- What's up guys I'm Brian Sacawa, you're watching He Spoke Style. And today we're talking
all about pant lengths. (upbeat music) So I wanna start by addressing
the biggest question when it comes to pant length,
and that is what is right? So when it comes to men's style, and especially details like this, I always feel like there's
this desire to know the rules, what is perfect or what is
the right way to do something. And yes, there are some
rules that govern men style, but I'm here to tell you
that you should treat those rules merely as
guidelines and that there really is no perfect one size fits
all way to do something or answer to any of those questions. What it really comes
down to is two things. Your personal style and your body type. So having said that let's take a look at the four most common pant
lengths, types of breaks and which one might be the best
fit for your personal style. Up first is no break. Now this is the most
modern fashion forward and aggressive length for your pants. This is a style for skinnier guys. This is a style that
actually looks really good on shorter guys and
this is a style for guys who are very confident in
their own personal style. Now one very important thing
you have to pay attention to if you're gonna wear
your pants with no break is that in order for them
to look proportionate, the leg needs to be tapered. If you don't taper the leg,
it's going to look like your pants are just too short, and a good leg opening I would say again, it depends on your body
type to some degree. It is around seven to
seven and a half inches. Now I personally gravitate
towards a no break look because I like the clean line it creates as the fabric drapes down to my shoe. The second length we're taking a look at is the slight break. If no break and having a more tapered leg is a little too fashion forward for you but you still wanna be a bit contemporary, a slight break is the way to go. Now with a slight break,
you're still going to want to taper the pants and
this tends to look best with a plain bottom trouser, so no cuff and with the hemline being tapered, so that the back hangs a
little lower than the front which should just kiss
the top of your shoe. Now this is a great look if
you really care about tailoring and want to look up to
date, but not trendy. Next up is the medium break. Now this is the most conservative, middle of the road pant length. This is for the regular guy who's serious about clothing that fits right for the more conservative businessman. Also if you're carrying
around a few extra pounds and basically if you
do not feel comfortable with a more modern approach to tailoring or don't necessarily want to call attention to your style choices. If you fit into one of those categories, going with a medium break is
the perfect option for you. Finally, we have the full break. Now this is a particular kind of look and your pants need to be wider, if you're going to wear them this length. This is a style that is typically thought of as something for an older man. You see it a lot on guys who like to dress in a more vintage style and it actually is a really good option for
heavier set guys as well. Now I am none of those things, and you may be wondering why I have a pair of pants with a full break. So these pants are from my
Edward Sexton bespoke suit, and although as I don't normally
wear my pants this length, I think, if you're gonna do bespoke from a legendary bespoke tailor, that you really should always
choose the house style. You know, why go to a tailor
like that and have him make you a suit if you're not going to embrace some of the details and nuances
of what they're known for. And to be honest, I wasn't expecting to like the pants this long, but I really do love how
elegantly the fabric falls and how long it makes my leg look. So those are the four pant
lengths that you'll most commonly see, and a little
bit about which one looks best or is the best fit for
certain kinds of people. Now remember there is no right or wrong when it comes to the length of your pants, but you really need to
consider your personal style, your body type and honestly,
your confidence level if you're going with no
break or a slight break. As always, leave your comments below and let me know which videos you'd like to see in the future. Please consider giving this
