Suit trousers for men

Whether with jacket or without, suit trousers are a timeless piece of clothing for men. An elegant two-piece suit with shirt and tie is impressive in every meeting. In your free time you can also wear slacks on their own. High-quality materials and the iconic crease shape the look of this basic. At Afound you can get high quality suit trousers at outlet prices. We tell you how to find the right trousers.

Buy suit trousers separately

Why buy the suit trousers separately when there are also complete suits? Off-the-rail two-piece suits come in short, regular and long sizes. However, these measurements do not fit many body types perfectly. This is the case, for example, for very athletic figures. Maybe you have muscular shoulders and a broad back but very slender legs. Here it makes sense to buy suit trousers and jacket separately. This way you will find the perfectly fitting suit. 

The right size

During the fitting, there is often uncertainty as to whether the suit trousers will fit well. The cuts often differ more than expected. With the following tips you will find the right size! 

The waist size

Suit trousers should sit just above the hips. They fit when the waistband is snug without stretching or sticking out. You can still adjust the size minimally with a belt. But if the waistband is clearly too wide, the trousers will wrinkle. 

Buttocks and legs 

The trousers should not be too tight over the buttocks that the side pockets become distorted. Regular-fit suit trousers are cut slightly tapered at the leg. They should not stick to the thigh, but fall loosely. Skinny-fit and slim-fit suits may well be fitted to the leg. Not so tight, though, that the fabric ripples down the thigh. This is a clear sign that you need the trousers one size larger.

The right length

There are two tools to find out if your suit pants are the right length: 1. Suit shoes and 2. A chair. You should have both at hand during the fitting! Take into account that there are differences depending on the cut of the trousers. A classic, wider cut leg may be slightly longer than a body-hugging leg with a narrow hem. Trousers with a larger foot width ideally end with the hem at the top of the shoe heel. Narrow trousers end a little higher, about the height of the heel cap of the shoe. 

When standing up, does the length fit already? Then comes the sitting test: sit on a chair and cross one leg over the other. If the hemline is pulled over the ankle, the pants are too short. Skinny models, which intentionally end above the ankle, are a special case.

Find the perfect suit trousers 

Suit trousers are versatile pieces of clothing. Thanks to high-quality materials they impress both at work and in leisure time. It's important that the trousers fit well. Otherwise, the look leans towards a fashion faux pas. When you order your new suit trousers from Afound, you can try them on in the comfort of your own home.

FAQs

How do I hang up a pair of suit trousers?

There are two types of trouser hangers that are suitable for suit trousers. Some have a cross brace at the bottom. You fold the trousers along the crease and then hang them in the middle over the crossbar. On other hangers you fasten the trousers with clips. They're rubber-covered so they don't leave folding marks. To do this, fold the trousers along the crease as well. Then you fold them in at the waistband along the front and back seams a few inches and pin them down. 

What to do if the suit trousers are too long?

Many factors determine whether a pair of suit trousers fits perfectly. If you like everything about the waistband, buttocks and leg shape, a slightly too long leg doesn't have to stop you from buying. You can't just turn up a pair of suit pants like chinos, though. Have them professionally shortened at a tailor shop. To do this, the liner tape from the inner hem of the foot is removed and the leg is shortened to the right length. Then the liner tape is reattached at the appropriate place and the hem is tacked from the inside. Shortening usually costs only a few EUR. 

How do I clean my suit trousers?

Suit trousers should go to the dry cleaner.  They would shrink or lose their shape in the washing machine. Professional cleaning is usually not necessary after each wearing. Instead, air out your suit well after wearing it. Hang the trousers on a hanger in a well-ventilated place before returning them to the wardrobe.
