I was looking for a pair of straight leg mini-check trousers forever without success. I wish I can also find a similar pair in full length...<br /> It is amazing what a difference styling does to the same piece of clothing, isn't it? As Angie said the length difference is barely noticeable but they look so different in these pictures due to styling.<br /> Beth Ann, I hope you can find your perfect pair. I found these by sheer accident. I was trying on some tops and wanted to try them on with pants as I was waring a dress so I grabbed the first pair in sight which was 1 size up from my size. Just before that I tried on like 10 pairs of pants in my size and they were hideous. So imagine my surprise when this accidental pair was a great fit and a pattern I wanted. I did not buy any top that day BTW...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-677200 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:00:07 +0000 rae 677200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strange, I think the belt made more of a difference for me than the length. They look super great on you as they are now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-677175 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:08:38 +0000 Meredith1953 677175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trousers look lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-677106 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 19:41:20 +0000 Beth Ann 677106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great, Sveta, and you have such an artful semi-tuck! I admire the perfect rise in these -- neither too low, nor too high. This is my fashion task for fall -- to find a good rise and a well-fitting trouser! You're showing me the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676960 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:06:39 +0000 Jonesy 676960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous outfit and those pants look like a million bucks the way you've styled them (and after removing the junior-ish metal bits :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676927 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 15:26:35 +0000 Lisa 676927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length in #1 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676856 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 14:26:32 +0000 Angie 676856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can barely tell the difference! Both lengths look great to me, Sveta. Those trousers are fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676762 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:23:44 +0000 Anonymous 676762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I can't tell the difference in the pant length, because I'm focused on that whole amazing (#1) outfit. Love the semi tuck shirt and that the shoes are beige not blue or grey. I have similar pants and am planning to steal this look! Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676760 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:20:25 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 676760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am amazed at how much difference an inch made. I was one of the ones who thought a length just at or just below the knee would look fab on those pants but the slightly shorter length is looking very very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676755 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 11:00:35 +0000 merwoman 676755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic 1 looks like a page from a fashion magazine - stunning! Pants and half tucked shirt are gorgeous, and love the subtleness of your accessories - shoes, belt and bag. So neutral - so sophisticated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676700 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 07:29:40 +0000 lyn67 676700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your half tuck Sveta so much I cannot see other minor details like pats length, metal rings, or so:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676623 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 04:38:43 +0000 Anonymous 676623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on pins and needle to see what Angie will say.<br /> You look amazing with them styled this way. They look so much better with out the junior-ish metal parts. You make everything you wear look so cool. Love the shirt, belt and bag. I really need a good belt like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676606 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:52:53 +0000 Sveta 676606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, AJ!<br /> Lyn D, these metal bits came off right away: I felt like a horse with them! :-)<br /> Kari, the dinner sounds divine! I wish I could be there too...mine was a quick "whatever" meal before yoga calss...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676599 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:41:43 +0000 Lyn D. 676599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, love the pant sans the metal bits. Would like to see them cuffed to a slightly shorter length for comparison, but they are definitely better shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676598 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:41:38 +0000 Kari 676598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, will do! I'm home for the night anyway and made a decent white sauce &amp; shrimp/tuna pasta from scratch with a bell pepper &amp; avocado salad, so at least I have something to celebrate aside from my declining mental faculties. Wish you could join me for real! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676597 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:39:55 +0000 Sveta 676597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, have one more for me.

I'm SO sorry! I don't know where that came from.</p> <p>One glass of wine at dinner was one glass too many, I see. Whew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676592 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:33:04 +0000 AJ 676592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new length! Although it's hard to focus on the length because that outfit is FAB!! Luv the neutral and print mix. Very sophisticated but relaxed look. I'm favoriting this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676588 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:27:11 +0000 Sveta 676588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kari, it is nice to know I did not commit a fashion crime today (hopefully):-)<br /> It is really funny you called me Tanya: when I was young people called methis name by mistake pretty often and said it somehow suited me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676585 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:23:46 +0000 Kari 676585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I think there's a world of difference between #1 and 2. The shorter length is a lot more flattering and avoids the frump factor.</p> <p>You *could* go shorter, but my personal opinion is that with your height and long, slender legs, you don't need to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-does-this-length-work#post-676577 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:13:21 +0000 Sveta 676577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a mixed feedback on the best length for these cropped trousers I bought recently. I adore the mini hound tooth pattern and the fit is great - relaxed without being baggy. What I am not sure about is the length.<br /> I have shortened them 1" - do you think it works or do I need to shorten them even more?<br /> For comparison I am attaching "before" photo of the original length - pic 2</p> <p>So does this length work (pic 1) or do I need to shorten them more?<br /> Thanks! </p>
