Am I considering committing a faux pas? </p> <p>Thanks, all. Both are straight leg (the grey are boot cut actually) but it's hard to pin them up with the slimmer leg that I'd alter them to before I actually cut off any fabric. I guess the lesson is that I'm going to have to just try it and see how it looks then to get a real idea. </p> <p>I'm torn; I don't want to wreck them. They're both too short for me but someone shorter could use them as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641531 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 23:12:02 +0000 Kari 641531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lot of us must be on the same wavelength - my thought too was that the grays would work better as clams *slightly* shorter (an inch or two) than the shortest length you have in this pic, and that the white pair would work great as knee length bermudas or walking shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641488 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 22:22:05 +0000 sarah 641488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shannon and cceile said: For the grey ones, I'd go shorter (actually just a titch higher than you've shown). For the white ones, they are too white to work as clam length. I suggest making those into bermudas. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641360 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:35:36 +0000 cciele 641360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gray look more tapered than the white (is that right?) -- I think the gray would work well midcalf (right). The white ones I actually think would work better bermuda length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641355 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:31:39 +0000 diane 641355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>on my 5-5 height I find if the crop is mid calf length, the style needs to be fitted or I look stubby. Straight leg does not work for me cropped. I like the knee length also, and am going to cut down some pants for that purpose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641353 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:31:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 641353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either mid calf as long as they're tapered, or to the knee like a Bermuda short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641351 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 20:30:23 +0000 AJ 641351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the higher length better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641306 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:22:12 +0000 Victoria 641306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did this with one pair I have-I think the most flattering lengh on most women is midcalf or thereabouts. Personally, I don't care about the "rule that shorter women shouldn't wear cropped pants" and wear them all the time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641273 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:43:54 +0000 Anna 641273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seeing crops that hit anywhere between the knee and ankle, so I'd just go with what you like! I know that cropped pants are popular, but have you given any thought to making them knee-length shorts? I'm short, so that's a more flattering look for me. But if you're taller, you can get away with the cropped look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/length-to-crop#post-641256 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:27:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 641256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to turn these two pair of jeans into crops. Do any of these lengths work? (ignoring the bulk of the pinned up length if possible) </p>
