Trouser hemming tips
A few tips help you get the length right.
Wear the right shoes
The length depends on your shoes, so wear the pair you will wear most.

Decide whether you want a slight break, no break or a turn-up.
Do not cut it yourself
Leave spare fabric in the hem in case you want to lengthen later.
