I prefer the wider leg pants over the narrow pencil leg pants. To that’s more of a gentlemens preferred look.

Rule of thumb if it’s a pleated front you cuff if it’s flat front you hem

My seamstress suggest if pants are pleated add cuffs (the details). Plain front, plain hem. However the choice is yours.
