RESOURCES
What is good fit?
Good fit for any of your personal garments depends on four factors including comfort, appearance, design and fabric.
Comfort is the most important factor. If your garment does not feel good when you wear it, it will sit untouched in your closet regardless of how attractive it is. You should be able to walk, bend, reach and sit without feeling restricted and without straining any seams.
Your garment has a good appearance when all seams and darts fall in the proper places and it has a smooth look. There should be no pulls, wrinkles, sagging or baggy areas.
Design is also an important part of good fit. The design of the garment should fit your figure and suit your preferred clothing style. Minor design alterations can be made to adapt the design to your personal style.
Finally, fabric significantly affects the personal fit of your garment. Different fabrics hang and fit differently so carefully consider the garment fabric as well as look when choosing a garment. The feel, drape and thickness of the fabric all affect a garment's fit and are important considerations when deciding whether or not to purchase it.
Why are properly hemmed pants important?
Properly hemmed pants are a subtle, but important part of your overall appearance. This is true for all types of pants from formal to casual. Even old pants can be rejuvenated with a fresh hem!
Here are the benefits of nicely hemmed pants:
You'll appear refined and well put together
You'll feel more confident knowing that your pants look good from top to bottom
Your overall appearance will have a balanced look
You can alter your pants to the hem length you feel most comfortable with
You can avoid saggy legs over the top of your shoes
You'll extend the life of your pants by avoiding tattered, frayed, and dirty hems
