost any length

Tight pants

Skinny is the perfect trouser style for boots and high boots, because in this case their length does not matter. You just tuck them in and that's it. Nuances arise when they are worn with open shoes.

Wrong:

Trousers are too long and gather at the ankle or completely fit the heel.

Tight pants: too long

Right:

Skinny ends above the ankle.

Skinny pants: correct length

IN women's wardrobe Pants have been around for quite some time. Even before the Second World War, they were exclusively menswear. The first to allow herself to wear men's trousers was the well-known writer George Sand (she had long been accustomed to male image, hence the male pseudonym). At first, everyone considered her an eccentric, because she wore not only trousers, but also other items. men's wardrobe. However, after the end of the war, many women changed into trousers, as they were convenient for working in industries where there were very few men. And besides, for tailoring men's trousers took much less material than on a dress, and in the conditions of the post-war crisis this was very important.

How to choose the right length of women's trousers

1. Length women's trousers should match their width. In other words, than already bottom edge trousers, the shorter the trousers themselves, and, conversely, the looser the edge, the longer the trousers. So:

» flared trousers (bottom edge 25-27 cm wide) should be mid-heel long;
» straight dress pants (bottom edge 23-25 cm wide) - 2.5-3 cm shorter than flared ones;
»Pants tapered down (lower edge 19-21 cm wide) - 2.5-3 cm shorter than the classic ones, they should slightly open the instep and ankle. However, the thickness of the ankle itself should also be taken into account. If the leg is too thin, then it is better to pick up trousers a little longer, or narrow the leg, otherwise they simply will not seem narrowed;
» very wide trousers (bottom hem more than 27 cm wide) should almost touch the floor.

2. When purchasing trousers, it is better to give preference to more long models. The thing is that after the first wash, many fabrics “shrink”, and therefore trousers that were slightly longer than the desired level can acquire a normal length, and short trousers Unfortunately, it will not be possible to recover.
