I do agree that the shoe is intended to show and be intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185930 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 17:38:53 +0000 sarah 2185930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Jonesy</b>, *waving hello* right back.

I want them. </p> <p>I’d definitely pin them and let her try them on to get some feedback before you hem them. Also, maybe she could do a google image search and give you some photos of what she has in mind for length. A lot of it will depend on the type of shoe she wants to wear them with, and whether a bit of visible ankle is cool or not-cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185919 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:54:08 +0000 rachylou 2185919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d do some pin-ups first. I find the reality of a given pair pants and preferred shoe may change one’s mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185912 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:44:48 +0000 smittie 2185912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Learned something today! Thanks for asking the question, Sarah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185910 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:37:46 +0000 Jonesy 2185910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to wave hello! I have nothing to add about the proper length but I wonder if the first pair might be cool simply hacked (not hemmed) since they seem like they are denim? (unless said kid doesn't like the idea of frayed hems) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185905 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 15:57:56 +0000 sarah 2185905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div><b>Angie</b> and <b>Kelly</b> to the rescue!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you!

Kind of an inbetween length. I think to look intentional it will have to be shorter. That's just my opinion though. It would be helpful to see them on with footwear. You're such a thoughtful mom!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185899 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 15:50:38 +0000 Angie 2185899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! Nice ‘80s vibe. You are a supportive Mama, and I expected nothing less </p> <p>Try the new shorter full length. Will find the post. On my phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hem-lengths-for-my-teens-streetstyle-pants#post-2185896 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 15:47:33 +0000 sarah 2185896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe I'm fretting over this, but I need advice about hemming these pants for my 15-year old. She is quite petite, like me, and I am uncertain of the desired length. She is experimenting with her style, and all I can think of to describe it is "gender non-binary boho streetstyle". She will wear these with sneakers. Would you hem these just above the ground, say 1/2", with her shoes on? I'm trying to be a supportive mom and let her explore fashion her way, but I feel like I'm in unchartered waters here. Thanks for any advice. </p>
