The guy on the left is wearing trousers in the current fashion. He probably bought pants that were reviewed as "well-fitting" and then paid for some more "slimming" by a tailor. His trousers are, as a direct result, a lumpy, grabby, twisty, wrinkly mess.

The man on the right, Lucianno Barbera, knows what he is doing, and has properly-fitting trousers that fall vertically from the waist in straight lines along the creases.

I am a great believer that aesthetics are subjective and personal, but I have a VERY hard time seeing how the silhouette offered on the left can be considered even close to as good-looking as the one on the right. This seems like an AMC Gremlin versus Auburn Boattail Speedster grade decision.

Well done! :thumbs-up:

And, IMO, 100% correct!

That's an interesting picture. The gent on the right is very well dressed but it is a bit staid and conservative for my taste and not everyone is happy dressing that conservatively. For me the problem with the chap on the left is that the crotch on the trousers looks like is too low so it looks like he's wearing a nappy and he's quite bulky above the waist so his top and bottom halfs look out of proportion.

I certainly don't have a problem with men wearing tighter trousers than would classically be acceptable, you just need to have the figure for it.

I'm aware that each succeeding generation feels the need to look different from that which proceeded it. (A seemingly natural phenomenon that the fashion industry greatly encourages!) But sometimes that different, for lack of a better term, sucks. And it's time to turn the page. That time is now.
