I’m doing wide cuffs on my straight jeans, and a narrow roll on my skinnier ones. My (self) hacked jeans served me well, but have been retired due to backside wear and tear. My white jeans have raw hems, but one pair is like your jeans - long enough to cuff the hem wide (reveals raw hem) or narrow (raw hem becomes tucked into roll). </p> <p>I still see lots of raw hemmed jeans in Street Style reports, but I’ve milked that trend for two years solid, and I’m ready to move on. I’m also feeling a desire to move away from jeans, but that’s just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078662 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 21:26:45 +0000 slim cat 2078662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078658 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 21:14:06 +0000 notsaf 2078658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078657 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 21:12:27 +0000 Helena 2078657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Np!

Maybe: try a wide cuff. If you like it, keep it. If not, chop to 1" above the ankle. If you like it, keep it. If not, hem up an inch? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078300 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 20:40:03 +0000 rachylou 2078300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them long... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078299 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 20:32:34 +0000 Anonymous 2078299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! &nbsp;Well, I am wearing a new pair from the Gap today too, despite my big statement about not needing anymore jeans this year .

I didn't hem them simply because I am non-committal and may want to change hem length for a taller heel shoe.... I like the look of a wide cuff, especially if I want to highlight my boot.</p> <p>I have also chopped a couple of pairs of skinny and BF jeans for a raw hem; I shoot for around one or two finger widths above my ankle bone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078280 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 19:43:22 +0000 Sal 2078280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar dilemma with a pair of straight jeans.&nbsp; I almost gave them a raw edge a couple of weeks ago.&nbsp; In the end I am keeping them long....&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote either keep them long or chop them - I am a bit off cuffs at the moment and like the long line of them without a cuff.</p> <p>Whatever you decide the jeans are a great fit on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078278 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 19:39:52 +0000 Anonymous 2078278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote wide cuff or raw hem.

That's my new thing these days. I haven't had great luck with hacking the straight legs--they tend to look "home made" or maybe it's my poor hacking skills. Getting the length just right is problematic for me too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078273 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 19:09:36 +0000 Helena 2078273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, slimcat, those look good!

Like Kut from the Kloth Cameron Cuffed Straight-leg jeans. Sorry - no picture, still figuring how to do it . It’s on Macy’s website. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078267 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:47:03 +0000 slim cat 2078267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have same struggle with my straight jeans. I cut one pair but got tired/bored of unfinished hem, plus it flares out ever so slightly - so I put a trim over it ( by hand, time consuming ) and like it better that way. Cuffed is still preferred style for me - and you have legs to work it out ( and cute boots to show off ). Hemming is a good option to even out length as well ( same problem with some of mine ), especially if you have a few pairs of straight leg jeans ( I have 4 - including one with a trim ).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ppl-for-these-jeans-and-hackhemcuff#post-2078259 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 18:27:22 +0000 Helena 2078259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie and anyone else good with PPL!</p> <p>What say you of these slim-straight jeans? I do enjoy a crop, but not sure what PPL would be to look modern as per today's blog post - or should I keep them long (which I feel look a bit boring but maybe not)? (annoyingly, the legs has a slight asymmetry in the length, a defect I did not notice at the time of purchase - but it's not noticeable until I try to cuff them and have to fuss to make them look even).</p> <p>And - would you hack them and leave a raw edge, which I see more and more commonly? Or hem them? Or cuff them so that I can change them?</p> <p>Thanks Angie et al! </p>
