I like them because they’re stretchy, inexpensive, and come in a long length (I’m 5’10”). The long length fits me like the picture, but I am not loving the way they “break” in the front. </p> <p>Signature by Levi Strauss &amp; Co.

There are many lengths, AND many widths of straight leg.&nbsp;The lengths of jeans vary greatly and EVERY length is on trend at this point. The footwear you wear with them is a variable too. (Dead right!)&nbsp;</p> <p>There are floor sweeping lengths with mega scrunch. There are shorter and safer versions that are full length. There is the new shorter full length that skims the vamp of the shoe and doesn’t have a break-line. The point is to showcase footwear. And many versions of cropped lengths that range from one to six inches above the ankle bone. Two inches above the ankle bone tends to be a sweet spot.</p> <p>So show me your straight legs - in a link is fine - and I will help you find your sweet spot with footwear!</p> <p>(LOVELY to see you on YLF again.

I got so used to skinny jeans that my "proper pants lenght" straight leg jeans look a little bunchy on the top of my foot, even though the hem is at the proper place in back.</p> <p>I suppose the proper hem length varies with the type of shoe as well... </p>
