An Italian woman for instance is very much in tune with her body weight, shape and height. She will follow fashion trends but not at the expense of looking worse.
Let 's face it. The majority of us are not super models or athletes. We do not have never ending legs or perfect breasts. We cannot and should not wear everything we see in the magazines. You need to fine tune what you see and then personalize it depending on your body type.

The hem should be such that it just glides and barely touches the shoe in the front. When standing up, you should never see your socks or hose. If you do see them, they are too short. The hem in the back should never touch the floor. There should never be a break (visible lines) in the pant leg.If there is, they are too long.
