Understanding the Difference Between Plain Hems and Cuffs in Clothing
- What is Plain Hem?
A plain hem is a basic, straight hem with no embellishment. It simply finishes the edge of a garment.
- What is Cuff Hem?
A cuff is a folded-over finished edge, usually at the bottom of sleeves or pants. Cuffs add visual interest and detail to an otherwise plain hem.
- Conclusion
Plain hems are basic straight finishes whereas cuffs are folded-over edges that add detail, as explained previously.

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.

Personally, I prefer cuff. To me it just looks more complete.
