How wide do you like your leg opening on dress trousers?

[Despos]

Don't have a definitive answer to this question but I like the opening to be enough to lay nicely on the top of the shoe with a slight break and a nice downward angle to the shoe heal. Hitting the top of the shoe looks right and elegant.
It has to look balanced with the knee circumference and have a good line/shape from top to hem. Nothing severe. The actual circumference changes with each client's proportions but within a narrow range.
Would rather have a comprehensible concept/point of view than a number.

I remember around 2005 seeing kids skateboarding on the lower east side in Manhattan wearing skinny jeans

I was like, WTF is this, it looks ridiculous, then a couple of years later it was everywhere

after 15 yrs of skinny pants, wide legs look so fresh and luxurious

The fad of skinny-leg trousers is incomprehensible to me. Every year I say, "This can't last another year," and every year I am proved wrong. I am stuck with some such trousers because that is all that is available these days. If you are wearing them over knee-high socks, then when you rise from a seated position, the trouser legs cling to your calves and refuse to settle down to your shoes. I have to wear ankle socks just so that my trouser bottoms don't get stuck four inches above my shoes.

You can still find very traditional cuts for a more classic tailored look at shops such as O'Connell's or J. Press.

Knee high socks are ******* bullshit. They are like turtlenecks for your legs.

Dont understand what you are saying. Turtlenecks are great and knee high socks are great.

 

[dieworkwear]

sleeves are also just turtlenecks for your arms

The sniper gloves look still ? virgin even if they wear slim pants

 

[Girardian]

Short guys with skinny legs are going to have a bounty of tailored suits choose from when the short coat / very slim ankle / high water tailoring goes out of style.

What’s the waist size, inseam, or shoe size?

This poll is stupid, since it has no reference to any other dimensions.

I’m 6’4” tall, with muscle on my legs, and wear size 13-14 shoes. Do you think any of that makes a difference?

 

[BomTrady]

It definitely makes a difference. However, all data, even data resulting from uncontrolled statistics, can be used in some sort of way. In any event, a 6 foot plus person is likely outside the confidence interval. This survey was probably intended as a fun exercise to prompt a light-hearted discussion. It would hardly result in scientifically reliable information.
