Too long tops - what to do?

I have a few tops and buttondowns that hit me at the crotch or even an inch lower. The tops aren't even tunics.

Like this BR lightweight sweater top:

And this NY&Co buttondown:

I have another buttondown like this with thin gold stripes. These two have been sitting in my closet for over a year and the gold srtipe one still has the tags on it.

The red top I get away with folding in the hem or scrunching. But it's annoying to keep the hem like that all day. Any suggestions on anyway I can salvage them. Or should I just pass them on?

Thanks!

I actually think they're supposed to be that long. They look good to me.

I regularly wear tops that are crotch-length. If they look good on me, I dunno, but yours look fine to me! If the length bothers you, you can go to the tailor and have a few inches lopped off.

Niva,

The first one is a little long, but the second one is fine to me. Love the way use it with a belt!

Niva, I agree with the other ladies that the tops look really good on you.

If you really think they are too long- take them to a taylor and have them hemmed up.

They both look good to me, sweet stuff. No need to fuss with altering in my book.

Niva, another agreement, they look great. But have you tried tucking them? Esp. the button down.... I find the length is more comfortable for tucking because I don't have to worry about it popping out at all when I sit.

Thanks a ton everyone.

Angie, if you're ok, I'm ok

Khris, they don't really bother me but sometimes when I wear these tops, I somehow always get the nagging feeling I'm messing with the leg line visual.

Kendra, I'd love to tuck them in, but half the time I'm just too busy trying to cover my butt LOL. I actually have tried tucking in the red top and then letting as much out as I can to get some length over the hip bone. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
