Models in ads for Ferragamo, Armani and many other designers wear pants that completely cover their shoes and sometimes drag on the ground. Yet, in a recent Burberry ad, the model is wearing pants that just hit at the ankle. So what is the right length to wear pants? That length is suitable only for people with paid staff who carry them around in a sedan chair, a few feet off the ground.
Know anybody like that? This length is ridiculous for the rest of us who encounter snow, rain, mud and everyday dirty sidewalks and floors. If you opt for the cover-the-shoe look, the best approach is hemming the pants long but not long enough to touch the floor. Slim-leg pants look fine hitting at the anklebone. Crop pants, especially wide-leg ones that end at midcalf or a couple of inches above the ankle are just not flattering.

Explain it how you will, what's evident is a crisis in the self-image of men. When the chancellor of the exchequer emerges from 11 Downing Street looking like Huck Finn on a raft, declaring "Never mind what's in the box, just read my socks! Could this be why, as though to claw the man back from the boy, beards as worn by castaways and hermits are suddenly the rage again? Do they denote a realization in some men that infantilism has had its day?
The trouble is, the beard doesn't go with the mankle. Men who are backwoodsman above the waist, and dainty-mankled waifs below it, appear confused and precariously balanced.
