| Dos and Don’ts: Slacks Don’t Overload Your Pockets
A bulging wallet is one surefire way to ruin the look of a nice pair of slacks. Streamline your wallet and keys, and store your cell phone and excess change in a jacket pocket. Don’t Wear Pants Too Tight–Or Too Baggy
Leave a little something to the imagination. You should have enough room in the legs and crotch to feel comfortable and move easily. However, they shouldn’t be roomy enough to resemble parachute pants. Do Opt for Pleats to Disguise a Bigger Waistline
Pleats help pants drape better, offer more room, and are quite flattering. The trick is to make sure that they lay flat and don’t pull open. Do Wear Pants at Your Natural Waist
Translation: just below your belly button and above your hipbone. Dress pants should sit higher up than casual pants like jeans and khakis. Do Wear a Belt
Choose a nice leather belt with a slight gloss. Avoid matte or distressed belts with big buckles, which are more appropriate with casual pants. You may also opt for suspenders or braces if you’re wearing a suit. Don’t Dry Clean Too Often
Two or three times a year as needed should do the trick. Frequent dry cleaning causes fabric fatigue, shortening the lifespan of your slacks. A good option is to freshen them up by restoring the crease with a professional pressing. Do Pay Close Attention to the Proper Fit
When considering an item of tailored clothing, get measured by a professional. Remember to wear the right shoes and look straight ahead when being measured. Do Consult an Expert
