I'm not sure I like the "back puddle" in this look, always trying. It makes the shoes look too big.

(I'm not fussed on the bag colour but can't decide what I would prefer.) Best wishes and I hope you enjoy the look. tulle on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1555680 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 05:26:03 +0000 tulle 1555680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There don't seem to be many pant-length rules these days--or if there are, I can't figure them out!  You can let your eye be your guide:  if you love the way your pants look with certain boots or shoes, the length is probably fine; if you feel that something is a bit off, you'd better try something else.  It's the in-between ones that are really tricky--you know, that "This is exactly how the model was wearing her pants with these shoes, but they look different on me" feeling?  That, in my experience, usually means there is a proportion problem.  As Cocolion said, it's all in the details.

Nice colors, the nude works great with the burgundy. The only thing that kind of bugs me is that the pants should be just a bit shorter, they bulk a little around the ankle.

It definitely looks more than ok! It is looking good! Only thing that seems a lil off to me is the bag! I think the bag and shoes must go together and the same color/shade as much as possible!

But then again, ankle pants are a look that I just can't wrap my head around. We were taught for so long that highwater pants were a bad thing, and now the only question is how high the flood will be? I just can't.

Don't mind that hem length with the heels. Now this will not look so sleek if the shoes didn't have a heel. But with these very classic pumps and classy handbag, the look works.

I love the color of the pants, but I'd personally take the hem a tad bit higher just to expose the back of the shoe. Brooklyn on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552742 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 23:36:30 +0000 Brooklyn 1552742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Denise - I don't mind some puddling. Even though it is pretty slight here. I like the whole look a lot in terms of both colour combo and pant style and length but I would probably wear booties (with a lower heel) rather than high heel pumps. Cerinda on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552739 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 23:32:36 +0000 Cerinda 1552739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The contrarian here:  I'm all of a sudden tired of my rolled straight legs and skinnies; puddles of every size and shape look interesting.  But I'm not seeing it much on the street yet.

Right or wrong, at least I know I don't have highwaters again. Seriously, though, I do like the look.

In fact, I have worn my AG Tomboy jeans like this -- they are just *barely* long enough to wear this way over my lowest heel boots, and the effect is quite like that picture. I'm kind of happy to see it coming around as a trend. CocoLion on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552694 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:23:56 +0000 CocoLion 1552694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes Janet I do think it refers to a wider hemline.  I guess in the picture I think it works. unfrumped on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552693 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:21:03 +0000 unfrumped 1552693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have worn this scrunches look with loafers because I like it. Don't wear any pumps like this, but I think the heavier pant material and scrunching don't work as well with this dressy heel. Janet on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552692 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:20:30 +0000 Janet 1552692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do you think that qualifies as "puddling" Denise? From the photo they showed on Shopbop, I got the impression that refers to a wider leg. CocoLion on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552690 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:18:29 +0000 CocoLion 1552690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Puddling hemlines is a fringe trend that I'm excited about.  Just as a break from all of the cropped-ness.  So I'm fine with this look, aside from the high heels which I wouldn't wear. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.shopbop.com/ci/4/lb/fall2015/fall-pants-styles-081915.html#page=4">https://www.shopbop.com/ci/4/l.....tml#page=4</a> ETA-- just read Janet's comment and I agree scrunching can look bad.  But I think that's with a skinnier leg.  The devil, as always, is in the details. Janet on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552689 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:18:15 +0000 Janet 1552689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd need to see the front view before saying. I've tried on some straight-leg-pants-and-shoe combinations before that look wrong because there is a combination of a slightly too wide leg plus a little too much scrunch at the hem, and the effect is such that the pants leg poofs out a little bit at the ankle and then scrunches around the top of the foot. It ruins the nice sleek line. I solve this sometimes by rolling the hems rather than wearing them full-length. As for the color, I think it can work nicely if the top half of the outfit has something lighter colored. I prefer darker shoes with dark pants, but that's a matter of personal preference. Gigi on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552688 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:12:20 +0000 Gigi 1552688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like this look in general, but like Suz, I would wear ankle pants with it. I think that the nude shoes work because they are the same color as the top, so they are tied in with the overall color scheme. Suz on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552685 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:07:32 +0000 Suz 1552685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it works because the shoes are "bookended" by the light sweater. We can't see the woman's hair but perhaps it echoes the bag or the pants. I would probably hem those pants myself -- I would like them ankle length with that type of shoe, not that I would be wearing a heel like that. ha!  Jenn on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552674 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 19:16:55 +0000 Jenn 1552674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it looks great. I, personally, wouldn't wear heels like that with such a casual look but that's my own style, not because it doesn't it. always trying on "Is this an OK look?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-an-ok-look#post-1552673 Sun, 06 Sep 2015 19:11:56 +0000 always trying 1552673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am referring to the shoes with the pants. first off the nude with the darker colored pants.  are the shoes too light in color for the burgundy? But mostly is this length and width and the slight bunching a look you would wear?  I have purged my straight leg jeans that were too wide at the bottom, but have some dressy and non denim that look much like these that I have not purged.  Mostly as one pair are very nice olive Michael Kors, and the other are a great fitting charcoal.  I have only worn the MK with tall boots as they seemed not to look "right" with anything else.  The charcoal I have worn only with a pair of heeled booties.  I would like to extend the wear of these bottoms but do not know what or how to do that.
