Ask Angie: PPL on zipper skinny jeans

What is PPL for zipper skinny jeans?

The reason I ask is because I ordered these:

The inseam is 28" and my inseam is 29". I like how they look but they really do finish 1-1 1/2" above the bottom of my heel. So can I get away with it or should I take them back?

Patience, it depends entirely on how you want them to fit. I like scrunch and length so mine are longer. Does 29 inches include scrunch for your leg line?

29" does not include scrunch. These skinnies are 10" when zipped. I'd go for the long length, but they don't have my size.

Aaah. Well.....I don’t prefer ankle length jeans without at least a bit of scrunch or length. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t look nice when you wear a heel. Give them a bash?

I was about to order a pair myself. But now that I see that the regulars may be too short for you Patience, I might have to give the talls a try. The 8s may be too big, but it's the smallest Tall size they have left so I'll try.

For $50 plus a few coupons I'm going to go for it. It's the only way I can justify the trend this year. And the jeans are comfy. Sarah, I'm betting even the talls will be a tad short on you too. I keep telling myself that skinny ankle pants are not ideal but the zipper is just so cute. Actually, the heel issue reminds me of another question I have so off to post.

They are advertising a regular inseam as 28". My regular inseam is 32". They seem to run short don't they. Sarah, do they come in tall?

Ah, okay. I would want to wear mine with taller heels, so this probably won't work.

Yes, they do come in tall in my size Sandy, but talls for these particular jeans is only 30". Contrary to the photo, it sounds like these are supposed to be ankle jeans, which would not work for me.

I'm not sure how they are getting so much scrunch on the usually tall models. Maybe she's short and wearing the talls. These jeans are skinny enough that they will not fit over the foot in any way when zipped
