So that works best with certain pant hem width such slight boot cut ; occasionally a straight.<br /> This is not the original Oxford craze look with rolled or cropped pants but I had trouble , despite loving oxfords for my feet, liking how they look on me with ankle pants. The key for me is to style this pant- shoe look with a more feminine top and jacket style. I can also use sheer knee- highs with some.<br /> This is not everyone's cup of tea but I like it. A slimmer- fitting, slight Bootcut is a good pant style for me( not my only choice, but I try to keep a couple of versions on the go) and I don't always want to wear an ankle boot.<br /> Some of my pairings are " planned serendipity" based on coming across a comfortable but refined Oxford and the right pants.<br /> I think I am very particular about my feet&amp; legs " look" in the final outfit and maybe that limits me. I know it when I see it!<br /> I recently found a pair of PG shooties at Nordstrom Rack that I found work great with cropped pants, where my oxfords and loafers did not,<br /> and so that has revived that whole option for me for fall. Something about the vamp, smooth fit and slight heel is less clunky, but still a good bit of shoe, so they balance my pear shape in slightly tapered ankle pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-mini-flares#post-1703300 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 02:42:33 +0000 Keix 1703300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go by the ankle measurement on flares. Figure out what size flare you like, in inches, and then see if hemming X amount will get you to that size or greater.</p> <p>Functionally it means I still end up waiting to buy petites, which I hem 0-2". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-mini-flares#post-1703207 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:49:56 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1703207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think only if the oxford had a heel, would they be good with a cropped flare or bootcut. (Obnoxious oxford pic below.)</p> <p>As for the hemming, that's so difficult, and I think it depends on how long your own leg is -- would it be better to hem a full flare or a crop flare, buy a petite in either of those, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-mini-flares#post-1703180 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:24:48 +0000 Thistle 1703180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For trousers with a small flare, some might call them bootcut if one were not hip to the new logo, could you wear them with oxfords as well as booties?</p> <p>Also, if you have to have all your pants hemmed, how many inches can you take up on a flare before its pointless to buy a flare </p>
