Should I cuff these pants - help me decide, please!

[acecow]

I've two new chinos from BB in the Milano cut pictured below:

I can't decide if I want to add cuffs to them or not. Please decide for me. Thanks!

Of course. But the height of cuffs is not a universal number despite what some here want you to believe. It depends on your height and proportions. 2" cuffs look oversized and out of proportion on a 5' guy but OK on a 6'4" one. That said, 1" is too small for most, except for very short guys.

Well, I'm 5'10" with an average slim body-type.

Same height, but i have a sexy body. Do 2".

i have the exact same chino on the right and i opted for no break and no cuff. look great for loafers. its a nice casual pant so i wanted to minimize the amount of lines. cuff them and we can compare looks

Cuff is too much. Those pants look their best with no cuff and no break. GREAT casual pants.

Is that a challenge?

Pack of heathens around here - always cuff chinos (and all pants for that matter). Instead of the 2", you might go for the classic 1.75", which is substantial without drawing too much attention - and perfect for someone who's 6".

I have the red ones with no break and no cuff. They are good for casual.

Alrighty then, I'll cuff the red ones for sure. A challenge it is! (please, inform Spoo about this, rules are up to him as far as I'm concerned)
I'll need time, because my tailor is sloooooooow. I still haven't gotten back the pants I left him 2 weeks ago.

Another vote for 1.75'' cuffs. depending on your average/usual inseam length, you may want to undo the factory hem on those and throw em in a wash/dry to get the shrink out and make sure there's enough fabric for cuffs before handing them over to your tailor.

Ditto, I am 5' 11", so 2" cuffs look slightly too large and anything under 1.5" looks hipster—1.75" cuffs, fo' show! *sprinkles 1.75" cuffs in the air
