The right pants length

Life - so many men say - is too short to waste it with hours of shopping. Clothes shopping groups want to be targeted and not as an end in themselves. Okay, I'll do it the same way. But: When buying trousers, too many men save time in the wrong place by putting on trousers that sit neatly on the hips ("yeah, fits, I'll take goodbye!"), But otherwise they are like life itself: too short.

Here is a look at the evening TV talk round actually teach: Even the most weighty redo argument of the suit carrier (typical cases: Hans-Dietrich Genscher / Marcel Reich-Ranicki: 0)) somehow loses authority, if the camera while a trouser leg in Capri Length focused.

But now to the short sense of the long speech. The basic rule for optimal pants length is: The hem of the pant leg should be about 0.5 to 1.0 cm above the upper heel of the shoe - while standing, of course;).
Pragmatically applies in the shop (where you (s) for the reasons mentioned not to every trouser tried his shoes again): ... 0.5 to 1.0 cm above the floor.
As a supplementary test in the purchase selection, the talk show Old Masters pose is recommended: Take a seat on a chair and hit one leg over the other. If the hem pulls over the ankle, the pants are too short.
