How to choose the right pants?

“There are several parameters to focus on when buying another pair of pants: fit, size, length. These should be the key parameters in your choice. Also take into account your height and weight. These parameters also influence what style of pants will suit you best.”
The right fit
The fit is the waistline in relation to the hips. It’s based on your body type. A high fit will suit those with a slim build. It will visually lengthen the legs and emphasize the waist. Medium fit is universal. It is applicable for almost any type of figure.
Low fit is when the belt line is located at the bones of the hips or below. It is suitable for slim build and short stature. However, it is important to remember that pants that are too low-slung will create an unpresentable appearance.
In any fit, the pants should not be tight around the waist. Leave enough room at the hips. Caution should be exercised when wearing styles that are too loose or tight. They can affect your overall appearance and comfort.
Length
The length of the pants is crucial for a flawless, elegant look. Ideally, the edge should touch the top of the shoes, creating a small gap between the fabric and the shoes. Avoid pants that are too long and form more than two pleats at the bottom. They will look especially sloppy on men of short stature.
Size
When buying another pair of pants, carefully study this indicator. Since the wrong size will spoil the whole image. With the help of a centimeter you need to determine the volume of the waist, the circumference of the hips, the length of the pant on the outer and inner edges. Then it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the size grid of the brand to select the right parameters. In different countries, the parameters will differ.
Height
Possessors of a slender figure and high height will fit almost any styles of casual pants. You can choose an oversize model with a comfortable length and fit.
If you have an average or low height, choose monochrome pants. Too narrow models will visually shorten the legs and violate the proportions of the figure.
For a dense physique the best choice will be pants of dark colors. It is better to avoid shapeless or too narrowed styles, as well as to give preference to dense fabric.
How should sit different models of pants?
Each style and style has its own rules for the fit of pants. It is worth considering and adhering to them to create an elegant style.
Classic pants
Classic straight pants are suitable for office and business events. They should not be too tight, but not baggy either.
