NEAT
CHINO

The sweltering heat and the excitement of EURO 2024 aren't the only things heating up—there's also a hot debate over how to wear pants.

Whether you're pairing them with sneakers, leather shoes, or sandals, this one pair can effortlessly pull the whole look together. The silhouette, especially when you have your hands in your pockets, is unbeatable.

Wearing them high-waisted and neat is a classic choice, but letting them sit a bit lower on your hips can be equally stylish. Tucking in a shirt or T-shirt works just as well, with the perfect amount of taper stopping things from getting too casual.
Then there's the matter of the hem. While they're designed to have a floaty look, the right length is often a topic of debate. It used to feel restrictive, like there was only one correct way to wear them, but now it feels freeing to think that you can choose the length that suits you best.
The way you handle the hem is a subtle way to express your individuality. Whether it's a custom short length that just touches your shoes, a unique cropped style, a single break at the ankle, or even a raw edge, it's all about personal preference. When the moment feels right, you can always get a clean hem to refresh your look.

One more detail to consider: the width of the hem stitching. While 4cm is the typical choice, I secretly believe that 3.5cm is the perfect balance and my personal favorite. Though I advocate for wearing pants in whatever way you like, I still find myself meticulously pondering over the hem stitching width.
