\u201cProper\u201d pant length is matter of much discussion when it comes to the rules of style. Ultimately, however, the length of one\u2019s pants \u2013 or how much or little<\/em> break one\u2019s pants have \u2013 is a personal style choice and very much a matter of personal preference, aesthetics and body type.<\/p>

Here are four of the most common pant breaks and hemlines you\u2019re likely to see as well as some guidance on choosing what pant length is right for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Thom Browne\u2019s shrunken suit forever changed the face of men\u2019s dress pants. While the above-the-ankle style can only truly be pulled off by some, many guys feel comfortable with a \u201cno break\u201d hem, where the pant leg just kisses the top of the shoe.<\/p>

While the Thom Brown aesthetic makes no allowance for shaping the width of the pants down the leg, this style looks best with a well-defined taper. My personal preference is to have around a 7\u2033 leg opening at the bottom.<\/p>

What It Says About You:<\/strong> I\u2019m modern, hip, care deeply about precise tailoring and aspire to be a fashionable European gentleman.<\/p>

Looks Best On:<\/strong> slim dudes, short dudes, Italian guys, wannabe Italian guys, young bucks, the fashion set.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If \u201cno break\u201d and the requisite aggressively tapered leg is a little too fashion-forward for you but you still want to be a bit contemporary, the slight break is for you. This looks best without a cuff and with the back of the pant leg angled a little longer than the front.<\/p>

What It Says About You:<\/strong> I understand that fit is everything and I desire to be contemporary and up-to-date, but not<\/em> trendy.<\/p>

Looks Best On:<\/strong> pretty much everyone, slim (not cropped or skinny) trouser widths, the modern businessman.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This is an ideal look for those with a more conservative style, who don\u2019t want a tapered or slim trouser and want to go with a cuff.<\/p>

What It Says About You:<\/strong> I\u2019m serious about style and have a quality tailor with a conservative approach that I respect and embrace.<\/p>

Looks Best On:<\/strong> middle-aged guys, conservative businessmen, gentlemen carrying around a little extra weight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Full disclosure: ideally, to pull off this style and for it to look \u201cright,\u201d the pant leg needs to be wider than is pictured here. This is my widest pair of pants and I did my best to show what a full break might look like. In a perfect world, there is a decent amount of fabric pooling at the ankle, but it should look a bit more elegant than shown.<\/p>

What It Says About You:<\/strong> I\u2019m either older, wiser, heavier and stylistically conservative or<\/em> I live in my own private and perpetual Jazz Age Lawn Party.<\/p>

Looks Best On:<\/strong> older gentleman, heavier gentleman, wide-leg trousers, vintage\/throw-back dudes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  1. Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool.<\/li>
  2. Wrap a soft tape or string around your head to measure about 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch above your ear and about 3\/4 to an 1\u2033 inch above your brow line.<\/li>
  3. Mark the tape or your string, where it intersects, with your finger.<\/li>
  4. Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate).<\/li>
  5. If you\u2019re using a string, run it along side the ruler as many times as necessary to get a complete measurement.<\/li>
  6. MEASURE AGAIN! Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice.<\/li>
  7. Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
