A properly sized thing sits comfortably and looks beautiful, while jeans that are too small are mercilessly tight, and excessively large ones dangle and gather in unsympathetic “bags”.

We select the size of men's jeans correctly

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

1. 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, the length is "Length"), but the Inseam designation is also found;
2. 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, 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 warned - this is not the 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 a shopping center and the following table will help you here:

Size chart of men's jeans and their corresponding body parameters

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 fit you at the waist (however, for overweight men this rule may not apply, you will have to try on jeans).

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:

• in the case of 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!

Classic pants

1. If you find it difficult to choose the length of the trousers, take trousers with a small pleat at the bottom, so that the heel of the shoes is half closed.
2. If you squat down and feel too tight / wide - this is not your size.
3. If you can not find the size, then look for another manufacturer. The pattern and cut are different for everyone. You may be lucky with another fashion designer.
4. If possible, avoid folds in the belt, they make people unnecessarily full.

The length of the trousers depends on their width. The wider the trousers, the longer they should be. The width of the classic trousers at the bottom is 2/3 of the length of the shoe, i.e. one third of the shoe should be visible. For such trousers, the length at the back can reach half the height of the heel or cover the heel by 2/3. In front, the trousers should lie on the shoe and form one hall. If the trousers are without cuffs, then the bottom line has a bevel: the trousers are slightly longer in the back than in the front. If the trousers are cuffed, then the bottom of the trousers should be straight (parallel to the floor). The width of the cuffs in trousers is from 3 to 5 cm.

Wrong length!

1. The length of the trouser leg should slightly cover the boot, ideally it should reach the middle of the boot. Behind, it should be up to the middle of the heel.
2. Pants that go down over shoes should not form more than one fold.
3. Pants should be of such length that socks do not peek out. But when a man sits down, socks are visible anyway. Therefore, there is a separate rule about them: they must be matched to match the trousers and be of such length that bare legs are not visible - this is bad manners.

Chinos, Khakis & Corduroys

More informal trousers, such as chinos, khakis, or corduroys, should be a bit more form-fitting than dress pants. In addition, they can be worn 3-4 centimeters below the waist. However, it is worth paying attention to this point. If you wear chinos to work and match the Business casual or Smart casual style, then the length and width of the trousers should be closer to the classic style. If you choose a casual style, then you can choose narrower and shorter trousers, even slightly opening the ankle. Or vice versa, wider and longer, so that a fold forms from below.

1. When choosing the length of trousers, you should proceed from the dress code. The more the pleat at the bottom, the more informal the dress code.
2. Pants should be tight-fitting, so don't be alarmed if your pants look a little tight when you squat. This is fine.
3. Don't worry if your pockets protrude a little while squatting. This is fine with chinos, khakis, or corduroys.
4. Avoid creases at the waist, the two-finger rule is also relevant here.

Jeans

Perhaps the most informal of all pants (do not take shorts into account). There are many options for how jeans should fit correctly. Basically, jeans are worn even lower than chinos. On most people, jeans that are slightly tapered to the bottom look good. They should be slightly tight if we are talking about fashion and beauty. To be free if we are talking about comfort.

1) To choose the right men's trousers, you need to walk at least a couple of steps after trying them on. They should be as comfortable as possible. It is believed that two fingers can be placed in the belt of "comfortable" jeans. Usually, after you have walked, it is easier to understand whether the trousers are “yours” or not.

2) An important nuance - trousers should be kept at the waist, and not at the hips. This is not just a tribute to the classics or fashion, but an aid in the visual correction of the figure. By nature, the male belly is somewhat convex, and just the trousers gently fit it and hide this small flaw. If the trousers hang on the hips, the emphasis will fall just on the stomach.

3) If classic trousers have pockets, then make sure that they do not bulge, as this deprives the image of elegance and evokes an association with a boy who stuffed anything into his pockets. In general, trouser pockets are intended only for keys or a purse. For everything else, there is a briefcase or some other bag.

4) It is also worth paying attention to the physique of a man in order to emphasize his dignity and gracefully hide figure flaws. For example, straight trousers without arrows and with wide legs are more suitable for a full man, and trousers with cuffs and pleats at the waist to help hide excessive thinness are more suitable for a thin tall man.

5) Do not forget that the trousers themselves will not hold, and you will need a belt or braces. The classic option is, of course, a belt. For him, usually 6 loops are made on trousers. If there are fewer loops, the trousers may fit a little worse. The color of the belt should match the color of the shoes, and also should not contrast strongly with the color of the trousers. The more modest the belt looks, the better, of course. For extravagance, you can wear suspenders, but do not forget that you need to choose one thing. Wearing both at the same time is a sign of terrible taste. By the way, the color of the suspenders should match the color of the tie (or as close as possible in tone)

6) Since trousers become unusable much faster than jackets, it’s worth buying them together, but it’s better to take two pairs of trousers with one jacket. It is not necessary that the trousers and jacket be the same color. In this regard, you can experiment nicely, but you should not get carried away so as not to look vulgar.

Watch an interesting video about trousers:

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 full 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.

Video "Correct length of tight pants"

If we consider the men's wardrobe, then with full confidence we can say that one of its basic elements will be trousers. Despite this, many men do not always know how to choose the right piece of clothing. One of the main problems faced when making a purchase is the question of how long trousers should be for men.

Rules for choosing dress pants

Pants of this cut are one of the most common and sought after. This model suggests that they sit above the hips, just below the navel.

The width of the product must be correctly selected. It is unacceptable if the trousers:

• too tight figure;
• hang in some places.

In no case should the pockets of the product attract attention to themselves by protruding ugly.

The classic version involves the presence of arrows, which must be perfectly even.

The model should not restrict movement.

The influence of a man's height on the choice of trousers

Of course, first of all, height affects what the length of trousers for men should be, and the choice of cut also depends on it.

Men of short stature need to look at models with a straight cut without folds at the bottom. Such a product will not weigh down the appearance.

Owners of very tall growth should choose models with cuffs and or pleats. They visually reduce growth.

How to choose the right size

Many are interested not only in what the length should be, but also in how to correctly determine the size.

In order not to make a mistake, you must follow the following recommendations:

1. You need to try on trousers under the T-shirt and shirt with which they are supposed to be worn. The distance between the product in the buttoned state and the body must be at least 4 centimeters. If it is smaller, the product will press, as it is too narrow. If the free space is too large, then even tightening the belt will not save the situation, as ugly gathers will be visible on the belt.
2. There should be no folds on the belt, as they visually make them fuller.
3. After trying on the product, you need to do a few squats. If there is stiffness in movements, then you need to buy pants of a larger size.
4. There are situations when the product of the pants restricts movement a little, and the product is already too large for a size larger. In this situation, it is necessary to try on the next model or a product from another manufacturer. Cut and patterns for different fashion designers usually differ

What should be the length of trousers for men

Even if the trousers fit perfectly and meet all the requirements of style, the wrong length of the product can ruin the look.

How long should men's trousers be, the answer is quite simple: reach the middle of the boot. The maximum length is up to the heel. In front, the product will close the laces and form a slight fold. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the fold is not too large. If there are several of them, this is a sure sign that the product needs to be shortened.

However, there are cases when, even with a correctly selected length, there are several folds - this is an option when the fabric of the product is very thin. Therefore, if it is necessary for the product to look strict, in accordance with the classical rules, it is necessary to buy trousers made of dense fabrics.

Tight pants

If the product is chosen for everyday life, and the dress code at the place of work allows you to move away from the classic version, the question arises of what length men should have.

Products in the style of "neoclassic" and "casual" are slightly narrowed. Their length will be less than in the classic version. It should allow you to see the top of the shoe. The best option for shoes in this case are shoes with laces or "oxfords". The lacing should be visible. This image is very relevant in recent times. It is classified as European style.

Cropped pants options

The main task that designers set for themselves when creating shortened models is to sew trousers that will have clear lines, but at the same time open shoes.

The length of the product in this case comes only to the ankle. It should be remembered that this option will not be appropriate on wide models.

Pants with rolled cuffs

This product is a kind of universal option, since its length, if necessary, can vary depending on the situation.

Of course, this option is not suitable for places with a strict dress code, but it is a great solution for a corporate party or outdoor events.

When wrapping trousers, it is necessary to take into account the height of the shoe, its massiveness and style. If the shoes are high, then the gap between it and the trousers should be minimal. A wide gap is acceptable with light summer models.

If loafers, sandals or moccasins act as shoes, then the length of the trousers should reach the ankle.

Buy or sew

Buying trousers or sewing them to order depends on the financial situation.

A custom-made product will fit perfectly, as it is made to exact measurements. At the same time, the question of what should be the length of trousers for men will disappear by itself, since the masters who are engaged in tailoring are well aware in this area. The disadvantage of this method of purchasing trousers is the high price.

A product bought in a store will cost an order of magnitude cheaper, but finding a model that will fit like a glove is quite difficult to find. Do not hope that you will not need to contact a sewing studio. The length of the product initially comes standard, taking into account the width parameters. Therefore, most likely, you will have to remove extra centimeters.

What should be the length of trousers for men: photo

Men's clothing often does not have the same rich color scheme that is present in women's outfits, so here a lot of attention is paid to various details.

When choosing clothes, including trousers, men should take into account every little thing, not to mention such important things as the size and length of trousers for men.

Just as the wrong length of trousers can spoil the appearance of a man, so the right one can emphasize the dignity of the figure and hide the existing shortcomings.

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:
