But you <i>do</i> need to understand the cropped denim silhouette and its variations. I tried the Pilcro cropped jeans and they overwhelmed me. They are wide all over. You might want to try these for comparison. Sleeker.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flare-length-help#post-1606204 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 19:19:52 +0000 catgirl 1606204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So do you think I should return these and aim for something different? This is branching out for me and I don't want to start off wrong since styling these is also a tricky area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flare-length-help#post-1606201 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 19:14:49 +0000 Angie 1606201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, Una. Cropped straight legs are more streamlined from the knee down than this style of jeans. You will not get the same effect by hemming them. (I am JUST the person to split hairs about cropped pants silhouettes and lengths because I am very, very particular about how they fit and are styled!) &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flare-length-help#post-1606174 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 18:09:07 +0000 catgirl 1606174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! #1 is my favorite too. I knew the regular lengtj would be too long. </p> <p>Angie, I tried cropped skinnies, but found that they just looked like regular skinnies that are tucked in. With the hemming I need to do, these will end up like straights - as I think Viva said when she posted, they aren't all that flared to begin with (people complained about this on Anthro but I thought it was a plus). I would like to wear these in summer as well. Need to try with more boots and shoes. </p> <p>Appreciate the collective eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flare-length-help#post-1606134 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:29:03 +0000 kkards 1606134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>struggling with the same issue….i liked #1 best, and am thrilled that i got it right (i.e. that was Angie's pick!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flare-length-help#post-1606114 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 16:09:04 +0000 Bonnie 1606114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pants and #1 looks best to me.

I am wondering if you will wear them in warm weather without boots? (I also have these but have been wearing them with a bit lower shaft boot as I don't have a high shaft that works for every day and think I might have to hem them for the summer wear.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cropped-flare-length-help#post-1606017 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 12:54:54 +0000 viva 1606017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely 1/2.
