most definitely not. cuffs haven't been in style since the mid 90'sDio perdona tante cose per un’opera di misericordia

This was my response also. I went to a tailor today to have a suit made. He tried to convince me that it is not only acceptable but needed in a formal setting.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad AliComment

Only needed if you have pleats. Pleated pants look stupid without the cuff, IMO.Originally posted by CJF View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I still wear pants with pleats and cuffs. All of my suits have a single pleat and a cuff. That's just how I like my suits. Its not cutting edge fashion, but it won't gout out of style any time soon. Double pleats is a little dicey.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Flat front should never have cuffs, but pleated pants can be either cuffed or uncuffed. Personally, I tend to shy away from pleats and cuffs altogether, as i'm not a fan of either. In my opinion if you have pleats, adding cuffs is like adding a second wrong in an attempt to make right. However, all pleats are not created equal, so there are some exceptions where adding cuffs is acceptable.Originally posted by falafel View PostPrepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Wrong. Pleated pants have more fabric and of course demand a crease. You need the extra weight of the cuff at the bottom of the pant to balance the weight at the top. Otherwise that cuff-less pant leg gets dominated and flops around on top of your shoe.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different.
