Long Pants
How Men Choose Pants to flatter your build
Copyright (c) 2008 Janine Giorgenti
Slim fit or relaxed fit, pleats or no pleats, cuffs or no cuffs? It can be overwhelming, but all those choices are actually a good thing.
Men come in all different shapes and sizes. Some are short, some long. Some are skinny, some large. The list goes on. So, with a selection of different cuts and styles in our dress pants is a good thing. Trying to find out suitable to you? Now, that's discouraging! But let me help.
Short
Flat front pants are more becoming than pleated pants on a man of your stature as they are less extensive and less fullness in the legs. Because you have a shorter length, you need to buy pants with a short or low rise with no cuffs. You should choose a trim cut pants with a shorter inseam.
Short and Thin
Flat front pants are more becoming than pleated pants on a man of your stature as they are less extensive and there is less fullness of the thigh to the ankles. Short rise or low rise pants are best for you. You should choose a trim-cut pants with a shorter inseam.
Short and heavy
Choose pants flat front, full cut and low-rise buildings are. It is difficult to off-the-rack pants that fit, so you probably need modifications or custom pants to find your needs.
High
By your height, you can wear every style pants, including regular cut, boot cut, flat front or pleated pants. You can wear cuffs or no cuffs. You need to buy a pair of trousers with a long rise. You should also choose pants with a longer inseam.
Lank
Because of your height, you should look in a trim cut or boot cut style. You can also wear various styles like flat front or pleated pants with or without handcuffs. Because you are thin, regular rise pants should work for you. You need to buy a pair of trousers with one leg extended.
Big and Tall
If you have a full stomach, we recommend flat front pants with a long rise in a full cut. If you have a flatter stomach, then you can wear flat front or pleated pants. Either way you have a long rise. You also need to buy pants with a long leg length.
Big Stomach
If you have a big belly, it's hard to keep your pants down runs. For this reason, we recommend a flat front, traditional cut style pants rather than a pleated pants style. You can choose to buy larger size pants fit your waist, but the session will be too large, or you can smaller size to buy the seat to fit, but then the waist will be too small.
Big Stomach, flat seat, Thin Thighs
If you have a big belly, it is difficult to keep your pants from sliding down. Because you flatter rear and thin thighs, you get too much dust in the seat and thighs. For this reason we recommend a flat front style pants that are trim cut, rather than pleated pants, pleated pants as exaggerating the problem by adding too much fabric for the seat and thigh.
Long torso / short legs
You may need a long rise pants with a shorter inseam. If you are short, then flat front pants with a traditional cut work best for you. Long Men can wear pleated pants or flat front.
Short Torso / Long Legs
You may need a shorter rise pants with a longer inseam. Low-rise, traditional cut low-rise, boot cut are your best options. If you are short, then the flat front pants work best for you. Tall men can wear pleated pants or flat front pants.
Smaller waist, handed back, Big Thighs
Pleated pants will give you more room in the thigh. For a long rise and full cut pants.
Conclusion
Whether you're short, tall, slim, stately, or somewhere in between, there is a style of men's dress pants which is good for you. If you have a difficult time finding the store-bought pants that fit into a cut and style, finding a good tailor and have them changed. Or, better yet, let your pants tailored. This is often the most cost effective solution (when the cost of the pants plus consider change fees) and you have a much wider selection of fabrics and styles to choose from than you would off-the-rack.

Where can I find pants in Chicago?
Everywhere I seem to have trousers of 32 inches or shorter. I need pants that are 33 or 34 in length. I am looking more for dress pants (comfortable ones) not the kind old lady.
