I look the look as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831594 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 11:05:41 +0000 skylurker 1831594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit on you. I wouldn't bother hemming, I don't mind narrow jeans stacking on shoes, but apparently you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831581 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 10:22:02 +0000 kkards 1831581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmmm...ok, conclusion, as i suspect ---hem....the SA at the boutique that i bought them at suggested that i didn't really need to hem, but i knew in my gut that was not right...the struggle is at what lenght, and now i worry that the slim staight leg may make this difficult....will have to take to my tailor and see....sigh, techically my tailor is wonderful, but fashion wise, not the best.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831512 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 02:45:44 +0000 Ledonna N. 1831512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit. Hem but not to much or you will loose the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831496 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 02:25:50 +0000 barbaraq 1831496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely still too long. &nbsp;They should fall directly from the knee to whatever length you decide you want them &nbsp;I &nbsp;think this is difficult because so much depends on the shank of your boot and whether there is enough width at the leg circumference. &nbsp;Or do you want them above the shank itself, more of a cropped look? &nbsp;I have tussled with this issue myself, and have come to the conclusion that one length does not fit all shoe styles. You have to pick. &nbsp;Bummer when they are jeans you really love and want to be versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831429 Sun, 30 Jul 2017 22:02:14 +0000 lozz_oz 1831429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jenny - still too much fabric - I think they need to be shortened further to eliminate the wrinkles. I don't mind the contrast cuff. Can you perhaps do another photo post? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831404 Sun, 30 Jul 2017 20:07:41 +0000 Jenni NZ 1831404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are too wrinkly over the knees, you can really see that in the close-ups. To me, that means they are still too long because they won't sit unwrinkled? I may not be correct and may need more knowledgeable Fabbers to weigh in. My preference is for them turned under, rather than cuffed. Great shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831358 Sun, 30 Jul 2017 15:45:17 +0000 Joyce B 1831358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans fit you very nicely. I will leave the advice on the hem to others as I am always thinking if I shorten too much my legs will get cold... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hemming-and-hawing#post-1831344 Sun, 30 Jul 2017 14:52:19 +0000 kkards 1831344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>need some advice/guidance on hemming...</p> <p>we moved to a "dress for your day" dress code for the summer...ie casual and jeans (no rips/tears/distressing) are ok most days...and we think it will continue this fall. so i've been thinking about my denim collection and expanding it....yesterday i picked up these great high waisted straight leg jeans at a great price....they fit really well, except i'm not sure that the lenght should be.....i've tucked one leg up and cuffed the other and tried them with a variety of booties...and the pictures just got me more confused...hem? don't hem? are the just to long and when hemmed them won't work? if hem, at what lenght?&nbsp;<br />TIA </p>
