I do like it though, because I feel it differentiates them from jeggings/leggings (much more fitted in my mind, so not as much scrunch) and balances out the upper body better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638582 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:10:27 +0000 Aida 638582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely personal preference. I tend to go with a lot partially because I'm short, and partially because I have slim ankles and it helps to have a little volume added there to balance my IT shoulders. But I have and wear slim jeans/pants with all three levels: super duper scrunched, scrunched, and not scrunched :)</p> <p>(You can see all those lengths in my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0529-0601">WIW post for this week</a>, actually. #3 is super, #1 is normal, and #4 is none.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638294 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:41:29 +0000 christieanne 638294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your observations! I like some scrunch too so when I stumble on jeans without it, it just seems odd on me. I do have one pair without scrunch and I think they are leg shortening and I never wear them. They may be my candidate for clams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638269 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:10:33 +0000 Reneeb 638269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like a little scrunch but too much makes be look shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638262 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:03:05 +0000 lyn* 638262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love scrunch, it makes my ankles look smaller! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638256 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:57:52 +0000 Diana 638256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer some scrunch to add some volume at the ankle because my ankles are very skinny and my calves are not. Some volume at the ankle balances that out a bit and, perhaps counterintuitively, actually makes a nicer, straighter, longer line. </p> <p>My vince skinnies have no scrunch and I have to admit I hardly ever wear them with non-boot shoes because I don't like the line they make. Yesterday I wore them with booties which were just high enough to mask the fact that the hem feels too short to me. The shorter skinnies are a lot easier to tuck into boots though since there's less fabric to deal with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638205 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:18:48 +0000 Anonymous 638205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ditto Jonesy and Angie. I like scrunch and for all the same reasons!</p> <p>Edited: Added a photo of my scrunch from my WIW last week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638191 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:03:38 +0000 Angie 638191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Jonesy said. Good observation! </p> <p>Also, I like the textural outfit effect of a scrunch. My outfits are so simple and minimal that the right amount of scrunch is all important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638189 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 14:00:27 +0000 Jonesy 638189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like a decent amount of scrunch, because I think it helps to balance out my upper half/shoulders (vs. the ice cream cone effect). I like the "weight" of the scrunch on the bottom.</p> <p>ETA a pic of what a "decent amount" looks like to me :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638188 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:59:10 +0000 Angie 638188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a personal preference - there is no right or wrong. Some like their jeans to fit just over the ankle without any scrunch - I think bj1111 prefers it that way. </p> <p>I like a lot of scrunch! I won't buy skinnies and straight legs unless they scrunch just how much I want them too. See below: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638138 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:51:58 +0000 Janet 638138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not by choice, my skinny jeans have very little if any scrunch, and they seem to pass Angie's muster. I think because they fit so close to the leg, almost anything goes unless it's leg warmer excessive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638135 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:48:02 +0000 Suz 638135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has some posts on this and we've discussed it before so you might search the archives for some images. </p> <p>I think she feels it's a personal preference, and also depends some on the cut of the jean (some skinnies being wider in the leg than others). </p> <p>Some people like a lot of scrunch, some a little, and some none. I prefer a little to none, but still PPL - which means covering that ankle bone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638097 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:52:22 +0000 Deborah 638097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My skinny jeans scrunch but I'm short and sometimes can't bothered having my jeans hemmed:). I think it's ok to wear them with or without scrunch, just depends on your preference. If the scrunch resembles leg warmers on the lower half of the leg then I think is a fair assessment that that's too much lol. Have you had time to take a look at some of Angie's jeans outfit picks ? I think used these as my guide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638078 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:39:06 +0000 fashionista 638078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not like so much of scrunches to my skinnies since, it tends to shorten my leg, that's my perception and also I do not wear so much heels. I do not follow the age old rules, just make the length flattering to my petite height and also flattering to my ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638077 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:30:43 +0000 Kirti 638077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own skinnies with and without scrunch as as they are PPL, I think both are okay. What I dislike is seeing too much scrunch. :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638067 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 09:45:01 +0000 ramya 638067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not an expert waiting for the reply... I donot know abt it but I see quite a few ppl wear their skinnies with hardly any scrunch too....</p> <p>Does it defy PPL???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-much-scrunch-on-skinny-jeans#post-638017 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:12:06 +0000 christieanne 638017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you know when you have the right amount of scrunch on skinny jeans? And if you don't have enough, do you make clams out of them? I tried some on that I liked but I think the scrunch wasn't visible enough. </p>
