Those Cole Haans are so fun in the flash photos. Great looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1191450 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:09:17 +0000 April 1191450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for that level of detail, Shiny -- exactly the kind of specific input that I find really helpful. &nbsp;I had originally asked the tailor to taper these to 12" at the cuff, but when I picked them up she told me that that would have made them taper too rapidly from the knee, so instead she tapered to 14" at the cuff to keep the proportions right. &nbsp;Probably good, since 12" might have made them impossible to roll at all.</p> <p>I'll try pegging them a bit more next time.</p> <p>So now I have&nbsp;"relaxed skinnies." &nbsp;So funny, since these started as some sort of super-long bootcuts.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1191359 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:45:41 +0000 Jaime 1191359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is fantastic from the bfs to your glowing loafers. Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1191293 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:37:43 +0000 Suz 1191293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic jeans on you. I agree with Angie -- relaxed skinnies, and brilliant ones, at that. I love all the shoe options. And your loafers are TO DIE FOR.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1191264 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:20:23 +0000 shiny 1191264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*also going to add that raw denim is HUGE trend around Boston crowd&nbsp;lately, and I've &nbsp;probably been influenced by it. I've been meaning to start a thread on that.&nbsp;It's super trendy in some crowds here to wear raw denim jeans that are cuffed long (no skin showing)&nbsp;and showing the selvedge. The trick apparently is to cuff long so there's some drapey scrunch,&nbsp;so you get cool whiskering as the jeans age. Anyway, just a side note to why my own particular eye may be preferring what it's preferring lately. I have thought too overly much about "proper" cuff width for my height/proportions. I'm going to suggest you might try cuffing yours just a tiny bit more narrow - may better&nbsp;suit your delicate ankles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1191257 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:16:20 +0000 rae 1191257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the outfits look so good!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1191254 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:12:26 +0000 shiny 1191254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome and the jeans and all the shoes are killer!</p> <p>I'm the odd man out on this, I suppose, but personally I prefer cuffing lower when wearing heeled booties. No skin showing. Cuff just barely overlapping where bootie meets skin. I actually think it is more leg-lengthening, especially with dark footwear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Whereas with loafers and your tigers and pumps and other shoes, then yeah you want to roll it high, like you have done&nbsp;here. Perfection.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's just with the (non-cutout, heavier, winter, darker)&nbsp;booties, my eye thinks longer cuff works better. I often don't even cuff and leave the BF's full length (mine are way baggier than yours). Or just cuff it enough to show off the bootie, but no skin. It's not even the seasonally confused/practical aspect. I actually think it gives a longer leg look. I have played around with it a lot. Then again, maybe I'm just sensitive to wearing lower rises than I normally do? So I'm needing the jean leg to go longer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1190970 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 22:14:33 +0000 Lisa 1190970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans look great with all foot options.&nbsp; And so happy to hear married life is going well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1190954 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 22:00:49 +0000 Angie 1190954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And it's a great nod.

I like all these versions, but admit to really liking the one with the booties. It could be the bookending that is drawing me, or it could be the still cold and snowy weather. I have a tough time with rolled boyfriends and booties...you, however, can really pull it off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1190834 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 20:18:27 +0000 April 1190834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, every pair of&nbsp;"real" boyfriends I tried&nbsp;made me feel like I was drowning in fabric&nbsp;and made me look like I was standing in a hole (standing in a hole in ill-fitting jeans) so I cheated. &nbsp;These are just tattered jeans I found in the consignment shop and had hemmed. &nbsp;</p> <p>Hey la hey la -- whatever it takes... &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1190792 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:41:36 +0000 catgirl 1190792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that song is stuck in my head!&nbsp; They are all fun looks and I think that is because they are a bit of a skinnier fit for BFs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boyfriends-back-from-the-tailor-and-youre-gonna-be-in-trouble#post-1190790 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 19:39:59 +0000 Anonymous 1190790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, they all work for me April.
