[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a way to wear brown shoes like that without having 2" of sock showing? DH is very tall and I think it just looks like we didn't tailor his pants well enough. We are getting 2 new suits custom made from a tailor this spring so that's why I'm asking. I had always tried to get his pants to come to the top of his sole in the back. He's 32.

I love brown shoes. I think they're stylish. Also, it's easier to fake cheap leather with black shoes than brown. [/quote]

Get the pants leg cut at an angle, longer in back and shorter in front. Tell the tailor you want a slight break, which would look best with flat fromt pants (no cuff). The back of the pant should come maybe an inch from the welt (the stitching where the leather upper meets the sole). Have him wear the shoes for the fitting and make sure it looks the way you want it. The Tom ford no-break look with the pants ending above the shoe is not a good one in my opinion. [/quote]

Thank you! This was helpful. [/quote]

Look at number two on this link. It will give a modern custom look, rather than an off the rack look. A good tailor will know how to do it and can keep the hem hidden well. Full and even half break look 90s baggy, and no break is trendy, may not last.
