Finding a perfect fit for pants is a huge challenge and although most people look at the jacket, it's a more difficult garment to fit, getting pants to fit properly is very very difficult as well and often neglected.

To understand the proper fit of pants, we have to take a look of the components of trousers.

First, you have to look at your waistband. Basically, it's a strip of fabric around your midsection and traditionally, in the 30s, 20s, those were cut really high because the natural waist is a good point to have trousers so they stay up and it creates a clean, long leg line that is flattering because it makes you look taller. Ten, fifteen years ago, a waistband was typically about 1/2 - 2 inches wide. Recently, it has become very popular to have very wide waistbands so sometimes you can see 3, 3 1/2, sometimes even 4 inches of waistbands with buttoning points.

The next area is the front or the seat. So the seat is in the back, the front is in the front. it can be a tricky area if you have a bigger bum like I do.

the next thing to pay attention to is the so-called rise. The rise is measured from the front of your waistband to the back of your waistband going through your crotch. Now, a pair of pants that has a high rise has a longer measurement and a low rise has a shorter measurement.

One aspect of pants that depends on the current fashion is the fit. If you go back to the 20s, they had Oxford bags which are cut extremely wide, lots of volume, lots of fabric.

And now the big question, how should pants fit?

A classic pair of pants should never have any puckering, pulling, or wrinkling. A wrinkle that shows that something is too tight is usually in the shape of an X and so you can always tell "Oh, something is too tight here and needs to be let out." Of course, you can only do that if there's enough fabric to let the pants out. Back in the day, tailors would use heavier fabrics that draped really well and would create a clean, nice look. Today, most fabrics are very lightweight because most people assume that they are too hot.

The second hallmark of well-fitting pants are the pleats. If you have a single center pleat, it should go down all the way to your shoe in one straight sharp creased single line and it should just slightly open up on top.

Three, the line of the pants should be straight. there should be no breaks in the front or in the back except for the amount of break on top of your shoe in the front. N

The fourth thing I look at in pants is the knee area because if the crease hangs straight center in the front and in the back, you know you have a well-cut pair of pants. If it's slightly off to the side, to the outside or to the inside, you know an alterations tailor will have to make adjustments.

So how can you ensure you get pants that fit?

Overall, you may think this is a lot of things for such a simple garment and yes, our standards are quite high and personally, I would say that I only have two pairs of pants that I think fit perfectly for me so high standards are a good thing because there is always something you aspire to but don't be afraid and here are a few final tips that help you in getting pants that will fit well.

Do not buy goal pants because chances are, you won't get it in the shape you want at a point in time so the pants will never fit and stay in your closet.

Do not be afraid of pleats. Most men today think that pleats are outdated but in fact, you should just look at your body and if you have bigger thighs, a bigger seat, pleats are always more advantageous for you.

In the same vein, don't be afraid of cuffs or turn ups because they provide extra weight at the bottom of your pants.
