I think you’ll be happy with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209566 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 21:51:08 +0000 Irene 2209566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello!! I decided to keep the longer ones for practical reasons and because they might also decrease in length over time (or if I put them in the dryer). Thanks all for the help, it's been very useful to hear everyone's opinions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209453 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 09:59:36 +0000 lyn67 2209453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both, waiting to get your answer from our PPL expert, Angie!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209448 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 09:37:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2209448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there. Both look great, but I have voted Yay for longer length as being more versatile and practical and can be cuffed or rolled. I also feel that we’ve been having the “new shorter full length”- Angie wrote a post on it- for almost 4 years now, how much longer can it last?!<br /> I only own one pair of jeans now and they are cropped. It’s winter here in NZ and they’re too cold to wear- I only have one pair of high shaft boots which are a bit high for everyday use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209423 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 02:56:21 +0000 Gigi 2209423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter ones.</p> <p>I find that sometimes knowing the model's height creates more questions than it answers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209422 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 02:53:55 +0000 notsaf 2209422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shorter ones with bare ankles and boots both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209410 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 00:36:24 +0000 Jaime 2209410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the longer makes more sense and agree with the above about cuffing etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209409 Tue, 13 Jul 2021 00:16:44 +0000 bj1111 2209409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with @janet and @kkards.</p> <p>With longer length, nothing to stop you from cuffing out or inward to wear short </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209322 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 16:48:10 +0000 Irene 2209322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think because they are also a bit loose (they almost look a bit big on me), I will try wash them in hot water and see if that shrinks them to the right size. I don't want to size down as I have a very sensitive waist and struggle with jeans that are tight around that area, so I'd rather they fit a little bit loose... I feel like Goldilocks here.</p> <p>I'm also a bit confused that when they list the model's height and size, they are usually 10-15cm taller than me yet the 30' looks as long on them as it looks on me? Almost?&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209319 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 16:32:14 +0000 kkards 2209319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re shrinking —back in the day when i worked for the Gap, we were told that generally its 1/4 of an inch or less if you follow the washing and drying instructions.</p> <p>i like the longer, expect in the final set were i like the shorter one&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209310 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 15:34:11 +0000 Anonymous 2209310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter length best with both the sneakers and the boots, don't think it's going to look "out" anytime soon, and have actually found it to be surprisingly practical in cooler, wetter weather.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209308 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 15:16:55 +0000 slim cat 2209308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter ones - especially with boots. If you have high tops or pretty small patterned socks - would be nice combinations.<br />Of course if you run cold most of the time - go for a longer ones ( just roll them when you want shorter looks ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209306 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 15:11:55 +0000 Janet 2209306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, you can always hem the longer ones later if you feel they need an adjustment. The shorter ones can’t get longer, unless you are into releasing the hems and embracing that look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209293 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 14:28:00 +0000 rachylou 2209293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the longer too… but it’s a tough call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209278 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 13:43:50 +0000 Irene 2209278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so far it's a tie lol<br />I have to admit I think cropped jeans with socks and boots can look cute, but I do want these to stay current for a few years (provided my body doesn't change a lot in that time).&nbsp;<br />I also fear these will shrink in the wash and then the shorter version will be too short... it's literally 2 inches of a difference, so maybe I should keep the longer ones and wash them at hottish temperature to get them just right.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209268 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 13:02:54 +0000 RobinF 2209268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the shorter length with the sneakers and longer with the boots - maybe hem to the longer length with the option to cuff? I would definitely wash before hemming though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209262 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:18:15 +0000 Nitsirk 2209262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the shorter ones. They do look more modern to my eye. I live in Canada and can and do make the cropped length work in winter w boots and a tonal sock. Love the bright coloured tee! Hope the opinions you get help you with your decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209261 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:16:10 +0000 Janet 2209261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the longer one (but I realize I often zig when the forum zags on cropped lengths). I feel like the length can always be cuffed or rolled, but I like the option of having a full length that works too. I think the shorter version looks just a little too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209259 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 12:10:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2209259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorter ones do look more trendy to my eye.&nbsp; I guess it depends how much wear you want from them.&nbsp; I keep my cropped jeans out only from May to September.&nbsp; If you want to wear them all year round rolling them in warmer months will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-choose-my-levis-length#post-2209239 Mon, 12 Jul 2021 10:59:04 +0000 Irene 2209239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA:&nbsp;</p> <p>Longer = YAY</p> <p>Shorter = NAY</p> <p></p> <p>I know it's been years since I last posted, and that's mostly because I have become less interested in fashion in the last few years, but I now need to choose between 2 lengths of jeans and I have tried them enough times now that it's time to decide and return one of them. Some relevant information:</p> <p>Height: 1.65cm (5.5")<br />Jeans: 27/28 and 27/30<br />Levi's model: 501 crop (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/clothing/women/501-levis-crop-jeans/p/362000085">https://www.levi.com/GB/en_GB/...../362000085</a>)</p> <p>Context: I live in the UK, where summer is just not a real thing, it's a gift that we get for maybe a week or two at a time, so these need to work with boots and potentially socks.&nbsp;</p> <p>The shorter length looks fantastic with my sandals, but I don't get to wear sandals much, so... what do I go for? I feel like the longer length looks a bit meh, whereas the shorter ones look a bit more modern and more flattering, but at this point I don't know anymore. Also on the website all the models wear it shorter than either of those fit me?</p> <p>And, finally, how much will they shrink in the wash, especially in length?</p> <p>In the photos, the one on the left is always the longer one, either rolled up or down. </p> </p> <p>Thanks in advance for the help!</p>
