This is because cuffed trousers came about from Edward VII's habit of turning up his trouser cuffs while in the country, to avoid getting them muddy. It has remained the accepted style with anything less formal than evening Scotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17710406470860389078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593388140454867428.post-30610682371801704682008-01-03T11:20:00.000-08:002008-01-03T11:20:00.000-08:002008-01-03T11:20:00.000-08:00Evening trousers are never cuffed, even when they ...Evening trousers are never cuffed, even when they are pleated.

I like cuffs on my suits - but now that I think of it, I would prefer my tux pant to have no cuff like yours here. Seems more elegant for evening wear.Great socks too. I am guessing you wore a reddish bouttoniere to complement the socks.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03961930732125748800noreply@blogger.com
