Not sure if the question is « how is these pants supposed to fit » or « do you like how it fits on you ? »
Of course you can see photos on the BG site with what we can imagine is the vision of the BG team of how these pants should fit.
In your case I think you look good on the photo. If it’s the fit you want it’s OK.
For my taste the pant is slightly too much tight on legs and a little short.
And as said @Score colors of the shirt and the pants are too closed for me. I don’t see well but it seems you can’t use a blet with these pants, so maybe a lighter shirt could be an interresting option.
But again it’s my ersonnal taste only.
Haha I am aware of how critical you guys can be sometimes (without malice or sometimes a little bit of trolling thrown in) since I have been watching from the « shadows » so to speak. It still feels weird to see myself involved.
@Score He or she answered the question exactly the way I intended. I understand that you can really look at all the nuances in my original question. My problem was I didn’t know where the pants are supposed to sit on my body hence why I asked. I made the mistake to tailor then first before figuring that out (I bought them a while ago thinking they could just be worn anyhow but recently as I dive more and more into dressing well I realize that things aren’t that simple.) I am just realizing that where you wear your pants makes a big difference visually. Sorry if it sounds stupid but it’s as if I am figuring things out, and the more I do the more questions I have.
What I have been struggling a lot with recently is where pants should sit which in turn affect the overall silhouette. So I suppose I am struggling with 2 things. I thought just putting « nice » clothes together would do the trick. I wish there was a guide to go more in depth about those 2 things.
Trials and errors are the key.
Why don’t you open your own lookbook here ? Use it as a some kind of moodboard, share things you like and try outfits inspired be them.
The good fellas here will be happy to share their thoughts and help you style the silhouette(s) you are looking for.

Tout d’abord merci de ta réponse
je ne connais pas beaucoup ces sites anglophones, mais j’ai l’impression (du peu que j’en ai vu) que niveau pédagogie vestimentaire (à la BG) c’est vraiment le désert, est-ce le cas ? (alors que Bonnegueule avait un site aux USA appelé « kinowear »)
As-tu vu des sites ou chaines youtubes équivalents à BG dans le monde anglophone ?
En france depuis 10 ans il y a eu un up stylistique significatif chez les hommes (directement ou indirectement lié à BG), est-ce aussi le cas aux USA ?
I have a French background like I said above so I subconsciously look for things in French as well. So once I found something to my « taste » I stopped looking.
Same as bonnegueule I am sure there is one (I remember Benoit from BG) mentioning something like that a looong time ago. Like I said those channels are the ones I came across and most of them give basic stuff like this is my winter outfit, it doesn’t explain why a silhouette works, it doesn’t dive deep enough into details but BG did
It’s hard to make a comprehensive guide that could suit for nearly everybody.
If you want to read a bit more about clothing, Stiff-Collar is the other main source of content regarding menswear in France. (As well as Borasification, the 3rd one.)
Stiff collar deals a bit more with high waist pants and how it modify you silhouette. And you have plenty of content creators now that try to explain it in a more modern way, with videos.
They are 3 articles from Borasification that I like a lot about high waist pants. Maybe you could read them.
