Back in college our fashion/textiles tutor (who was a master seamstress in wedding clothes for some time) said "clothes should fit like you're naked, like you can't feel them" meaning, they should fit you, not be too tight or too baggy. I remember wearing baggy trousers to work and a guy said to me he boils his trousers til they're a tight fit.
Depending on your trousers, they will be somewhere between ankle swingers and dragging under your shoe heel. That classic look is a narrow trouser that rests when standing just above the shoe, which in many ways i showing off your quality choice in socks and shoe.
But there's also the 'break' where the trouser falls over the laced tongue part of the shoe, because of the trouser's length and cut. If the trouser totally folds back on itself it's a full break, and it could be baggy enough that the trouser goes all the way to the vamp. If it rests on the shoe and folds but not terribly, it's a half break. Somehow both of these are acceptable.
They're not acceptable.

Pedantry is acceptable, I am the same about things I care about.
What does this mean?
