Classic Fit Trouser Waist
Classic fit trousers waistband should be neither too baggy nor too tight. Pockets should lay flat upon the hip, not pull apart. If pockets expand, a larger size waistband is necessary. For the perfect fit, two fingers should fit between the waistband and the hips on both sides when not wearing a belt.
Classic Fit Trouser Hem
Although it is a matter of preference, classic trousers traditionally break once before the top of the shoe. In the back, the hemline should halfway cover the sole of the shoe. In the front, it should be just slightly higher, so that the tops of the shoes are covered.

Classic fit trousers are more generous around the thighs, tapering slightly throughout the leg to the hemline.
