Definition
Depending on the length and width, one speaks of no, slight, half or full break. The terms describe varying amounts of visible wrinkling across the shoe.
In simple words
Slim, modern trousers are often worn with little or no breakage; more classic or additional models may have a heavier base. Too much length can compress the drape and appear untidy, while a hem that is too short will lose the desired degree of formality.
What to pay attention to
- Assess the length using the specific shoe model and standing upright.
- Check front and back: The hem should not drag on the floor.
- Match the break to the leg width, fabric weight and occasion.
Common misconceptions
The trouser break is not a damaged or permanently ironed fold. It is created by the controlled impact of the hem on the shoe.
ESKYNA note
The trouser fold is the final line of a pair of trousers - a few centimeters decide between clear, classic and compressed.
