Allah -azwj Says: Cleanse your clothes (74:4). This means tuck up your clothes. [5] إذا تعرى الرجل نظر إليه الشيطان فطمع فيه فاستتروا ليس للرجل أن يكشف ثيابه عن فخذه و يجلس بين يدي قوم If one of you takes all the clothes off, the Shaitan will look at him greedily. Hence, you should always screen your bodies. It is inappropriate for men to tuck the clothes up the knees (level) when they sit with others.
