The Perfect Fit: Pants
Get into a perfectly fitting pair—one leg at a time—with our simple three-step guide to a flawless pants fit.
The Seat
Correct fit
The back of your pants should be a smooth drape over the shape of your rear end.
What to avoid
If it is too tight, the fit will create horizontal wrinkles just under your rear. Too loose, and you'll get U-shaped sags on the backs of the thighs.

The Length
Correct fit
For a classic style, your pants should have only one break at the hem. Or, take them to just the top of the shoe, without a break, for a more modern look.
Too short
Too long
Correct fit

What to avoid
Too long of a pants length will result in a messy hem. Too short, and the whole ankle becomes visible.
When Worn with Boots
When styling pants with boots, the hem should reach the top of the boot with only one break. Skip the break and let them fall straight for a more modern look.
