Dressing better

The American players probably didn't want to wear suits.  Remember when a team visited the white house in shorts and flip flops (I think it was a women's college team) ?

  You shouldn't expect much from athletes.
The athletes at my college would wear nothing but sweats, shorts, sandals.  I don't even think they owned any pants.

Hahaha. But yeah I'm sure it has to do with the budget tho
 
As a short guy at 5'6...

Would you say a good rule of thumb for hemming pants would be no break? I just fear that the back would be hemmed up too high almost looking like parade marching pants.

Should I ask for an altered hem? High in the front and low towards the back?

I think it depends on how full the pant legs are.  I wouldn't recommend no break if it's your only suit, slight puddles like the potus's might be better for daily wear. Is this what you're going for?

have the tailor pin it with no break and see how it looks.  then see how it looks with a slight break.  try sitting down with both types of hem and judge for yourself on how comfortable you are or walk a few steps to see how the pants move.  i wouldn't get an slanted hem, it doesn't look right.  it's true that having no break will give a slight illusion of being taller (cuffs are usually reserved for a taller stature).  but as the above poster mentioned, the width of the leg also plays a factor.  slim and no break for a shorter man is a good way to go.

Uniqlo
Suit, $89. 




can anyone vouch the quality for this Uniqlo suit?  $89 is ridiculously cheap.  i hear mixed reviews in this thread about the overall quality of Uniqlo items.  is it a cotton-poly blend?  rough seams/poorly constructed that leads to it's low price?   target merona suits are more expensive than this.
 
I hem all my pants to have no break, but they're also tapered so that there's very little loose fabric near my ankle. I think if you go for a no break hem, and the pants aren't tpered, it will look odd.

It shouldn't be too bad.. but remember most of these suits would probably we altered by the tailor to get the best fit possible.
