Three reasons why Muslim men are not allowed to wear garments, thobe and pants below their ankles:
1] To maintain their masculinity, just as they are obliged to keep their beards, and to prevent them from imitating the distinctive mannerisms of women when the latter drag their dresses and gowns.
2] To clearly differentiate them from the unbelievers who don't follow a certain dress code. Besides being distinguished by their long beards and lowering the gaze, another signature of pious Muslim men is dutifully avoiding the qaza' haircut, silk, gold, and clothing that flow beneath their ankles.
3] To examine who from the Muslims will readily obey Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and who would stubbornly give more importance to their desires and modern society's demands.

📖 Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The garment of a Muslim (man) should be lowered to the middle of the shin (front part of the leg below the knee), but there is no harm or blame in what is between it and the ankles. Whatever is lower than the ankles is in the Hellfire. Whoever trails his garment in pride, Allah will never look at him."

Al-Azimabadi said, “In this tradition is evidence that it is recommended for the garment of a Muslim man to be lowered midway between the shins, and it is permissible, without being discouraged, to lower it even further to the ankles.”
