But you <i>have to </i>get the details right - lengthen the leg line with the right high-vamped and ankle strap&nbsp;footwear, and/or tuck your top for extra visual leg length. You might also need to&nbsp;add rolled cuffs for structure, and shorten the length of certain pant styles if you aren't tall.&nbsp;</p> <p>And just to be crystal clear - some cropped pant styles worn in a certain way&nbsp;at a certain length will always be poison eye to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-length-2k15-edition#post-1462035 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 21:15:41 +0000 approprio 1462035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question. I'm hemming (and hawing over) a pair of wide-legged jeans to wear at a shorter length&nbsp;this summer. I often wear pants just shy of my ankles, so I have a little experience* with this.&nbsp;I usually cuff them so that I have the option on wearing them long or short.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try experimenting with the pants you have and your shoe collection. Mess about in front of the mirror, turning up the hem on the inside or the outside to get a feel for what looks best.&nbsp;Cuffing jeans is a good place to start. Or buy a packet of pins and try pinning hems at different lengths.&nbsp;In my opinion there's no right or wrong way, just the way that suits your legs and your shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>* Disclaimer: I'll probably be back here with the exact same question about my jeans a week from now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-length-2k15-edition#post-1462004 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 20:25:40 +0000 Thistle 1462004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a clue as PPL regularly eluded me.</p> <p>I have sworn off most other lengths, to be honest. I regularly feel like ankle pants are just too hard to get right and make look intentional rather than I accidentally shopped in the petite's section :)</p> <p>I am hoping someone more knowledgeable will chime in.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-length-2k15-edition#post-1461855 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 16:07:23 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1461855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie? Anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-length-2k15-edition#post-1461388 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 19:30:01 +0000 carter 1461388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question, Laura! I ran into this quite a bit yesterday, so I'm looking forward to some guidelines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-length-2k15-edition#post-1461341 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 18:20:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1461341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so it seems like all the usual PPL rules have been thrown out the window with recent trends. There are ankle length pants, both skinnier and wider in the leg, and a lot of cuffing, again with all leg widths, and a lot of lengths that previously Angie would have called not PPL. Can someone help me synthesize what's in and what's out, and what I should be looking for in new pieces?</p> <p>Obviously measurements will vary by person, but just a fer'instance: I'm 5'9" and need a 32" inseam minimum for full length pants, preferably 33" if I want to be able to wear them with shoes that aren't totally flat. When I've tried in 29-30" length pants, labeled ankle length, they just look like regular pants that are a bit too short. Do I need to go shorter, 28" ish? 25-26" starts getting into Capri territory. </p>
