Straight from the cuff is the best way, if you have the vertical closet space required. We just finished the redesign to our new Clamping Trouser Hanger and expect to have it soon.
However, our is also exceptional. Because it is felted and not locking, it does not crease trousers like ordinary locking-bar hangers. I wouldn't discount these with common intuition.
Another hidden benefit of our felted trouser bar, and one of my favorite, is that you can hang several, several pairs of trouser on one Felted Trouser Bar hanger (they are very robust. This makes rotating out-of-season trouser very easy. It also helps with closet rod space.
