Bootcuts and flares that are suppose to be <i>full length</i>. Tapered hems are a lot more length-forgiving.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894481 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 15:49:39 +0000 K.M. 1894481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b> and <b>unfrumped</b>, you have a point about the width. This is why I have so much trouble with straight-leg pants. I had a pair of ivory cords--I loved the fabric and color--and first I had it hemmed too long but because the opening wasn't wide, it didn't drape right--just had a funny fold. Then I tried hemming it shorter and it looked unflattering. Now I just don't buy any straight legs and baby bootcuts anymore.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894480 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 15:48:38 +0000 LaPed 1894480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the longest time I had a pair of bootcuts very much like this. It was a very subtle flare at the bottom, just a smidge wider than a straight leg.&nbsp; Like these, they always felt a bit off with any sort of heel but I loved them with flats, thin-soled sneakers and sandals.&nbsp;</p> <p>PPL with flares and bootcuts is especially tricky, because I find most pants "settle" over the course of a day's wear. I think most of my pants sit about half an inch lower at the end of the day vs when I put them on. With crops this isn't such a big deal but with full length pants it has given me some trouble matching shoe vamp/heel to pants inseam. Some day I'll measure and take photos to confirm this... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894476 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 15:38:20 +0000 Suz 1894476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boot cuts and flares too short, I assume, <b>Angie</b>?&nbsp;</p> <p>The one nice thing about skinnies and BF styles -- with crops still being stylish, you can choose to wear these styles full length, ankle length (rolled or cropped to that length) or in a higher crop/ roll. A bit more forgiving, that way.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, I'd prefer these longer. But I agree also with <b>unfrumped</b> that it might be difficult in this particular style because the boot cut is not very wide -- they might not fall well at a longer length.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894472 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 15:31:27 +0000 Angie 1894472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just saying that to my eye - most of you are wearing this style of jeans/pants too short!&nbsp; </p> <p>I am not Queen Pedantic About Lengths for nothing. *smiling*</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894448 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 14:52:21 +0000 LGS 1894448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too short! These are meant to be grazing just above the floor. &nbsp;They should cover a good part of the front of your boots (toe of boots sticking out) and the length in back should go almost to the very bottom of the heel on your boot. &nbsp;It will make these look a lot more current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894419 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 13:21:14 +0000 RobinF 1894419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like mine a touch longer. I would try them with flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894346 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 07:01:14 +0000 Jenni NZ 1894346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them the length they are Janet. I would wear them exactly like that. Partly so my shoes or boots can be seen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894314 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 03:11:16 +0000 unfrumped 1894314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the issue is that the bootcut is small so they are not wide enough at hem to cover a boot and nearly hit the floor. They are already breaking on the vamp. If pants are long and need hemming, it is possible to get an angled hem that falls lower in back. Otherwise you need to wear them with lower vamped flats so they fall over the top of foot and heel.<br /> I like some types of “ baby bootcuts “ but ironically find then they don’t work with boots, but need flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894313 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 03:10:47 +0000 JAileen 1894313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey you guys, thank you for your honest opinions. Obviously I asked this because I thought they “might” be on the short side. I’m going to try to post pictures of their overall fit as soon as I can. I do think flats or sneakers might work. </p> <p>Angie, I’ll post full length pics for fit evaluation ASAP.<br /> Karen, KM, thank you these insights. So very true.<br /> Liz, you’re probably right.<br /> TorontoGirl, Allison, JLPP, GiGi, Denise, Jill, thank you so much, but Angie has spoken.<br /> Rachy, thank you for a good laugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894303 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 02:31:09 +0000 Angie 1894303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, I need to see the way these jeans fit first.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894300 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 02:29:37 +0000 jill58 1894300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me they seem perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894289 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 02:11:55 +0000 K.M. 1894289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>karen13</b>, I'm smiling at what you wrote: <i>"I find once Angie points out nonPPL, you can’t unsee it."</i> This has happened to me SO MANY TIMES!!! :D&nbsp;</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, I think a decade ago we wouldn't have thought this was too short, but now the trend is pushing towards extra long. I do have one pair with a similar length if worn with low heels. I mostly wear it with flats so it skims the floor but on occasion (for practical needs) I wear it with heels like yours, for a similar effect. I do try my best but can't always pull off fab every day... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894288 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 01:59:16 +0000 karen13 1894288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend wear pants at this length for practical reasons, but they would look better a bit longer. If you like the fit everywhere else, maybe DIY release the hem. I did that on a pair and they look great. </p> <p>I find once Angie points out nonPPL, you can’t unsee it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894287 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 01:59:14 +0000 Denise 1894287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That length is perfect; any longer and they would not hang right in front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894268 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 01:09:38 +0000 rachylou 1894268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them that length. Gives me a feeling of comfort, lol. Yes, I confess to liking too short pants with flat heeled shoes... I think it has to do with urban life and being out on the street. I want to know that you can run if you need to, lolz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pant-length---are-these-ok#post-1894266 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 01:04:25 +0000 Gigi 1894266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my preferred length.

The pictured jeans are not baggy. But what about the length? I think they’re shorter than the other pair, but that might be just because the others were baggy. Are these the right length with these booties? </p>
