Where Pants Should Sit?

As a general rule, your trousers should sit just above your hips - the closer they are to this point the more flatteringly they will hang over your bum and flow down the leg. This is particularly true for those with wider hips – straight frames can get away with wearing their trousers a little lower.

Where should pants sit on your body?

But, as a general rule, jeans should sit on the hips, while chinos and suit pants should land just above the hip, which will allow you to tuck in your shirt without worrying about it popping out mid-meeting.

How should pants look sitting?

They shouldn't be too loose and baggy, nor skin tight. They must have the right circumference around your waist, seat, thigh, knee and ankle. Pleats should not gap. The most difficult part of the fit of pants is the back view when you do not wear a jacket.
