Should I shorten wedding trousers to no break? I'm 98% sure I would

I'm pretty good/knowledgeable when it comes to fit, look etc etc. I got these hemmed a while back and went to a wedding, but havent been happy with them due to the half/full break in images. I'm pretty sure I should get them shortened so there is no break and more skin is showing in loafers. Before I do, just wanted to ask for opinions that's all! Cheers šŸ™‚

the length shown in the pics looks good - are you wearing them cuffed as is? or is that the length you're proposing hemming to?

So they were stitched to have a 'turn up' effect/look (forgot what it's called). I'm thinking something like this:

I'm not personally a fan of my suit pants that short. I'm also not built like the guy in that photo

I think it could go either way tbh, Iā€™d be most swayed by how it looks with the jacket

it's called a cuff, and it looks fine as is

I personally would prefer no break here. Your not wearing socks with your loafers and i just like suit/wool pants to have little to no break lol that being said you're already at a half to a quarter break so this looks fine to me.

Ye I get that point. I think as it's loafers I want it a little more shorter/see more of the loafer/skin. Even trying the 'shorter look' with a standard derby/oxford style shoe looks perfectly fine I believe. Ye i'm aware of cuffs lol. The tailor stitched the inside so it stays like that. I didnt cuff it. It's called something more elegant/sleek lol

Tailored pants often have cuffs stitched in

same thing to an extent. Except he's stitched the inside for suits/ smart trousers?

Turn-ups and cuffs are the same thing. You always stitch it so it stays that way, unless you're just cuffing your jeans temporarily.
