I'm finally hacking my Gap vintage crops. They were fine with flat sandals (1 1/2" from the top of my ankle bone), but now it's boot season.

Please help me choose a length.
I plan to let them fray. They are shorter than this fresh out of the dryer (and they have to go in the dryer). FWIW the few women I see around here wearing wider crops and boots wear them pretty long. I'm leaning toward the longer length but fear it doesn't read as sufficiently intentional.

  • Front. On my right leg, the jeans are hacked to 2 1/2" above the ankle, Skin definitely shows when I sit, only occasionally in movement. On my left leg, the jeans are turned under and pinned to 3 1/2". The left leg sits exactly at the top of these boots (the shaft on my black boots is 1/8" lower).
  • Left side. Pinned to 3 1/2"
  • Right. Cropped to 2 1/2"
  • Rear view.
What are your thoughts? Your input is welcome (up to and including "Purge those pants posthaste!").
