Too big and baggy, hips flaring, too long. Buy something in a slimmer cut, and have them hemmed shorter; a bit of break is acceptable but here there is too much.

Wohoo, veeeery big, you might get lost in them

RE the length, I usually go for above the heel which is what appears to be the case here. How does one obtain less of a break without going to high in the back?

If you alter the pant leg to stop at the top of the heel with a straight cuff or hem, you will have a full break (which is what you have with these pants). If you prefer less break, you can do two things:

1) Using a straight cuff/hem, move up the point at which the back of the pant hits your shoe; or
2) Instead of a straight hem/cuff, it can be altered in a way that the bottom front is slightly higher than the bottom back. _ vs / would be the extreme representation of this. I'm not a tailor, but there is definitely a limit to how much of an angle is physically possible. Also, the farther you stray from a straight hem/cuff, the more "off" it will look.

It seems to me you're likely used to having your pants altered to the top of the heel. If you're going for the "SF-approved" look, it's just not going to happen with a full break.

Break/no break aside, those pants just don't fit you well (especially from behind). It could have something to do with the way you're standing (I doubt you normally stand with locked knees). Take some time to look through a few of the pant fit critique threads to see how there shouldn't be so much excess fabric.

Pant fit is tricky. It's really a matter of trying on lots of pants until you find something that is close to ideal, then tweaking with alterations. If a pair of pants fits horribly to start, there's a limit to how good they'll look after alterations. In the short-term, your best bet is to find a brand that fits well after minor alterations and stick with that brand until you've had time to shop around for others that will work as well.

I wish to apply a well used Australian term here...

Crikey...

Pants are like a tent, were they designed for a sumo wrestler? You need much slimmer pants.

 

[Mandres]

they look like you bought a pair two sizes too large and had the waist taken in to get them to stay up. They don't fit you, at all.

Ugh. Everyone always wants to squeeze people into slim fit ******* pants.

You guys noted already that they flare out at the hips. They don't just do that on their own. It happens because that's where his hips are, and they're big hips. You put tighter pants on him and you're going to see the same issue, only worse.

OP: I think you should stick to pleated trousers to give you the room you need there. There are other issues at play here that are beyond my pay grade, but I would caution you against just "sizing down" or "ZOMG SLIM FIT!!!!eleventy!!!"

 

[Master-Classter]

these look like so-so MTM... amiright?

I suggest you stick with pleated pants to account for the hips/butt, and get in a taper but not too extreme.
the wide gap between the pockets makes your butt look wider, the hip flair + taper accentuates the hip width. all no-no's.

It looks like you should pull those pants up. Either take up the crotch, or wear them at your natural waist.

Tad too long and baggy in the seat beyond reasonable. Suggest hving the legs cut at a slanty if you prefer heel(ish) length at the back.

these make you look like you have a massive arse, something is not right about the seat. They almost look like you just need to pull them up. I think loose fitting drapey trousers like these can look good, but only if they sit high on the waist.
