There are no rules to the wearing of trousers (pants) but I think that those who wear them halfway down their backside or the older generation who pull them up past their navel or those who show a few inches of ankle don't look right and in some cases stupid. I feel the same about the wearing of the kilt. Each to their own but expect to be criticised or in some cases ridiculed especially by those outside their peer group.
I think with trousers, there are 2 things to look at - generally, (from my POV) the beltline (for us guys) should be about at the hip, and the bottom of the pants varies a little based on footgear. I regularly wear boots, so my pants are a little shorter than if I were wearing shoes. It's rather dificult for me to find pants that look right on me wearing shoes, they tend to either be made too long (where the back is dragging the ground) or they are too short where you can clearly see my ankles (but works just fine with my boots).
