Slip into a pair of pants that fit perfectly — with our simple three-step guide to a flawless fit.
The butt
Correct
Correct fit
The back of your pants should drape smoothly over the shape of your butt.
Too tight
Too wide
What to avoid
If they are too tight, you will get horizontal wrinkles just below your butt. If they are too loose, you will get U-shaped sags at the back of your thighs.
The length
Correct
Correct fit
For a classic style, your pants should have a single pleat at the hem. Or, for a more modern look, they should be worn just above the top of the shoe, with no pleat.
Too short
Too long
What to avoid
Pants that are too long will result in a messy hemline. Pants that are too short will expose your entire ankle.
When worn with boots
Correct
When styling pants to wear with boots, the hem should reach the top of the boots with a single pleat. Avoid the pleat and let them fall straight down for a more modern look.
