I have low volume feet and narrow ankles. Normally I am a 37 (6.5) &nbsp;- but this size was way too big around the ankle. I sized down to a 6 and it seems fine. I'm &nbsp;'test driving' them at home (natural/tan colour)&nbsp;Love how they look with pants and a denim shirt dress. Thank you Shannon for spotting and posting about these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1454813 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 1454813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they need to be longer, but I may be biased because I don't like my pants that short. I'd go with whatever Angie tells you. Let's see a pic with them pinned longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1454807 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:36:14 +0000 lyn67 1454807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote a bit longer than this, too-to the ankle bone. Will come back to check for&nbsp;new picties.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1454800 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:25:41 +0000 Susie 1454800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, thanks for this post! I have these same pants and just a few days ago thought about making them lounge wear as they were feeling a bit frumpy. So I tried them rolled a bit with a high vamp, open toe shoe and I liked them much better. I think they will make a great weekend comfy pant so thank you for giving some EF a new shot of life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453864 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 02:07:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it amazing how that vamp changes how long the pants look?</p> <p>Right - will pin them at ankle bone tomorrow and show again with the two sets of footwear. Stay tuned...</p> <p>Off to go play with Dusty Bottom - an evening tradition </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453861 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 02:01:17 +0000 Angie 1453861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Queen Pedantic About Pant Lengths is honoured). </p> <p>They look shorter in #3 - because of the low vamped footwear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yeah. I don't like the dilly dally in-between lengths all that much either. Pin them longer and lets see that - to put your mind at rest more than anything else.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453856 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:55:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - thanks so much for chiming in! I consider you the expert when it comes to pant lengths :)</p> <p>Just to clarify, the length is the same in all three pictures. </p> <p>Hmmm...so leave this pinned length or go a bit longer to ankle bone? That is the question. I'm worried a bit longer will not look intentional enough and more like my pants are too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453849 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:45:39 +0000 Angie 1453849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the length in #2. You want them short enough to look cropped. INTENTIONAL. Super cute. &nbsp;</p> <p>I will also like them right on your ankle bone - as Aida suggested.&nbsp;<br />&lt;/br&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453830 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:22:06 +0000 Deborah 1453830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good Shannon.&nbsp; IMHO the trick is ensuring that they look intentional in their length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453829 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:21:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I LOVE these shoes! Are they 10 hour walking shoes? Nope. But are they walking for a few blocks and then wearing all day around the office and out for lunch? Yep. I'm also thinking of duplicating and getting black as well. But I'll be honest - I'm not entirely sure they'd work on a low volume foot. The soft leather upper is generous enough on my high volume feet. Worth trying on if you can though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453826 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:17:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, thank you, thank you ladies :)</p> <p>So a wee bit longer, to just come to the ankle bone sounds like the leading length contender.</p> <p>Just busy the rest of tonight but will re-pin tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453825 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 01:17:12 +0000 Suz 1453825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I can see are your <b>SHOES</b>!! Are they comfy? I found them in a local store and am SO tempted. I'm actually tempted by the black if you can believe....I don't have any black summer shoes and could use something dark to anchor a few outfits. But worry the high vamp will be stumpifying with skirts. Then again, I probably would wear mostly with pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am useless on lengths but I think with this type of footwear just above the ankle would work best.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453814 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:51:46 +0000 Anonymous 1453814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same. &nbsp;I'd pin them up right at your ankle bone, or just above. &nbsp;They'll also sit better without the actual cuff - which I realize is just for getting the length right. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453791 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:24:22 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1453791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Aida and Deborah. &nbsp;I think the flowy pant would be better longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453781 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:10:31 +0000 Deborah 1453781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also want them to be a little longer:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453779 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 00:06:22 +0000 Aida 1453779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the slightly longer length myself, particularly because it'll still work with flats. Curious what Angie thinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-pant-length-help-needed-pretty-please#post-1453774 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 23:59:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1453774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted a thread last week about turning my EF faux wrap pants into cropped ankle length instead (sorry - on my phone and can't link to that thread).</p> <p>I found the fabric of the EF pants a bit light in weight for our cold weather and layering tights underneath makes them cling like crazy. </p> <p>I also found the full length to make me feel a bit frumpy in these because of the soft fabric and drape - a bit pajamas-esque, you know?</p> <p>I think cropping them though and turning them into something akin to a silky track pant would work great for warmer weather and increase the likelihood of being worn. Plus adding that bit of ankle and lower calf skin adds structure.</p> <p>So I have loosely pinned the hems to the length I'm thinking of but would value your opinion on this. </p> <p>Is this a good length or should they be shorter or longer? Or will these pants not work at all with this alteration?</p> <p>Thanks in advance :)</p> <p>(And sorry for the not great pics - phone is all I have access to at the moment) </p>
