DESIGN DETAILS / THE STYLE GUIDE
Trouser Details
Pleats, rise, adjusters and hems change the way a trouser looks and moves. Understand the options before deciding which belong in your wardrobe.

01 / THE FRONT
Flat Front or Pleated?
A flat front creates a quiet, uninterrupted line. Pleats introduce volume near the waist and can support a fuller drape through the upper leg. The depth and direction of a pleat change its effect.
Neither choice dictates a single level of formality. Consider the silhouette and the way the trouser moves when you sit.

Look at both options in the context of the full garment and the occasion.
02 / THE WAIST
Rise and Waistband
Rise is the distance between the crotch and the waistband. It affects where the trouser sits and how it relates to the jacket.
Belt loops and side adjusters offer different ways to refine the waist. Discuss the intended look and available construction with your consultant rather than assuming every treatment is offered.

03 / THE FINISH
Pockets, Opening and Hem
Pocket placement can keep the hip line quiet or add a deliberate detail. The leg opening influences the relationship between trouser and shoe.
A plain hem is restrained; a cuff adds visual weight near the ankle. Break describes how the finished hem meets the shoe, not a body measurement.
