Regardless of any rules that (hopefully dont) exist regarding pleats, I would not be caught dead in pleats. Unless you're a bigger guy who needs them because of your girth, I find them just awful looking.
Also, are flat front pants traditional or contemporary? I hope they are considered traditional because I need them to match my traditional side vents. I feel mixing contemporary with traditional is not right.
Frankly, I'm very slim hence I feel strongly I need flat fronts.
Plain front pants are not necessarily supposed to be uncuffed. An Italian tailor recently told me that that's an American rule of thumb that very few Italians would subscribe to. It's even falling out of favor among Americans. Therefore, do what you will and enjoy yourself.I know that ff pants are supposed to be uncuffed, but I think cuffed pants send out a professional look which I need being an attorney.
2" cuffs on everything i own except my jeans. Yes I spend a lot of time insisting when I need to break in a new tailor - except the old timers who just smile and nod then go to work!
