Pants That Ride Up

Lots of solutions for that one. First would be the pants length. There are

3 ways ( probably more) to establish where the hem crease should be. No Break : For the conservative. The bottom of the pants hits the shoe and the mid-heel with no crease or break. Make sure the pants length is not so short that one can see your socks when you walk. Single Break: This is the most common pants length. The golden rule is for the pants hems to finish with a single break (crease of fabric) at the front of the shoe. In the back, the hem should end where the heel meets the lower back of the shoe. Double Break: A double break is popular with the young, who like a "drapey" full pants leg and hem with deep folds on the shoe. (Great for hip-hop; bad for business.) Just remember that your pants should not drag the floor. Just for what it's worth, I checked to see the dress Ms Obama wore to the recent state dinner; noticed that both the presidents were wearing a pants hem length that had at least a double break. And one more thought - you can purchase socks that are 'dress' length. Not a 'dress' length at all, that only means the socks are longer, will end just below the knee and prevent a hairy-leg peep show. Hope something here was a bit of help. Polly
