How do you prefer trousers to be finished? Cuffed or uncuffed?

I do a 2 inch cuff every time, for no reason other than I prefer the way it looks to a smaller cuff or a plain hem. At this point, I feel kind of naked wearing plain hems outside of denim.

Very nice trouser fit and design, is it custom made? I want to try a pair of hollywood trousers.

To answer the question, lately, I'm going with a 1.5 inch (~4cm) cuff. I find it drapes slightly better and adds a little bulk while still keeping a slight taper.

I tried 4-5cm cuffs before, ended up getting them removed, for some reasons I just prefer the uninterrupted lines. Maybe because my legs are on the shorter side.

I like both looks, a plain hem and a cuffed one, in the latter case I prefer a 5cm (2inch) cuff.

"Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)" in the lead, really? What has this world come to?

Turn-ups on lighter trousers, but not on thick/heavy fabrics.

If cuffed, I prefer something like this.

Cuffed with pleats. Plain if flat front

Short guys, 5'8 over here, should go with plain hems. Cuffs make you look shorter. That was what I was told a long time ago.

I took a pair of cuffed pants that I bought on Ebay in the US into a Canadian tailor to be shortened. He said you must have bought these in the states because not many people prefer cuffs in Canada

What has the world come to? I like 2" cuffs. I think 1.5" is slinky without substance and looks very 80's. Just an opinion but I will say that I'm now having a number of new suits and pants tailored with plain hems. I like it now like Ive never in the past. I think my inspiration has lately been Brioni from past number seasons. Very elegant with slightly fuller legs and hem. This has added great variety to my closet and makes me happy. Just my dos centavos is all. But remember to do you. No one does it better!

This looks great! Slightly short with no break looks wonderful as a sporty look. Plus side if this shorter/cuffed look is it can be paired with nice sneakers or loafers and looks beautiful for a very personal style. When it comes to suits though, I'm not with the shirt skirt crowd that's surfaced over past 5 or more years. No bueno IMHO.

Cuffed 4cm

Always turn ups (no idea as to the measurements as I rely on the tailor or the shop), except for black tie and morning suit (no turn ups).
