My mysterious trousers

Hello!

I get this strange phenomenon when I wear no/quarter break trousers. Instead of laying flat against my calves, they stick to my shins. You can see how it looks in the picture on my right leg.

1. What could cause this? Is it how my body is constructed? This appears on all of my trousers that are of this length, regardless of which tailor who has hemmed them.

2. Should I worry about this (does it look wierd) or should I just accept it?

Thanks in advance for your input!

Forward hips is one of the causes, I believe. Whether or not to accept it is up to you and how much it bugs you.

Knees that hyper-extend could also be a cause, perhaps.

It might be less of an issue with heavier and/or less fitted pants.

That being said, the trousers pictured are too short.

Too short objectively or too short according to your taste?

Yes, it was a rhetorical question :p

Actually I think that my overextended knees are the culprit! I googled it and found a lot of clues, so Ill be joining a yoga class asap!

Thanks for the input!
