# 3 Man's "must have" Dress Pants

Dress Pants/Trousers are every man's "must have"

Although the top brands are all favoring flat-front pants this year, it's still not a classic, and not everyone can wear it. Men with big thigh, and big belly do not look attractive in them.
Flat front comes and goes but pleats are always a classic, a single-pleat is most common.

Trend-setters and fashion designers can't seem to make their minds up on the subject of pleats. One year they'll be in, and the next year they'll be declared dead forever, only to return a few seasons later. Understanding what pleats are and what they do for a garment is more useful than knowing whether the top brands are favoring them this year -- the fashion may come and go, but the actual function of pleats doesn't change and never goes out of style.

A single fold on each side of the trousers is the most common style, but double pleats on each side will add more flexibility, making it ideal for men with wider legs. Pleats are also another helpful judge of fit -- pleated trousers are too tight in the thigh if the folds "open" when standing straight. They should only flex and widen when the wearer sits or stretches his leg outMost dress pants have a small band around each ankle called "cuffs." Trouser cuffs are not a necessary embellishment, but, like trouser pleats, they are often the best-looking option for most men.

Trouser cuffs help add a bit of extra weight to the garment, which helps pull them straight at the bottom and keeps them from billowing about too much.

A well-fitted cuff should rest against the back of a man's shoe and drape just on top of the front of the shoe; a slightly-pointed "beak" where the pressed fold of the trouser rests on the shoe is a sign of a good fit. Cuffs also help to shorten the visual impression of a man's leg, helping the chest and face to stand out more. So shorter man should avoid them.

Dress pants come in different colors; the most basic and useful being black. This color fits all occasions and complements nearly any shirt paired with it.

Gray is a useful color to have if you already have a pair or two in black. With this two Classic color pants in your closet you're good to go. These two colors are the most versatile color in the world they can be worn with any color shirt, tie and sports coat.

Here is an idea more less how to measure pants; but it really depends on the man's height. I just wanted to post this because some man and woman have no idea on how to measure pants. The first # is the waist, the second # is the length of the legs. Got it?
