Period. 929866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the idea of cutting them off! &nbsp;I think Lauren (The Pear Shape) just did a little cut-off tutorial. &nbsp;I think what will be most appealing about these as cut-offs is that they'll really bring home how shapely your lovely legs are! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929863 Sat, 11 May 2013 00:21:43 +0000 Angie 929863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I vote chop! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929859 Sat, 11 May 2013 00:18:05 +0000 Anonymous 929859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, I am not sure. would they look like bell bottoms if cut off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929842 Fri, 10 May 2013 23:50:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 929842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd chop them:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929672 Fri, 10 May 2013 18:57:30 +0000 ironkurtin 929672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Chop away!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929670 Fri, 10 May 2013 18:54:56 +0000 Sara L. 929670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I recently cut off a pair of maternity jeans that were too short and I love the result.&nbsp; If you won't wear them as pants, then I say go for it.&nbsp; Like Ceit says, start long - you can always cuff them shorter or cut again. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929624 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:44:58 +0000 Kristin L 929624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you won't miss them as long pants, go for it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929623 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:44:26 +0000 Astrid 929623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Texstyle! These are my only pair of BFs, that's the reason why I'm hesitating. Although, when you consider how much more I love those straight legs in the same length...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929621 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:42:14 +0000 texstyle 929621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I should have added I have 2 pair of dark wash BF shorts that I bought last year KUT from the Kloth so a light wash pair for me is in order. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929619 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:41:38 +0000 texstyle 929619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd go for it. I'm considering cutting off one of my pair of BF's too - because I want the lighter wash in shorts and I already own a replacement pair that I bought in a more appropriate pant length. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929618 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:41:13 +0000 Astrid 929618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ceit! If I cut them then I'd definitely start long to see what length works best. Pinning them up to see doesn't work at full length.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929610 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:37:04 +0000 Anonymous 929610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am no guide, as I just chopped off my largest pair of BF jeans too (same reason, lost some weight, they felt huge huge, needed some shorts). I cut mine to mid-thigh, as I have three pairs of long shorts now.<br /><br />I say cut away! Start long, and you can always go shorter :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-cut-my-bf-jeans-off#post-929607 Fri, 10 May 2013 17:35:06 +0000 Astrid 929607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I still haven't bought another pair of shorts for summer, everything out there either looks bad or is too expensive. So I started thinking I might cut my BF jeans off to get another pair of shorts... Bad idea?<br /><br />They are very roomy, I'm wearing them without a belt in the pics. I bought them as baggy BFs and have lost 6lbs since then. I'm feeling like I'm swimming in them, so I haven't worn them at all lately. I much prefer my slightly baggy straight legs. Do you think cutting these off would work? If yes to what length? The denim is quite lightweight, it would be a great summer fabric, despite the dark wash. Or do you think I should keep them long?<br />
