What length should be classic women's trousers. The correct length of trousers for men, depending on the style. Skinny jeans length

Oddly enough, this is a new post related to style :) I missed you, friends and readers, and did not spare the time and pictures for this long-awaited post about the length of trousers / pants / jeans, so all eyes on length.

The first thing I would like to say is that in two days of targeted observation of women in trousers and jeans, I saw three (!) Women who wore the correct length. So there will be few competitors in this sense, as well as examples that people around can "spy on".

Second - length trousers and jeans depends on their style.

Everyone seems to know that to the middle of the heel is the correct length, and it seems like they heard that it is universal. But someone says that the rule is outdated. Not outdated. For classic women's trousers, this rule will never become obsolete. It's not a matter of trend or fashion - it's a matter of whether you look "shot" or not.

I have no idea "what kind of girl is this and where she lives", but the photos of "Afisha" are indicative...

Flared trousers or jeans

Flared trousers should cover your shoes. Preferably in full. This will add height, slenderness and reduce a little hips, who has too much with this. This is how it should look like:

When Victoria Beckham wears jeans, she does it flawlessly.

This is also allowed:

With trousers, in fact, nothing changes:

A lyrical digression about the compatibility of such an aristocratic length with Russian reality.
In fact, it's not as nightmarishly difficult to wear/clean as it might seem. But, yes, the shot trousers are, of course, more practical. Your will, as they say, and beauty requires, if not sacrifice, then effort.

Tight pants

We are talking about trousers now, jeans will be lower. The fundamental difference is that tight pants - they are not tight everywhere, they taper to the bottom. Skinny jeans are a rip-off.

It is obvious that pulling tight trousers so that they reach the middle of the heel is a test cleaner than Fort Boyard. Tight pants should reach to the ankle. Not above the ankle, not below the ankle. They should not cover the instep by bulging out the back, which is a common mistake.

When you put on shoes and the heel is in contact with the bottom edge of the trousers or the distance between them is less than a centimeter - most likely, the length is chosen well. Correct options:

Skinny jeans

Tight jeans are for those who either have no hips at all or very, very few. Before buying them, check how the thighs are. Especially if the skinny jeans with a low waist.

The length is generally the same as for tight trousers. With the fundamental difference that when you put on tight jeans, there should not be any footprints (they are also "footprints"), nylon socks "flesh" or any other colors, tights. Skinny jeans suggest graceful naked leg with a thin ankle. No options. If such nature has not rewarded you, then such jeans will not look quite the way you think.

Our own gaze and home mirrors deceive us much more often than we can imagine, unfortunately. This is partly why we have so many badly dressed women. A little trick: the most believable you can admire yourself in the photographs. Especially the ones made by accident when you're not posing. Mythical plus a million kilos is good, but not in this case. If you have a big fifth point in the photos, you have a big one. Is it true.

This is what well-chosen skinny jeans of the correct length look like.

And, finally, a selection of "shot" options. You don't need to do this:

Update: About the accordion in the last photo. The accordion makes logs even from the most elegant legs, this time. I wrote about what skinny jeans should show narrow bare graceful ankles. I highlighted it. Has anyone read? Do you see ankles in this photo at all? I do not see.

And the last argument - when you wear short pants, a wrinkled suit and jeans that do not fit you either in length or width and create accordions - from the outside, this characterizes you as a person in the highest degree careless and unassuming in life. It is unlikely that your style is intended to demonstrate this.

By the way, many did not notice that the harmonicas at the bottom are also attached to the old woman's folds at the knee, which strongly resemble slipping Soviet tights.

Therefore, an accordion is wrong.

Next in line is a tutorial specifically on jeans, men's trousers and high society fashion.

How long should a man's pants 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 trousers. 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.

Size chart of men's trousers (pants)

• 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.

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.

Pants are a very popular piece of clothing and every woman usually has several different styles of trousers in her wardrobe. Undoubtedly, well-fitting trousers are able to create the right proportions, emphasize the elegance of forms or hide figure flaws. However, have you ever thought that the right trouser length is just as important as a good fit? But that's exactly what it is. So how long should the pants be?

Too short or too long trousers can break the proportions and completely change the look of the trousers. And we are talking about insignificant, it would seem, 2-3 cm in length.

The standard statement that the length of the trousers should reach the middle of the heel is true only for classic women's trousers. But in fashion today, in addition to classic trousers, there are cropped trousers of various styles, and wide maxi length trousers. So how long should pants be?

To make it easier for you to determine the length of the trousers for each particular model, we suggest that you use the table, which contains the most popular styles of trousers, indicating their lengths.

Rice. 1. Table of pants lengths

IMPORTANT! The trouser length table is given for a height of about 170 cm. If you have a different height, the length of the trousers must be adjusted!

The gradation of the lengths of the trousers presented in the table is shown in the figures below. Such a visual demonstration will help you better understand the correspondence of a certain style of trousers to their length. Use it as a guide when choosing and adjusting the lengths of your pieces.

Rice. 1. Lengths of shorts, capris and cropped trousers

When bending trousers, be sure to consider what shoes you will wear these or those trousers with. And if everything is more or less clear with cropped trousers or shorts - a change in length will not occur, even if you put on shoes on a high platform, then with long trousers everything is different. The presence of a high heel or platform lengthens the legs, while the length of the trousers is visually shortened. To avoid mistakes when determining the length of trousers, it is important to follow 3 simple rules.

Rule One- before cutting the fabric, it is necessary to decant - that is, (WTO) fabrics to prevent shrinkage during sewing and wearing.

Rule Two- when cutting, hem allowances along the bottom of long trousers should be made a little wider - 5 cm. Then, in case of a lack of length, you can compensate for the missing centimeters by reducing the hem allowance to 3-4 cm. And as a rule, it is these one- two centimeters is often not enough.

Rule Three- try on to determine the final length of the trousers in the shoes with which you plan to wear the product.

Rice. 2. Lengths of standard and long trousers

Next time we will tell you about the different ways to hem your trousers. Sew beautiful things and wear them with pleasure!

A new book by Anastasia Korfiati "Pants from A to Z" has been released with patterns for 5 sizes in full size:

In general, the length of jeans is calculated along the inner seam to the ankle (traditionally in inches).

But it all depends on the style that you adhere to and the style of jeans. If these are jeans, trousers, wide jeans, then the middle of the heel for women (maybe lower) and men (meaning classic men's shoes).

If these are classic jeans that you are going to wear with sneakers and sneakers, then the length of the jeans should be such that when you sit down, the jeans do not rise too high (the effect of open toes or bare legs).

But personally, I like wide leg pants, both on men and women. Unfortunately, more often you meet people in short pants that look small. This happens if you take classic jeans, but straight to the ankle.

If these are fashionable skinny jeans, but this will obviously be ankle-length or, as they say, butt-toe shoes. Moreover, narrowed ones are now worn by both women and men.

In addition, which season is fashionable to roll up jeans. And there already the length and style should be such as to allow you to make one or two bends.

1) with classic men's shoes 2 and 3) fashionable variations on the theme

But these are too long. See the ugly curve on the leg below?



Perfect length for skinny jeans



And here is how they suggest wearing wide and classic jeans. The length as such is not important here.



Wide jeans, both on girls and boys, like this. Straight to the floor.



All of the above is purely my personal opinion) Options are possible, since the boundaries of what is acceptable in the length of jeans that season are blurred.

Jeans must be a few centimeters longer than the leg and a small crease at the ankle is an indispensable indicator of jeans.

In addition, this type of trousers is superimposed on shoes and even after that they should have a visible crease.



Jeans are not a classic suit, so they can have different lengths. The best option (for women): if you look at the back, then the length of the legs should end at the place where the heel begins.

If the jeans are tight around the shin (an option for girls and young women), then various options are possible: a shortened length, an elongated length (worn with folds), and you can also simply tuck it out.

For men, the most suitable option is if the jeans form one fold in front (above sneakers or shoes).

The length of women's denim trousers is determined by the model. Tight jeans should reach to the protruding bone on the leg, that is, to the ankle. If these are wide trousers, then they should cover the heel to the middle.

Women's denim pants have their own fashion. For example, boyfriend jeans are ankle-length, albeit wide.



Men's trousers should cover the shoes, but not reach the ground for a couple of centimeters and form no more than one fold in front.

Ideally, trousers should not loiter on the ground, but short ones also look funny.



I like jeans that are long, allowing them to tear at the very bottom. I don’t know why, but I don’t like ankle-length jeans, although it is fashionable. I also don’t like jeans below the ankle, but jeans that can really tear at the very bottom, yes 🙂 Only those, and only loose enough so that the body breathes and does not strain my genitals ... I don’t understand young people who are tight jeans their balls to such an extent that oh it was visible for a kilometer. It's better to drive with sweatshirts than with jeans that are 2-4 sizes smaller. Because of my taste, my ass is not like two apples 😀 Loose style, with torn ends where the ass and genitals are not visible.

It all depends on the fashion. Today, women's skinny trousers are worn long so that beautiful folds form at the ankles and above. If this is a classic straight jeans - for men they should be just below the beginning of the heel, but for women they should reach the middle of the heel.

The length of women's jeans should reach the middle of the heel, but if the jeans model is wide, then it is necessary that the length covers the heel, if the girl has a sporty look for shoes (sneakers or sneakers), then the leg length should be 2 cm above the sole.



The length of men's jeans should be to the bottom in an accordion (skinny jeans) or straight and the length is allowed to the beginning of the foot (ankle), and now tucking jeans from the bottom is also in fashion.



Now the fashion for skinny women's jeans and straight for men's models. If we are talking about men's, then jeans should not fold over shoes, they should not jump when a man sits down. This is about 5-6 centimeters should go to the folds at the bottom. As for women, there are not many options here. Jeans, if they stretch well, then the ankle length will do, if it’s bad, then you need to throw on 2-3 centimeters.





Men's jeans are in vogue with a slight overlay on shoes. The length is considered optimal. But if skinny jeans, for example, then fashionistas wear them rolled up and full length. As for women, everything is more interesting here). The lengths of 7/8 and 3/4 are still relevant, classics. It is important to consider the style. So fashionable boyfriend jeans can be safely worn with an overlay on shoes, you can roll them up in two layers. The same goes for chino jeans.

Fashion does not dictate the length of your pants. Everyone decides for himself. Wear jeans in a way that makes you look nice and comfortable.



How many people - so many opinions. Fashion is a funny thing. For me, the acceptable length of jeans for men and women is the same - in a standing position - it's two - a maximum of three fingers from the ankle bone. On the male leg, when bending the leg at the knee, the jeans should not rise above this bone, in women's jeans, the trousers should be slightly on the shoes and, when bent at the knee, be below the bone. Here is another opinion of a fashion consultant:

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.
