- How long should my jeans be? Should I wear a belt? How short should my cropped pants be? Can I wear trousers with sneakers? Are skinny jeans still ok to wear? Should I take my pants to the tailor?
These are all common questions that people ask about various styles of pants. In today's video, I go over the most common mistakes people make when choosing pants to wear and how you can avoid these mistakes in the future.

Thanks Harry! I've decided the problem was pants altogether and so I've decided to just go outside in underwear now! Feels much more liberating!
🤣🤣🤣
Bro same why do people even wear pants? Just wear underwear or even boxers am i right?
HAHAHAHAHAHA 😭
Just wear skin, wtf.
😂😂
I think it's so interesting that style tips generally seen as advice for women - such as using the rule of thirds to elongate the legs - are becoming more common in men's fashion. Good stuff once again
Definitely! Thank you very much.
I've tried to remember this rule more recently and I think I just look weirder when I follow it. I'm 6'1" and pretty narrow. I think I need to be making my legs look shorter actually lol.
In the vintage community this is a basic tip also. Just look at the pants men wore from 19th century to 1960s, they all apply to the rule
Because women reject short men.
anyways STRAIGHT fit trousers are the most stylish i do t care what yall goofy say😎
I've been using the rule of thirds ever since i got into fashion because i can't stand how most tops go past my crotch and bunches up at my waist. Tucking in shirts and folding up chunky sweater hems has been my go to for years. Always appreciated the way you seperated your top from your bottoms and your pant hem from your footwear. Goated fashion sense.
I've never heard of rule of thirds until this video and it makes so much sense. Although I wear a ton of baggy tees, would you suggest any remedy for this? Would I cut the bottom of the baggy tees so I keep the boxy/long sleeve fit but the bottom half doesn't go down to a 50/50 look...?
edit: 7:46, he mentions flipping it round so is this mean you could wear the baggy tee with some shorts as it's now flipped around and the baggy tee is the bigger area? I guess so right?
@@f4llenstarr maybe a french tuck could work with longer pants?
my response to the rule of thirds segment is that it depends on the style and body proportions of the individual. all of the casual examples you showed, i personally preferred the images on the left. but for the "smarter" fits i think the rule of thirds is more suitable, no pun intended lol.
and some people really have short legs
I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one preferring the fits on the left hahaha
I think I'll take the rule of 3rds in consideration but probably as a suggestion rather than a _rule_
@@barrybarry3372 I think if you have longer legs the shirt should be a bit longer to keep the thirds proportions. The cloths by itself should give the ilusion of thirds not just use every shirt cropped.
@@barrybarry3372 like me lmaooooo
@@Zetsukun12 like i said. it's more suitable for dressier outfits. outfits like classic suit and tie... old school greaser all denim or denim and leather with a tucked in wife-beater,... the all black downtown clubber fit with the chelsea boots... shit like that.
Absolute class video, and by far the best explanation/visualization of the rule of thirds I've seen on youtube. Adding on to the concept of dressing to your body type, I'd love to see a video of why certain styles/aesthetics are visually pleasing as related to body proportions. The whole "short torso, long legs look good in a certain aesthetic compared to others" is something I struggle with understanding.
Thanks a lot and thanks for letting me know. I worried I went on too long or wasn’t clear enough so that makes me happy to hear that. That sounds like an interesting idea for sure
Thank you for explaining the rule of thirds so well. I noticed it when trying on outfits but didn’t understand it so I was going through my whole closet until I reached my look goal. Now I can save time. You are amazing
you explained this really well Harry. Im defo gonna be applying this more often when Im trying something on. keep up the great work as usual💯
Thanks a lot mate. Appreciate it you watching
The best tips for simple yet stylish dressing. Always keeping it simple and honest. I'm a skater, so similar to my style. My wardrobe has positively done a 180 since viewing these vids, and people have noticed! If I could afford it I would hire him as my stylist.
Another excellent video on proportioning! I've been trying to mix and match my loose fit pants with chunkier shoes and slimmer pants with slimmer shoes and toy with sock lengths with cropped pants as well. Now that you pointed those out, I think keeping in mind proportioning pant / shoe widths help!
I did want to say that one thing that's helped me a lot for finding pants that look and fit well is alterations - I've toyed with taking in at the waist, hemming the leg and narrowing the leg holes. It's just another cost/ consideration to factor in when I shop for clothes because as someone who thrifts often, turning a slightly off fit into a better one (even with just a hem alone) is a subtle but substantial upgrade.
My solution to the problem for basically my entire life has been to simply wear shorts all the time.
A great side-effect in winter is that you end up building cold tolerance
or pain tolerance, because you never feel your legs.
You describe my whole life here
I would need video just for shorts because doesnt matter the lenght I alwways dislike the look of it on me.
@@augusto7681 Really? I've found that no matter the shorts they almost always look good on casual outfits, even long sleeve ones, but I suppose it differs from person to person
my bad but i find this really funny asf
🤣
I think you and James Leung are conducting a social experiment on your viewers lol
Haha how so?
@@HarryHas both your latest videos were posted at the same time and the content is so similar. I’m joking but its a funny coincidence.
@@the_33rd I've just noticed this haha!!
I’m conducting a social experiment but James doesn’t know
The rule of thirds is such a great way of explaining proportions. Thanks Harry, that’s brilliant!
i like that you choose your words carefully like using "my opinion", coz u never force ur standard to other people, and that is professional and very understanding of the differences of human.
When it comes to casual outfits I found the 50:50 ones looked much better than the rule of thirds. It just felt off how small the top was compared to the pants. For suits and that style of dressing where you tuck in the shirt it makes sense. I think it's mostly personal preference and outfit dependent, instead of just saying one ratio is the be and end all.
yeah. i dont like the short top at all. i always try to avoid it lol
I agree. It depends on the style you're going for.
also imho the length of the trousers is much better on the 50:50 guy. also the shoes the 1/3,2/3 guy is wearing are - again: imo - ugly.
Every Outfit he shows Looks Bad. No manly clothing Style Here. Just Some Metro Guys…
Just remembering southpark looking this video
The rule of thirds works for a lot of people, but in some cases, a rule of thirds just won't complement some forms. Men with wider hips (like myself) most of the time just can't use the rule of thirds without exaggerating the hips to an almost feminine hourglass degree.
Using a belt is practically required for me, since most men's cut pants don't taper back around the hips nearly enough as I'd need.
A little tactic I've employed personally for anyone else with my same issue, is using tall length shirts under a more regular fit top like a standard hoodie or slightly rolled up sweater, then tucking one hipside of the long undershirt into the pants underneath to get some more interesting shape play. It breaks up the boring 1/2 shape pretty well.
Yup or if you have ridiculously long skinny legs like me the rule of thirds won’t work
@@holdenmcrotch9538 yes it will, unless you’re a T-Rex or amputated your arms, you’re going to be proportionate enough
The rule of thirds examples were so helpful! Thank you. Brilliant video
Awesome to hear. I worried I didn’t explain it well
French speaker here, your pronunciation of Timothée Chalamet was a-ok to me!
Great video too, as always! :)
I'm really happy to have found your channel, it helped me figure out my style and become more confident in my shopping and my appearance, so thanks a lot ❤
Keep up the great work, can't wait for the next video :)
That’s good to hear. Just ignore how I saw it in other videos haha. I’m really pleased I can help 🙏
Great video and you're 100% correct about not keeping/buying something that you don't love.
Thank you very much 🙏
Love the style tips Harry! I'm a photographer and am looking how to sharpen up my outfits on shoot days and your videos have been really helping me become not so fashion illiterate. I was also wondering what advice you'd give to gentleman on the larger side in the waist? I'm in this boat my self and often wonder what would be more flattering. Keep up the videos, love the content 🤘
That’s awesome to hear dude. I would recommend you just do the same as what I teach in my videos. I would avoid anything too skinny or too baggy. You can’t go wrong with a more tailored look and it’s a safe option 👍
@@HarryHas Ace cheers Harry! I’ll take that onboard and keep these things in mind for when I’m next out and about 👏
Really enjoyed this video and especially the part with the rule of thirds. Explains why some of my outfits look shapeless. Thank you! ✌
Glad you liked it dude. Thanks for watching
The rule of thirds was interesting. As a tall dude, I always felt like if my shirts ended around my belt line then they were too short. I've lately started wearing longer shirts thinking it was a better look to be oversized but it does make my figure shapeless (which I mean... it is... but even moreso).
I think the size he showed looked too short aswell. If you rise your hand your whole midsection will show.
@@las9582 Right!!!!
Being tall has nothing to do with your proportions
I’ll be honest, that rule of thirds part kinda blew my mind a little! Thanks dude
That Vienetta drip!! Super informative video man.
Hahaha those vienetta stacks! cheers bro.
Absolutely loved the last piece of your video ❤️ Confidence is all that matters to making a great looking outfit 😎
Cheers 🤘
Thanks for watching dude
@@HarryHas Quality content is holding me back to this channel :)
Always love watching your videos along with The Modest Man, and Tim Dessaint... keeps me guided always. I love the way you tell us details since I want my outfit to be simple yet sort of flashy.
That’s awesome to hear. Those are both great channels so I’m happy to be alongside them. Cheers for the support
Your always there when I need you! Thank you for all the amazing vids! Keep up the good work!!
Dude I'm so glad I found your channel, thank you for this video!
Loved the video, the 2/3 examples were really helpful!
Really pleased to hear. Thanks for watching
Thank you Harry! I am so appalled by the this very thing. I am 5'8 1/2" and I keep my tailer in business! Even with T shirts I have to have them hemmed! You nailed it!!
Thank you mate. At least all your clothing will fit you perfectly. 👍
@@HarryHas Indeed it does. Be well.
Best hairdo for Harry so far. Bring that thing back!
I loved this video, really helps me a lot on styling my outfits. Thank you.
The biggest takeaway from this video is understanding your body type as well as understanding which trends will complement your body type. I have somewhat of a stout build where I'm muscular, but I also have a pear-shape to my abdomen and my legs are short and thick (most of the thickness residing in the thighs). So growing up, I avoided pants like the plague because regular fits were uncomfortable and relaxed fits made me look uneducated. Then, around 2014, there was this over prioritization of fashion, and one of the guidelines were that men needed to wear pants to look more 'masculine', more 'attractive', and overall more 'mature'. With this prioritization of fashion came about new, stretchy fabrics and modern fits, like athletic tapered, that allowed someone like me to follow the trend of the time, which was fitted/slim everything. So at the time, I might have looked somewhat decent, but now I regret building my closet with pieces that followed the trend. Not only do these too fitted clothing pieces make me look outdated, but I'm realizing that the aggressive taper of my pants really accentuates the unflattering proportions of my body like my short legs and pear-shaped abdomen. Now, in the 2020s, the trend is for relaxed cuts that still maintain a fitted silhouette to them. So we are seeing the trend favor pants with a relaxed straight cut, high-rise, and minimal break. These type of pants complement my body perfectly because the high-rise not only minimizes the pear-shape by allowing for part of the abdomen to be 'tucked' but that extra fabric, along with the straight cut, gives the illusion that my legs are longer than they are. The modern cut of these relaxed fits allow my overall style to look smart
you described my exact struggle too!
it's very funny because I was thinking about this a week ago! You basically implied this with the rule of thirds but rise is very important and tends to get neglected.
I used to think pants should be worn low on the hips like you see a lot of fitness influencers wear them, but then I learned that the waistband should be closer to the bellybutton for a lot of pants, it definitely changes the look and fit of the pants.
A basic idea, but something that gets neglected.
Rise is 100% important.
Exactly what I needed, again! Keep up the amazing content!
Pleased to hear mate. Thank you for the support 🙏
Dope video bro and great explanations, really interesting concept. Keep up the great stuff!
Really appreciate that man. Thanks a lot
My reason was that it took me so many tries to get the perfect jeans. Oh so many tries. It took importing them to finally get what I wanted. Wanted to see someone elses's thought process.
Excellent video Harry! The rule of thirds explanation has helped me so much with my outfit choices, I had not heard of it before. So thanks 👍
Thank you very much. Pleased to hear it
Clicked it expecting nonsense, and thinking I'd close the vid within 2 minutes, ended up finishing it lol. This video was actually solid. I've always been slightly aware of the 3rds thing you mentioned but I never really could put my thumb on what it was haha so thanks for giving it a name and making me slightly more conscience of it.
finally someone explained the rules of thirds in a way i can understand. Thank you.
Really pleased to hear that. Thanks for watching
Hell yeah boys. Remember that youre WORTH IT, and you have to love what you see in the mirror if youre shopping. These are the pieces that you end up buying another one of, and slowly defining your style.
this is actually so well made, i know nothing about looking good but i understood this, surprisingly...
kudos to you!
i could never point out why some fits just didn't work
I think the rule of thirds is subjective. Lots of skater outfits that I wear with skinny jeans, and a looser fitting shirt that falls below my hips looks pretty good imo. Or just be attractive and you won't need the rules lol
My body has been very erratic lately and it's been effecting my waste size in that there are days I feel my pants fit and other days where they don't, only jogger pants have given me a good fit lately because of all the gatrter. I came to this video thinking that there may be a hack to make loose pants look better because I can't really buy a new pair while my body can't decide what size to be in. Unfortunately situations like mine weren't included but good vid though, I learned something new in the rule of thirds idea.
Agree with all of your advice. Great video!
Love the tip at the end LOL. That is totally me. Like 99% of the clothing that I had just bought but still don't wear it.
The thing is, it's so hard to find good cropped or normal length clothes (except for trousers) as a man because most things in the market are too long for some reason...
100% agree with all these tips. IMO opinion many fashion influencers glaze over details like this especially when it comes to discussing more relaxed and oversized fits. It's because of this that it leads to many often disregarding relaxed and oversized styles as sloppy or just 'not for me', because they don't realize that a more relaxed/oversized still requires you to consider the details like proportions etc. Great video!
…well said, kudos to you and this channel. While young, better learn the basic importance of fit and form. Let it be a guide in one’s style evolution. It has served me well in the many a decades I have blazed through. All it takes is hint of confidence and a trusted tailor.
The "too small pants and belt" look had me 💀
I’m learning all the time. I had no idea how to wear a cropped trouser 2 months ago. Now, it’s all i wear.
The tips that you keep giving, such as buying cheap, I need to hear, over and over bc I’m trying to break 20 years of programming. Roll on next Sunday!! 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching mate. Pleased you are enjoying the vids
I know the subject were pants, but saw your jacket and purchased immediately. Love your content. Keep it up!
That’s cool! I’m really enjoying the jacket at the moment. Porter James are a pretty new brand but they are doing some cool things
Great vid. Really helped understand why sometimes some of my outfits don’t work and wasn’t sure why.
Do you have a Pinterest showcasing styles/looks you like at all?
I've never heard of rule of thirds until this video and it makes so much sense. Although I wear a ton of baggy tees, would you suggest any remedy for this? Would I cut the bottom of the baggy tees so I keep the boxy/long sleeve fit but the bottom half doesn't go down to a 50/50 look...?
7:46, he mentions flipping it round so is this mean you could wear the baggy tee with some shorts as it's now flipped around and the baggy tee is the bigger area? I guess so right?
exactly that!
I agree, skinny jeans are very hard to style with sneakers. Its alot easier with tall boots since the opening is so narrow. There isn't anything wrong with big relaxed pants breaking over slim hi tops. You dont want your pants so short they ride up half your leg when you sit down
I bought a few pants according to your advice, and they look better than my old ones. thanks!
Great to hear mate
Yo Harry, thank you for teaching me how to wear pants (again). This was the type of fashion video I was looking for, an instant sub from me dog!
4:47 I preferred the left
Same 💀
When you look down if things aren't right change it. Shoes gotta be right, the way the pants hang around the shoes gotta be right. Different style pants and shoe combinations will be different but still gotta look right to your eye otherwise nope. Don't listen to anyone that says the slim or even skinny style jeans and slacks are out....unless you're not slim or skinny therefore they were never in.
Reason Two had me rolling 🤣🤣 Good stuff as usual
Haha thanks mate
Whenever Harry mentions a tailor, he always puts up that same girl 😂
Btw Awesome video as always. Very informative.
I like to pretend she is my tailor and we know each other well. Thanks a lot mate 👍🤟
I like this rule of thirds, but for me for shirts I'm a M/L depends on the shift I'd have to wear a small size to do it sometimes but alot of times they won't fit me and if I'm wearing a shirt and jeans , I think I look weird with a shirt tucked in if I don't wear a jacket. But I do try my best
Same here buddy!
Thank you, haven’t seen a good video like this in a while!
Harry, I really enjoy you’re advice. Keep up the fun videos.
Pleased to hear man. Thank you
How to look good in pants/trousers:
Be tall.
Taller people just generally look better in everything because their long limbs crate a “hanger “ effect that designers look for. Hence why models are “tall” even tho the average person they are selling their clothes to are much shorter.
Ideally you want to have a slightly shorter torso and longer legs. Of course you have to have the genetics for that and be lucky.
Rule of the thirds is just a guideline. It can be broken because there are some fits that don't follow it and look amazing. Just depends on your body and if you can pull it off
Thanks mate ! Your content really helpful ❤
Totally agrees with every piece of advice on this video 👏
I'm skinny, with skinny and slim fit I look extra skinny, so regular fit just looks way better..
Your figure is important when picking clothes too
I don't no why I stop here, but the truth is I agree 100% with your ideas.
Really nice and informative! Keep up the good work 😎 Subscribed!
It’s so frustrating how expensive alterations are here in Austin. I used to live in korea where I could get my pants hemmed for $10 in one hour. Waist adjusted for $15. I guess it’s just a demand and volumes thing. And Uniqlo in korea for example will hem your pants free with purchase. It was an easier life :) lol
Yup, Japan Uniqlo also did that as well. Wish we did it here in the states 😂
I’m 29 and been wearing my pants wrong all my life smh
Very helpful video, so i will try to style my clothes right! Thanks, Harry😊
Glad to help mate. There is no wrong or right, just personal preference. Have fun!
this guy is so accurate
I never realized how badly I needed this.
Your way of explaining concepts is very engaging 👍
Great video harry, really informative
Thank you very much
Great and informative content as usual. Thank you, Harry.
Some good advices, some look like personal bias. Like a background music 🎉
Nice tips. I've been observing how costume designers and stylists dress characters on tv/film, noticing how well-dressed certain characters are depending on the setting and the build of the actor. The rule of thirds could usually be seen being used on female characters. Male characters where the rule of thirds was applied tend to be wearing some sort of suit or blazer.
We also have to remember that celebrities, be it established actors or pop singers, have stylists that are hired by the distribution studio or by the celebrities themselves to dress them for red carpet events. Only a handful of celebrities have the innate ability to dress themselves any better than a non-celebrity who delves into personal fashion. They only better than they actually are when professional help is hired to aid them.
real quality content here, thanks a lot!
First time being to your channel with random suggested.
I find your character very sincere and rich when you put jokes to it. And I think you suit and should put more funny jokes to your videos.
Like and subscribed. ;)
Wow so much good information, I'm new to fashion and trying to get better at it. I will definitely Implement some of your tips.
You was preaching on this
I'm here to learn brudi.. Thank you for your time to make this video
Amazing advice, thank you!
the last part about loving your purchase 100% and self convident is damn true... even tho not everyone always realize it...
Just discovered your channel - love it brother!
Thank you mate
Just wanted to say, i love your content ♥️
I just wanted to say, thank you for your support. Means a lot
The most useful and practical advice
ty for this! learned quite a bit, fashion is fun!
It was so calm to watch, thank you buddy
Recently started to wear jeans a little higher and dropped wearing baggy t-shirts. Noticed that it kinda looks better, found out that there is a science behind it!
Thank you Harry, it's a big help to me.
Needed this. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed it
idk why but i love it when he says trousers
so soft spoken
I was snickering throughout. You're hilarious
Amazing content Harry!
Since I've started using the rule of thirds (without knowing the name of it until now!), many of my friends would come at me asking "how do you find ways to look that nice?".
I simply couldn't get a nice answer to it until I figured it was all about the proportions, not the look/clothes itself.
