      If your pants are quality, they are probably heavy enough to not flop around on the top of your shoe. Most of the time someone's pants are flopping around on the top of their shoe it's because the pants are hemmed too short.

      But if you like a cuff, go for it. It makes you look shorter, but you can handle it. Also, quit trying to pretend you didn't try to buy a flat-front suit from Jos A. Banks, and ended up settling for single pleated.

        Another question. Pocket or no pocket on dress shirts? I say no pocket but I really don't care much.

          Are no socks the only way to go when wearing some top siders? I want to return.

            It doesn't matter if your pants are quality, the ratio of fabric is still the same. Besides, what would you know about it? You don't even have any pleated pants or pants with cuffs.

            I admit, I looked at suits with flat front pants. I don't have an issue with them. I would just never wear pleated pants with no cuff. That would look horrible. Believe me, I know - for my very first suit in high school (before I knew the rules) I got no cuffs and pleats. It was a major embarrassment.

            Besides, pleated pants have their place in the world. Not everyone has the same body type. Pleats provide a more "roomy" fit for those who need it. It Forcing yourself into ill-fitting flat fronts doesn't make any sense if they are not flattering.

              Toss up. Despite the fusnik manifesto, I don't see any problem with a pocket.

              Double pockets are an issue, of course.

                Please make skinny people look fat and fat people look fatter. So you are correct that they have their place in this world. That place is making people look heavier than they really are.

                Also, I've never said I don't have any pleated or cuffed pants. I've only said that I don't prefer them.

                Finally, the fact that you are and were embarrassed about how you looked in high school comes as no surprise to anyone on this board.

                  I enjoy the extra room in the crotch area.

                      How about with Vans? I tried them on the other day with ankle socks and shorts and they looked pretty stupid. I'm guessing no socks is the way to go???

                        Vans can go either way.

                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
