Isaia: Base V suit question

I recently bought a base V suit from Isaia and was wondering what opinions people had on whether it makes sense to cuff the pants or have them uncuffed. The ankle width is around 8.5 inches which is skinnier than I am used to. Most of my suits are more like Oxxford or HF. I thought about cuffing them since I've got fairly long legs as it goes, but it seems like it might not look right given that it's a fairly slim cut suit all around. Just curious if there is a rule of thumb for this sort of thing.... Thanks.

There is no rule other than that pleated should always be cuffed. I cuff all pants.

Do as you please with them. I have some that are plain and some that are cuffed. But then, I like the variety. Wear it in good health.

I bought an Isaia suit recently, with the narrow legs cuffs didn't seem to work especially with the ff pants.

thanks for the input, I think I'm going to go the "no cuff" route....
