I get impatient and either cuff or hack!</p> <p>I love the idea of hemming and then cuffing - gives you the versatility, especially while your eyes re-adjust to the non-skinny style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094596 Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:28:34 +0000 Lesley 2094596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want company, I'm still hemming all my pants on the shorter side... I just have a high-water soul. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094473 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 20:31:51 +0000 slim cat 2094473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In your picture the length looks good - how about flats? Is it working good or looks longer/gathered around ankle?.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094472 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 20:30:22 +0000 Anonymous 2094472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you, if you cuff you won’t need to hem and it still will look just as stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094456 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 17:43:16 +0000 karen13 2094456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look great on you and I like the fold under length. Straight legs are hard, so thanks for sharing the questions and recommendation.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094435 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:37:45 +0000 Anonymous 2094435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me at that length too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094427 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:11:54 +0000 KMM 2094427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie and Shevia!  This is exactly the advice I was looking for. (I understood the cuffing suggestion... I had to fold the excess under to get the visual of hemmed to the proper full length).</p> <p>p.s. I'm putting in another plug for these jeans, they're a nice even dark wash with minimal whiskering and the material is divine. Rise is perfect for me at about 10". They're Paige's "Transcend fabric" which promises not to bag out.  Will see how they hold up over time.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094418 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 14:46:22 +0000 Angie 2094418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look GREAT, <b>KMM. </b>Thanks for&nbsp;the&nbsp;pic.&nbsp;<b></b><b></b></p> <p>May I suggest hemming to regular length and then using the single cuff method to achieve a cropped length? Versatile. <b>Shevia</b> has modeled this perfectly! Thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094365 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 03:28:40 +0000 Jaime 2094365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you at that length! But I think Angie meant a big cuff on the outside! I do that with my straight jeans that are too long sometimes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094355 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 01:03:42 +0000 KMM 2094355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie- There’s so much extra length that it was hard for me to fold it under neatly, but here is the general idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094348 Wed, 22 Jan 2020 00:02:03 +0000 Angie 2094348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see them on full length with boots before you hack them?&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, try the '90s WIDE SINGLE cuff. That way you can wear them long and cropped.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-hem-length-for-straight-leg-denim#post-2094341 Tue, 21 Jan 2020 23:07:15 +0000 KMM 2094341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These Paige Hoxton Straight Leg jeans came today and they fit great so I’m keeping them. &nbsp;I have to have at least 4 inches hemmed off the length. It’s been ages since I wore straight jeans- where should the hem hit? The find shows them worn full length, but I’m not sure I like that look. Is ankle length acceptable, like the first photo? Maybe my eye just needs to adjust back to a non-skinny silhouette again. Input anyone?&nbsp; </p>
