I think they look good as they are on you, it's their style. They are supposed to look out-of-whack / funky / too short, and I like the look with these shoes. If I had your legs, I would certainly wear them like this. I have seen some people sport this style nicely with utility shirts, longer jackets (just like what you did) and fedoras. </p> <p>I wonder if tapering them won't destroy the cut. Clearly they are not made to be cigarette pants, but if you taper the leg, that is the look you kind of get, except with a seat that is too roomy. A kind of slightly slouchy cigarettes... IMO to look good as slouches, they would need to be even slouchier. </p> <p>So I wouldn't touch them and rock them as they are. Maybe your eye will get used to this fun, offbeat and androgynous style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-806479 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 01:45:21 +0000 lori l 806479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hm. i'll see how they look with the taper, and then judge the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-806355 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 21:46:21 +0000 Atlantia 806355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see how they look after spending time at the tailors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-806304 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 20:12:35 +0000 shoppingisfun 806304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, tailor!! Also they'd look better with some nude heels, or sandals imho. Love the color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-806222 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 17:28:29 +0000 Anonymous 806222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call, hope you love them even more. I wanted to add that using a belt that was as wide as the loops would be fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-806217 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 17:04:10 +0000 Sara Smile 806217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call! Definitely taper.</p> <p>I also wonder if the length is giving you trouble? I wonder how it would look with an inch more or so? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-806207 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 16:33:44 +0000 lori l 806207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, the pants are at the tailor. Since the fabric is not stretchy, he suggested putting an invisible zipper at the hem, so i can get them on/off easier. Hope it helps!<br /> Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-805882 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 22:35:09 +0000 Jewell 805882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree- taper the pant legs and pair with lighter footwear. That should do the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-805833 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 19:34:18 +0000 Amy 805833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, good call I'd definitely like to see the bottom tapered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-805806 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 17:40:37 +0000 lori l 805806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, i just read angie's post for today.<br /> i'm headed to the tailor. now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-805799 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 17:33:43 +0000 lori l 805799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the dark shoes cut my legs off too much.<br /> (yes, that's a dirty smudge on my mirror. dont judge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-to-tailor-these-pants#post-805798 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 17:32:22 +0000 lori l 805798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So i got a pair of red cropped pants, that i'm loving on everyone else. But i'm not loving on me.<br /> They're not loose enough to be slouchy pants. Does the bottom of the leg need to be tapered a bit? I think it looks a bit awkward, as it is. Maybe i'm just styling them all wrong?<br /> suggestions?</p> <p>(Taking photos of yourself is not as easy as i thought!) </p>
