And I have very high waist. This means 36" inseam is my minimum jeans length and I have a pair of bootcuts&nbsp;with 38" for higher heels.<br /><br />kcs, tapering the hems may not work because it would show on the hem too much. I can't quite explain but the side hem reminds me of the old Levi's 501 and you could easily be able to tell from which point such hem is tapered. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889400 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:13:26 +0000 Ornella 889400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wise words Inge, I'll give the idea a go.<br /><br />Photos will be posted&nbsp;tomorrow, taken&nbsp;using daylight https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889392 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:10:22 +0000 Marigold 889392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them! Please try them on with various booties and post pictures! I am curious (hope you do not mind), how tall are you? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889390 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:09:07 +0000 K. Period. 889390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OOOOOoooh! Super cute.&nbsp;<br /><br />I think 1" above the floor would work for straight legs, especially with flat shoes. &nbsp;No possibility of pictures? &nbsp;<br /><br />Really really want to make them work? You can have the side seams taken in a tiny bit to&nbsp;make them a little bit closer to a skinny, which would definitely work at 1" above the floor. (Thought I'd throw that out as an option.)&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889389 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:08:52 +0000 Inge 889389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had a feeling&nbsp;you would have&nbsp;the hems covered:-) (I do the same thing with all my trousers and jeans)<br /><br />OK, and if you try "leaning" the hems on the opening of your booties and ankle boots (I'm not explaining this very eloquently, sorry). Because they are straight legs I think you might be able to get some extra scrunch that way?<br /><br />Also: do post a pic of you wearing them with the oxfords. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889383 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:04:42 +0000 Ornella 889383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Inge, not at all. I check the inner hems first, it's my second nature.<br /><br />They are straight, btw. And not much scrunch left when I put them on. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889376 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:00:46 +0000 Scarlet 889376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well they would show off cute shoes/booties nicely. The ankle looks very tapered, so it might look okay. Obviously tucking into any boot is a good option. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889374 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 21:00:01 +0000 DonnaF 889374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wait, are these bootcuts or not?&nbsp; Bootcuts and wide legs need to be PPL, but straight legs really don't have the capability of being PPL since the foot makes them scrunch.&nbsp; The photo makes them look like straight legs. . .<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889363 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:47:42 +0000 Inge 889363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is there any way the seam can be let out even a little bit, Ornella, it can make a difference...<br /><br />I bet these jeans will look fab with your black lace-up booties too, in fact with any bootie or ankle boot: you'll have a nice bit of scrunch, which I love.<br /><br />Have you tried rolling them up to mid-calf (maybe there's too much fabric, but worth a try)? That way they might work with the taupe oxfords as well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889357 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:30:33 +0000 Ornella 889357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are by sOliver,&nbsp;über-fab German brand https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889355 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:28:38 +0000 Anonymous 889355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, what are they, I like them a lot! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/call-for-help-must-make-these-work#post-889354 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:27:06 +0000 Ornella 889354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My n-th thread today, sorry. I promise&nbsp;to slow down :-D</p> <p>I like these&nbsp;and they had them in the longest length available so I ordered a pair. Even the 36" inseam is hit-and-miss, some can work,&nbsp;so it was&nbsp;worth a try.</p> <p>They arrived today and they are 1 inch above the ground, i.e. not PPL. They are straight in style, btw.&nbsp;I feel deflated. These can still be worn with the boots, right?&nbsp;But, could they somehow be made to work any other way? </p> <p>In terms of non-boots footwear,&nbsp;I&nbsp;have taupe oxfords and black lace-up oxford booties.</p> <p>I am in love with the pocket detailing and would want to keep these regardless of&nbsp;my jeans situation bordering desperate. And the fabric is beautiful.&nbsp;I really, really want to make these work. Any styling ideas?</p> <p>K/R photos tomorrow hopefully, it's evening here and not the best light in my&nbsp;place&nbsp;for taking photos. </p>
