The fish trousers could be considered the (new) male neckline. The rise of rockabilly aesthetics is still valid another spring. Here, the keys to teach just.
Teaching ankle is the man of our day as well as the beard to hipsters. It has gone from being a mere trend with aromas typical of the rockabilly of the 50s to become a premise when it comes to dressing. It emerged more than three years ago under the name of 'pinrolling'. Then, roll up the bottom of the pants and had the blessing of international fashion firms. During the summer of 2016, the concept resulted in pants with a 'cropped' pattern. That is, they came with short bass series. Until today. When these two fashions are added two other meanings for the rise of the appearance 'jogger' or 'athleisure'.
Each pant has its own codes when it comes to rolling them up. For example, a Chinese allows a couple of laps wider than those of a 'slim' or 'skinny' pattern cowboy. In models like these, it is advisable that they do not exceed one and a half centimeters; otherwise, it may generate a visual effect of short legs. Be that as it may, the truth is that the male ankle has inexorably become the feminine neckline. And it takes without socks (or with 'pinkis'). Below, an illustrated guide on how to sign up for the 'mankle' trend depending on the garment you choose without losing elegance.
With cowboy
The spectrum of jeans with back is as wide as the models that exist in the market this season. As it is about going without socks, this garment needs a shoe that is up to par: from a pair of sneakers to derby shoes through suede moccasins. The ideal color? The one that complements perfectly with the tone of the trousers: white, blue and toasted become an ideal option.

With Chinese
In cotton, in twill or, why not, in linen. No matter the fabric, the important thing is the pattern of the pants. In the case of Chinese, there are many options. As many as the colors that take center stage this spring: from navy blue to green, passing through nude or earth colors. Everything is always valid if its versions with a lap or a 'cropped' version are finished with suede shoes, white sneakers or, why not, nautical shoes. The inspiration of Mediterranean airs is combined as well.

With jogger
Before deciding to use these trousers, the first premise must be clear: they can only be worn with white sneakers. The second is to opt for a jogger in neutral colors that result in a clean and simple combination. Shirts in fabrics such as linen and accessories in a minimalist key will do the rest. These models require teaching the ankle just for the sake of it, and at least it is more they will become the winning option without appearing to have just left the gym.

With a suit
In the Italian inspired suits is the key. Although the most purist gentlemen would refuse to wear it with loafers and without socks, the fact is that the 'stile' allows the classic dress codes to relax now that the temperatures increase. To teach ankle with correction, the most advisable option is to use a pair of trousers whose bottom has the sewn back as standard. In this way, it is possible to combine it with shirts and slippers or, failing that, with a tie and briefcase. In measure resides success.
